Parents made children watch beheading video

A Somali couple were discovered to be brainwashing their children with Isil videos after their eldest child emailed Childline, the High Court has heard.

The youngsters, aged between 10 and 18, said that they had been made to watch footage including images of a beheading and a rotting corpse. Police traced the email address to their home.

The allegations came in a written ruling of care proceedings at a hearing in the Family Division of the High Court in London.
