Thousands of foreign children, including British children, face life imprisonment in camps and prisons in northeastern Syria, with little hope of being released.
A BBC investigation has found that children, whose parents supported the Islamic State, are being transported from desert camps to secure children’s homes, and into adult prisons, in a prison conveyor belt.
Britain has only brought back a few children from Syria, most of them orphans.
Kurdish authorities running the facilities say they cannot handle them, and that ISIS terrorist cells are recruiting and radicalizing children as young as eight.
The BBC’s Middle East correspondent Quentin Somerville reports from northeastern Syria.
