In reply to the discussion: The Tiniest Human Shield - the Daily Mail, also Guardian, see #20 [View all]herding cats
(19,585 posts)36. With absolutely all due respect
For the sake of adding factual information on the story.
The terrfied mother, the infant and 4 year old were abducted together. Her parents were thought abducted, but their dead bodies were later identified. The father was not in any of the videos of the boys abduction and only after scouring hours of video of the attack did his family later find a separate video of him with bleeding from his head being encircled and dragged off by a group of terrorist.
There is absolutely no proof the family were somehow reunited by a these terrorist after the fact. Also, it's disputable, to say the least, how much care a captive mother who's a victim to the whims of her kidnappers is capable of giving to her also captive children.

Telling someone to "calm down" is a passive-aggressive way of dismissing them.

Because in this era where everyone knows everything everyone else is doing, there's not a whisper of this activity.

Cool then. "In the care of his family" who are hostages to terrorists. It's all good.
