But they didn't arrest him and they didn't go and search his house and his computers.
If they had, they would have found the beginnings of this armory of weapons that he was building up in the home.
They would have found the precursors to ricin that he'd purchased.
And they would have found some very troubling things in his internet search history.
But because that was dealt with as being a vulnerable child rather than a child who might be a risk to others, even though he was carrying a knife on a bus and said he was thinking of using it,
then that was never dealt with.
The judge is pretty clear that he thinks that is the moment, one of many, but a really key moment where he could have been stopped, he could have ended up in custody or in some quite serious criminal justice situation and he might not have been able to carry out the attack.
Yes, I mean, one of the issues is that Axel Rudder-Campana's searches at school were a little bit known about, and one of the things that had led to him for the first time being referred to the counter-extremism programme that's called PREVENT.
But nobody knew what he was searching for at home, and because of the missed opportunities, nobody...
search for what he was looking for at home, and his parents didn't have any parental controls on his use of the internet at home.
So it was a complete free-for-all in terms of his use of the internet at home, not only what he was searching for, but also the ordering of machetes and knives and the castor beans that can be used to make
rise in.
And what the judge is saying is that he thinks that maybe in certain circumstances where there's been some criminal justice or extremism intervention, maybe there should be like a legal block on what a kid can access at home.
So it goes beyond what the parents think is appropriate and what they should put in place on the devices and on the broadband router, but actually whether there should be a legal block.
Again, another thing that he wants to look at.
Just
going back to the parents who clearly were in an incredibly difficult situation, one of the things that comes out from both their evidence and from Sir Adrian Fulford's conclusions is that
They were being obstructive.
It wasn't just that they were lost.
They were clearly lost.
