THOUSANDS of children - some as young as 10 - are having their DNA stored on police computers.
ALISON McINNES: MSP says DNA retention must be regulated.
The total number of under-18s on the database has more than tripled in the last three years from 10,425 in 2011 to 35,224 in the past year, according to new figures.
And 251 of the DNA profiles currently stored by police are from youngsters aged 13 and under, including two 10-year-olds.
