(European Conservative) Amid a rise in militant Muslim fundamentalism, French facilities for vulnerable children appear to be deliberately targeted by Islamist recruiters, who see them as perfect candidates for radicalisation.
This concern comes after reports highlighting other numerous shortcomings of the child welfare services: children are abused, addicted to drugs, or involved in prostitution rings.
The government report on the Muslim Brotherhood’s entryism highlighted the interest that Islamic fundamentalists have in the education sector: young people, who are easily moulded, are indeed a prime target for recruitment. This is particularly true when it comes to vulnerable children and teenagers without a family structure, such as those who end up in public care facilities for minors.
