I think that approach has been taken with other British citizens who travelled to Syria under similar circumstances. In her case, one question is how she gets her papers for her and her baby to leave Syria. She has never had a UK passport and would need British consulate support to obtain one. So her chances of returning don't look too high unless perhaps a journalist acts as a go-between but is there enough of a story to make it worth the hassle?
