POLICE in Staffordshire and Cheshire have taken DNA samples from more than 4,000 children in just two years.
Latest figures reveal the swabs were taken from an average of five youngsters some as young as 10 each day during the period.
Police say the samples were taken from victims and witnesses as well as suspects to help prevent or solve crimes.
But campaigners have accused police of wasting their resources on targeting innocent children.
