ISIS Chops Off Arm of 11-Year-Old Boy, Beheads 4-Year-Old Girl as Forms of Punishment

There seems to be no limits to the brutal and horrific acts being carried out by the Islamic State (ISIS). Just recently, a family of survivors revealed that the radical jihadists tortured a group of children, some as young as 11 years old.

One of the families who escaped from the clutches of the ISIS in the occupied Syrian city of Raqqa told Sky News that the jihadists physically hurt the kids as a form of punishment for certain crimes.

"All my children have seen them," the mother, who refused to be named, said of the punishments.

The mother was forced to sell and marry off her 14-year-old daughter to an Egyptian ISIS fighter, who was 29 years old. The girl's mother had to raise her four sons and daughter alone after her husband was killed during an airstrike. Her daughter asked her, "Mother, do you think if my father was alive, he would accept this marriage?" Thankfully, they were able to flee from Raqqa before the daughter could marry the jihadist.

One of the other victims of ISIS was an 11-year-old orphan boy who was tied down and his arm chopped off because he tried to sell a stolen car battery in order to buy food.

In one instance, the ISIS even beheaded a four-year-old girl after her mother angrily threatened to chop her head off. The girl refused to listen to her mother and so the mother angrily told her, "Go home and I swear to God that I will behead you if you don't."

One of the ISIS members heard the mother's threat and told her, "Since you swore to God you should behead her." The mother refused to do it, saying she did not mean what she just said. The jihadists then took matters into their own hands and beheaded the little girl.

In another instance, a mother was separated from her own children and was being starved by ISIS. After two days, they fed her rice with meat. When she started eating, she was told she just ate her three-year-old boy.

"She tells me please, I can't, I don't know what can I do — I'm eating my son. This is what happened with those woman under ISIS control and nobody cares," said Vian Dakhil, a Yazidi.
