In wonderful redwood City, California, the city is recruiting citzens to go out on code enforcement walks, to write down all violations, for follow up by the enforcers. the recruitment includes children, to make matters worse, they even mention it can be used for school credit. no doubt some social planners dream, turing little children into nanny state tattle tales. reminds me of stories of the commie soviets promising children a new bicycle if they report on there mom or dad being unpatriotic. this is sick, sick, sick
whatch out for this crap. they are educating the children in America to be little nazi nanny state troopers. all working for the big government, turning in their neighbors.
you will be next!!!

Controversially, some councils are running 'junior' schemes which are recruiting children. After basic training, volunteers are expected to be the 'eyes and the ears' of the town hall. And if the people being spied upon take violent objection to the fact? These bureaucrats should be charged with putting children at risk.

BTW - “fly-tipping” - I had to look it up. It is dumping on someone else’s property, and/or putting your trash along with there trash to be picked up.

Town hall insanity, at it’s utter worst!
These kids won’t be asked to tell on mommy and daddy. Honest!
Anyone that would vote for this is unfit to hold public office, or a managerial position at a private business.
