| The number of innocent children placed on the Government's vast DNA database for life has quadrupled in the past year to more than 100,000, it has emerged.
The astonishing increase, which follows a controversial change to the law, was described by opposition MPs as an "extremely sinister development".
It will fuel concerns that police are targeting for arrest youngsters who have done nothing wrong, simply to get their hands on their DNA.
Terri Dowty, director of the pressure group Action on Rights for Children, said: "These are shocking statistics. These children will be on the database for the rest of their lives.
"Whenever their DNA is found at a crime scene, they will have to be prepared to justify themselves. We are turning thousands of innocent children into lifelong suspects."
The revelation a year ago that the details of 24,000 innocent youngsters had been stored on the DNA database brought widespread alarm.
