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 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
