Unfortunately in the West there is a sense of entitlement, especially in young people, that they are allowed the most egregious mistakes, just because they are young or naive or stupid - personal responsibility for one's own actions and being guilty for it and atoning for it is seen as irrelevant and redundant. Anyone who believes that this girl didn't know just how evil the Islamic State was and that seems to be the whole of Germany is simply being stupid. It isn't easy for a 15 year old village girl to impulsively go from Germany all the way to Syria, crossing borders illegally with dangerous escorts, without a backward glance towards her Dad shows an absolute coldness of heart, that a psychopath would be proud of. She's good at it - at fooling the world and herself. At least, she isn't Syria's problem anymore. I hope someday Germany gets to experience the full blown Islamist terror that Syria had to endure, fighting the most evil psychopaths, who were foreign citizens. Hopefully, Putin will teach the EU a lesson that puts to rest the entitlement culture of the West.

She was an avid social media user, so she had seen IS videos online, which would clearly show what IS was all about. She arranged to go there and meticulously executed the plan, without a single thought for her father. It clearly shows her INTENT & her ABSOLUTE COMMITMENT to the Islamic State.

You can't just correct all the wrongdoing of the world. Sometimes you have to be cruel for a better world. BeCause some wrongdoing never going to be justifiable by any excuses.

Is this girl? Daesh? Or german govt? Or you would like to forgive all? 😠

Leonora's extraordinary privilege is laid bare here; she had the luxury of leaving when she realised how horrific life under Daesh was, and a father who fought to bring her home. All I can think about are the ordinary Syrians and Iraqis that lived - and died - in abject terror, under the oppressive rule of Daesh for as long as it lasted, with little recourse but to become refugees in the pursuit of safety. The wars that have laid waste to entire societies, the human suffering that continues to this day and the millions of stories of trauma that will remain untold. 💔

She is separated from her father and I imagine she probably did not want to be part of the documentary. You cannot show somebody's face without their consent.

The Germans are very trusting (or naive) people to let her back. Isis women did unimaginable punishments on the girls and women captured by militants. When they lose power they can just run home like this and pretend to be changed.

Couldn't agree more. While she's getting to live a safe, happy life now, the victims of the terror group she chose to support will never get that same luxury. She chose to join a terrorist group, the victims didn't choose to be born into a civil war, or part of marginalized communities in Syria. I honestly feel terrible for Leonora's father, and I understand that he is going to naturally prioritize the well being of his daughter over strangers, but the German government should have never let her return.

The emotional journey of Leonora Messing and her family, from darkness to hope, is truly heart-rending and inspiring. This documentary showcases the resilience of the human spirit and the power of family love. Thank you for sharing this powerful story.

I'm curious why they released the initial story about her while she was still in the camp. Clearly that was extremely dangerous for her.

This is a very interesting story. But I see absolutely no regret for anything she has done except for herself. What an amazing father how lucky she is.

I feel for her father, but de-radicalization is really hard in terms of young adults, so I would not feel for her. The fact is that when you look behind those attacks carried out by isis, someone is brainwashed to a certain extent that they didn't care about any other things anymore except for their extreme religious beliefs. Instead of feeling sorry for someone who has already committed crimes, maybe analytic and prevention works should be done in advance before everything is too late. I hope there will be fewer and fewer people who are misled into the abyss of terrorism because they never even realized how they hurt innocent people who have no power to protect themselves in those sudden deadly attacks. By saying this, I am not trying to be judgmental, but as a family member whose be-loved ones are victims of extremist attacks back in Belgium in 2016 in Brussels, the scars are forever there, and all of us can just move on with grief.

Strangely, people in the comments don’t want to see her remorse. She states her guilt and remorse over and over and over…. People just don’t want to hear it-/they’d rather have someone to falsely judge. She says she was wrong and feels guilty. What do people want~ for her to cut herself and bleed for them?

So true. She gave her father so much stress and grief and he had made a nice life for her but still she acted like a stupid fool. I don’t feel sorry for her, I only wish this father would have had a better daughter.

what about the slaves she and her husband had? do we think she didn't have anything to do with them? The woman and children that were enslaved in her home? I still think that unlike other women, she wanted out early. But there were comments made by her that she fell in love with her husband after he bought those slaves.

Heydrich's wife lived happily into the 1980s and even rented out his holiday cabin in Fehmarn as Air B'n'B (in the 70's). Just an example.

I can't watch it further! That stupid girl is not to bear!! For her father all the respect!!

Her poor children! Has she ever considered what she has done to them?

I really don't understand the mentality behind a teenager being drawn to that kind of stuff. Either Leonora was really unintelligent, or liked the idea of violence? I know all teenagers want to fit in but THAT way? I'm glad she's home and her father is a great father, but I really can't wrap my head around someone willingly joining ISIS.

Exactly. There is something really messed up in her mind, so I hope she can ACTUALLY heal and become a functional adult.

She was 15 at the time she left - our brains are not fully developed until 25 years old, particularly the frontal lobe which aids in decision making. She’s not even 25 yet. Not that this is an excuse for her, but her brain is still growing. Obviously she isn’t great at making decisions.

As a Syrian I can say people like her just made our life even worse!!!!!

If you read the history of islam you'll see it, spread in history only through sword.

A father's battle for his daughters freedom is what this video is about for me!

Massive respect for the father and utterly disgusted by that girl.

My sympathies are with the father of this story, what a harrowing experience for this poor man. I never felt his daughter had any genuine regrets for all that she did. Either she's not very bright or just doesn't really care about all that had happened. So many died in Syria, it will take decades for that country to fully recover.

She seems very cold, showing hardly any emotions at all. The last statement of her that she deserves a normal life really shocked me. It shows she has not learned her lesson.

May God bless and heal this precious father, who clearly has been advocating for this daughter, and every precious family member of victims of this group.

She doesn’t look remorseful because she still hasn’t fully understood what did. And worse of all she is still in survival mode and she doesn’t even know it. That’s scary

I'm glad she is safe and back with her family. I won't be spending time with my family because they gave their lives fighting against ISIS. As a Kurd, I have never felt safe in this world but I'm happy for you. I hope you've learned your lesson and I hope you understand what the actions of people like you have done to people like me. You've ruined my life and taken away the people who I loved. I will live the rest of my life suffering because of your decisions and the actions of other Islamist terrorists.

You deserve to live a fullfilling, joyful and meaningful life, for you first and in spite of these bastards. She's safe because europeans are laxist with these terrorists yet it's "us" who pay both for that reputation (all muslims), and those who suffer directly from persecution (muslims not agreeing to their rules, christians,yezidis,etc) because they were in territories where conflicts are raging. God bless you.
