Our National Coordinator of Counterterrorism and Safety has warned, again and more strongly, in it's new threat assessment report, that IS will not shun using children as suicide attackers in Europe, and that with the crumbling of the Caliphate, more and more indoctrinated children will return to the Netherlands.
The report says there's a minimum of 80 Dutch children living in the Caliphate, but quite likely much more, since women do not stop having children once they go to the Caliphate.
IS is aware that children are checked less at borders, and not as easily percieved a threat, and use this to their advantage.
Children are one of the important pillars of the Caliphate. They are essential to the proliferation of IS' cultural inheritage, and are indoctrinated in all aspects of life, through education, through training camps, and through their parents.
Until they are 6 years old, children go to mixed gender schools. After that, boys and girls are schooled seperately.
In the Caliphate schools, a strict interpretation of islam is taught, the jihadistic salafism. Everything that deviates from that is illegal. Teachers that don't stick to the curriculum risk being executed.
Horrible deeds by IS are legitimated with passages from the Quran. Education is linked to military strategy. Lessons are illustrated with tanks, handgrenades, and combat positions.
The main focus lies with creating a strong us - them feeling. 'Them' are the Crusaders, the unbelievers, and the apostates.
During physical excercise classes, children have to do semi-military excercises, while singing the ba'yah, the oath of loyalty to Caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Children are made immune to violence. Parents are required to read bedtime stories about martyrdom, and encouraged to take their children to see public executions. At age 9, boys are selected to join training camps, where they are taught to handle blades and firearms. They'll be trained to be a combatant, a suicide bomber, a sniper, or a bombmaker.
The boys are hardened by a strict regime of little food and hard physical excercise. If they fail to do their tasks properly, they will be flogged by their instructor.
Child-Jihadis appear regularily in IS propaganda videos. They show children acting as executioners, killing captives.
In a recent video, dating from january this year, a 4 - 5 year old toddler shoots a 'PKK prisoner', and watches when a slightly older boy decapitates another prisoner.
The report also warns, again, that it's not just Caliphate children that are a threat. As we've seen in Germany, when a German-Iraqi 12 year old who had never been to the Caliphate tried to detonate a bomb at a christmas market.

It's just legally impossible to interrogate children, or lock them up for prolonged periods of time, especially if they have not commited any criminal act yet. Getting rid of the internet would also help, stopping the radicalization of children at home through social media.
