It almost sounds like deprogramming from a cult and i dont think thats going to work given the numbers. And so i would be interested in hearing from both of our witnesses about are there examples of things that have worked in a preventing people from going and unfortunately if we fail on that, helping to reintegrate them in a genuine successful way when and if they come back.
