I agree, nut as a father of a 14 (and 17) year old son, I can't imagine my sons (or their friends) doing something like this. So in my world view, maybe, not a lot of boys are really radicalized?

It doesn't have to go as far as planning a terrorist attack. Most young boys who are radicalized will not do that. They probably appear normal or perhaps troubled.
