Four British children phone Childline to report parents for ‘forcing them to watch Isis beheading video’

Four British siblings have been taken into care after they phoned Childline when they were allegedly shown an Isis beheading video by their parents.

The children, whose identities have not been revealed, told authorities that their parents were supporters of Isis and forced them to watch the disturbing video.

One of the children, a 10-year-old boy with learning difficulties, has been left unable to speak due to the alleged ‘physical and emotional abuse’, according to court papers.

The oldest of the siblings, an 18-year-old girl, contacted Childline to say they “‘were kept at home, did not attend school and were kept socially isolated, only being allowed out once in every three weeks’.

The High Court judgement says: ‘The children have complained that their parents expressed support for extremist violence and have expressed anti-semitic, anti-British, homophobic and anti-white views in the home, which the children reject.’
