French mother sues government for failing to stop son from joining Takfiris
2015-06-10
[Iran Press TV] A woman in La Belle France has taken legal action against the French government for failing to stop her teenage son from joining the Takfiri
...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed...
groups operating in Syria.
Money's money. Betcha they wouldn't want to pay it back if the kid makes it back alive.
A lawyer of the woman, whose identity has not been publicized, said Tuesday that the French security forces acted negligently by failing to stop the woman's 16-year-old son when he left the country for The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
in 2013 to join the ranks of the Takfiri Lion of Islams.

Samia Maktouf said Turkey was "notorious as the route to enter Syria," adding, "The police have committed a grave error... concerning this unaccompanied minor, who had a one-way ticket to Turkey with no baggage."
The boy, identified only as "B," left the southern French town of Nice on December 27, 2013 without informing his family. The boy took a plane for Turkey before reportedly heading for Syria on land.

The mother of the teen now seeks reparations worth EUR 110,000 (USD 120,000) for herself and her three other children. However,
Switzerland makes more than cheese...
Maktouf said what matters to the mother the most is putting an end to the departure of French minors to countries where Takfiri Death Eaters are active.

"It's not the money that we are interested in, but we want it known that an error was made. The departure of minors... must stop," the lawyer said.

The French Interior Ministry has rejected claims that the government was responsible for the boy's departure, saying authorities would have had no legal basis to stop him at the airport.

#1  Actually before 2013 a minor unaccompanied unless accompanied by _both_ parents needed an authorization from the missing parent(s). That was to avoid kidnapping after a divorce.

Unfortunately since 2013 minors are allowed to leave France unaccompanied with merely a passport or ID card.

Since he lef in 2013 it depends on if it was before or after the law was changed.
