Eight-year-olds recruited by councils to spy on neighbours who drop litter
Children are being offered money by councils to spy on neighbours and report petty offences such as 'bin crimes' and dog-fouling.
The youngsters are among 5,000 residents encouraged to photograph or video neighbours in the act of 'environmental crimes'.
In some cases children as young as eight, are being bribed with rewards of £500 for passing on the names of neighbours or taking down their car registration numbers.
