Report: Undercover police had kids with activists
Posted on Thursday, 26 January 2012 by Sarah Jane

LONDON (AP) — A report in Britain's Guardian newspaper says that two undercover police officers have fathered children with the activists they were spying on.
Key details are hazy but the revelations are the latest in a series of reports which has cast doubt on whether undercover police in the U.K. have gone too far in seeking to infiltrate environmental, animal rights and extremist groups.
The newspaper said Friday that two operatives had children while on the job, although the timing of the officers' alleged relationships is unclear.
The paper said one of them fathered a child in the 1980s and that another one did so "some years ago."
The newspaper cited one of the now-former police operatives and an unnamed second person as the source for its reporting.
