Police Charge 14 Year Old Boy Over Alleged Terror Plot Targeting London Mosques The news that a 14 year old boy from south London has been charged with an offense linked to "extreme rightwing terrorism" is a sobering reminder of the worrying trend of youth extremism in Britain.
The case fits into a disturbing pattern of violence and intimidation targeting Muslim communities across the country.
Helen Flanagan, head of counter terrorism policing London, noted that while it's concerning to see someone so young charged with offenses of this nature, there's an increasing number of children and young people in their casework.
