(Canberra) The Aussie government has revealed plans to manage the return of as many as 70 children of Australian ISIS terrorists whose parents have died for the cause. Justice Minister Michael Keenan said the government was aware of about 70 children who had either travelled with their Australian parents or have been born to Australian parents active in the conflict in Syria or Iraq. He also stated that the plan prioritises security but also looks at counselling, education and welfare and is being done "hand-in-hand" with the states, who would case-manage each child.
