Iraqi forces have saved hundreds of kids who were being held and indoctrinated by ISIS to be terrorists in the city of Mosul.
Hundreds of ISIS “cubs of the Caliphate” have been rescued. However, many more like Isa Dare (pictured), whom his British mother gave up to ISIS when he was just one year old, are still in captivity
The children, labelled as “cubs of the Capliphate” and some of whom are just five years old, have narrated horrific stories of how they were taught to kill.
For instance, 10-year-old Brahim recalls how ISIS jihadists gave them guns without bullets and made them shoot at imaginary “infidels.”
There have been reports before of young kids carrying out horrific acts such as executions and suicide bombings. Experts worry that ISIS indoctrination may have already done significant damage to the psychologies of the rescued kids.
Aid workers in Iraq are now rehabilitating the rescued kids through therapy. It is feared that hundreds more children are still in ISIS captivity across Iraq and Syria.
