Perhaps we did fail the lad.  Children's Aid should have plucked the boy away from his obviously unfit family before they dragged him off to a warzone and taught him bombmaking.  If the Children's Aid people knew that I was going to take my child to a place where bullets were flying and bombs were exploding they would rightly think that I was unfit.  Why does this family get a free pass?

So Canada should apologize for failing on the child protection front and do a much better job of identifying parents like his who are brain-washing their children with such beliefs.
