ATROCITIES in the world are a nightmare for all concerned but you have to ask why so many youngsters are getting involved? Is it because they feel left out or has something gone wrong in their life?

Family life is not as close knit as it used to be and when youngsters look elsewhere for stimulation they are liable to being influenced by extremist organisations.

There are no easy ways to stop this but intervention schemes staged by churches and other youth organisations, to help alienated youngsters feel part of a family, would be a start.
