Boy, 11, is Blackpool crime spree ringleader, MP says
An 11-year-old boy who attacked a Police Officer is the " ringleader" of a Crime Spree , an MP has said.
Conservative MP Scott Benton said a gang of youths had committed " hundreds of crimes" in Blackpool in recent weeks.
He Said police attempts to bring the ringleader to justice had been compromised by children's services, " who refuse to criminalise teenagers".
The Council said that was " completely untrue" and there was no interference.
Mr Benton, who represents Blackpool South, said residents in the areas of Talbot and Brunswick had " been plagued by anti-social behaviour in recent weeks, with hundreds of different crimes being committed by a gang of teenagers".
He Said the 11-year-old was " responsible for over 80 different offences, including assaulting a female Police Officer ".

Blackpool Council described Mr Benton's comments as " uninformed" and " unhelpful" adding that The Number of crimes in the area had dropped, although " some serious and impactful issues remain".
It said it was " completely untrue" to suggest that there had been " any interference from children's social care in The Work of The Police to address criminal acts or youth anti-social behaviour. "
" The Youth Justice Partnership in Blackpool rightly takes a 'child first' approach to anti-social behaviour among children, but this does not mean that offending is taken lightly. "
The Local authority said suggesting an 11-year-old was a ringleader was " harmful" to individual children, and detracted from The National issues of county lines, when vulnerable children are exploited to commit crime.
Police, council and community organisations had " worked hard" to address local concerns and engage vulnerable children and Young People in " positive activities" it added.
Earlier this year, The Council promised to improve children's activities after a review reported that
