Lakemba, A Boy, 6, calls for caliphate in 'sickening' video, page-2

NSW Community Services Minister **rielle Upton told Channel Seven that her department and the police were investigating the footage.

"These are disturbing and shocking images and they do raise concerns about the welfare of the four young boys who are identified in the video," she said.

Immigration Minister Scott Morrison described the footage as "ugly", "sickening" and "absolutely disturbing".

"It's one thing for these peddlers of vicious hate to do that themselves, which is appalling enough, but to recruit children into such a sickening display I think appalls all Australians of all religions, rightly," he told Channel Seven.

The footage comes as it was revealed last week that at least two more young Muslim men from south-western Sydney had been stopped from travelling overseas to join foreign fighters by members of their own communities.

One young man was trying to book a one-way ticket to the Middle East, raising suspicions with the travel agent. The agent contacted the man's father, who was then able to intervene.

Another teenager had been spending a lot of time on the internet and, when his father investigated, he found propaganda about going to fight in Syria. The boy's father organised counselling for him.
