Charity hits out at social media sites after police report videos of Leeds children fighting
A national children's charity has criticised social media companies for failing to remove disturbing content after police in Leeds had to request the closure of a page featuring children fighting.
The page, published on Facebook and Instagram, featured 18 videos of school pupils fighting as well as several posts encouraging people to 'send in your videos'.
It included violent scraps between schoolchildren thought to be as young as 11.
