Karen Nettleton is a 54-year-old grandmother.

She is also the mother-in-law of Australia’s most notorious Islamist militant.
Her only child, daughter Tara, married notorious terrorist Khaled Sharrouf – an Australian recruited by ISIS, whose fate is unknown following a recent drone strike on a convoy in Syria. She was 15 when she converted to Islam, married Sharrouf and became pregnant. As of early last year, the now-31-year-old lives in Islamic State-controlled Syria with her five children, who are aged between four and 14.
One of Tara’s sons, 10-year-old Abdullah, was pictured holding the severed head of a Syrian soldier last year.
Ms Nettleton says the image – which was tweeted by Sharrouf and splashed across the front page of a newspaper – was the worst thing she has ever seen.

“I just saw this picture of this little boy holding a head… and it just devastated me,” Ms Nettleon told ABC’s 7.30 program.
“It was the worst thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”

Isis is known for killing people who try to leave. Isn't she putting their lives at risk by going to the media.
We can only hope.
This is not the kids fault,but I reckon she knew what was going to happen.Maybe she should have called the authorities earlier if she had an inkling of what was a foot
