Should Woeful Parents Lose Their Kids?

About a year ago, as the ISIS war in Syria and Iraq was winding down.....there was this chatter going on about the foreign ISIS members (the Brits, the French, the Germans, etc)....the young men and women who'd drifted off to participate in this civil war going on from 2013 to 2018. The question came up about what would happen to those who'd survived.  Naturally....neither Iraq or Syria want these individuals to remain.  Most of the young men are dead, but those who survived, and their wives (with kids now) are stuck in this limbo.

Well....things have shifted, and some of those individuals have been allowed back into their former homeland.  I noticed this past week, questions have arisen in Germany about the situation....if you can possibly allow the kids to remain with Mom or Dad.  The accusation?  Welfare offices in Germany are stuck with this weird scenario....Mom and Dad were radicalized and at least one of them were killing people for a religious cause.  So, should you allow the kids to remain in that type of household?

What the journalists say is that no case has yet risen to the level of a judge taking away kids.  But there are various investigative efforts going on, and some welfare 'minders' are stuck with this crazy scenario, and their duty to protect kids.

If they do bend over backwards....are they creating another generation of radicalized youth in Germany?  If they go the other way (to protect the kid), will the courts get involved and deny this solution?

How many living parents, with kids....are we talking about?  In general, the authorities hint that roughly 300 individuals (adults) have come back into Germany.  Roughly fifty kids are among the women who've come back.  It's not a massive number, nor will there be some national policy over this situation.  It'll amount to a city by city review, and how individual judges will react (in family court) to each situation. 

Another element that probably won't end for at least two to three more years.
