A High Court injunction banning their identification, as well as the identification of two other children, covers social media comments, photos or anything else that could lead to their identification.

South Yorkshire Police has warned that anyone who chooses to name them could be charged with contempt of court.

Both Barrass and Machin, of no fixed abode, were brought to court for the 45-minute hearing.

No pleas were entered.

A provisional trial date has been fixed for Tuesday, November 12.
