In a powerful Four Corners investigation, families whose loved ones have fallen into extremism share their heartbreaking stories, calling for urgent action as they confront the devastating consequences of radicalisation.
From ABC:
Families call on governments to act as loved ones fall into extremism.
When Emily’s teenage son became withdrawn, she never imagined he had secretly joined Australia’s most prominent Neo-Nazi group. Now, she and other families are speaking out for the first time, revealing to reporter Avani Dias the painful reality of radicalisation and the struggle to get help.
Australian authorities are urging families to report extremist behaviour and engage in early intervention programs — but many say the system is failing them. A serving police officer has now broken ranks, backing these families and warning that current efforts aren’t working.
This Four Corners investigation exposes the growing threat of homegrown extremism and the desperate calls for stronger action.
