Isn't that what's meant to happen? If your kid starts talking about converting to Islam and becoming a jihadist, surely parents should alert the authorities. The interesting thing is why that wasn't the example they used, given it's the biggest extremist threat the UK faces by a country mile.

Depends. Imagine doing so and having him or her be marked for life over a parents overreaction. Kid could end up on every no fly list in the world overnight and never fly their whole lives. The parents surely worry about these things, especially if they think the person will grow out of it. In any case, I can’t imagine how stressful it must be for those parents

That's on the government not to do idiotic things. True, they often do, but acting as if everything they do may be one is a pretty big fallacy. Soon you'll end up jaywalking because you're sure you know better.
Have you not... seen... the UK government in action in the last 5 years?

Because I don't trust the incentives that law enforcement has coincide in any way with mine.
