(NL Times) Investigations show that more and more underage children are involved in terrorist crimes. The reason for this worrying development is the internet, where children can freely access content calling for violence and attacks, Het Parool reports.
Public prosecutors and child protection authorities have been observing the trend towards more violence among young people for two years. According to the Public Prosecution Service (OM), more and more minors have been named as suspects in dozens of cases of serious violence and terrorism during this period. For public prosecutor Dorien Kardol, the number of such cases is alarming.
This phenomenon is not only taking place in the Netherlands, but throughout Europe, according to Europol.
