Hundreds of children of Jihadists are languishing in the de-radicalization centers in Syrian Kurdistan. Ageing from 11 to 21, these children have witnessed first-hand, the horrors committed by the ISIS fighters, at times even coerced into picking up guns at a young age. Should these children be held responsible for the fanaticism of their parents, or do they deserve a second chance in life?
