A 14-year-old Islamic State supporter has pleaded guilty to abusing Christian school students and flying an ISIL flag through Western Sydney.

According to a Fairfax report, the boy is the third member of his family to come to the attention of authorities because of his support for the terrorist organisation.

Appearing in Parramatta Children’s Court this week, the teenager pleaded guilty to driving past a school in Harris Park in September and yelling death threats to a student and teacher.

He sat in the passenger seat of a car and flew an Islamic State flag out the window while an 18-year-old friend drove the car.

The teenager’s family home was raided two days later as part of an investigation into the alleged plot to behead a member of the public in Sydney.

One week later he was arrested over the incident.

A spokesperson for the school said the students were shaken up and were in disbelief that events involving the Islamic State had “come to front gate of their school, of all places in Australia”.
