"I understand the anger that they have towards a lot of us here, but the kids don't need to suffer. You know my kids have a right at least to be treated like normal kids," she said.The Australian woman said that she tried to flee the so-called Islamic State for two years and return to Australia, but she had no way of getting out.
"People tell you 'oh just go walk over', but you can't do that. It's not safe. You're looking for a way out, and there's no way out until somebody makes a way for you.
