Tory MP Scott Benton says the boy, who attacked a police officer, is part of a gang in Blackpool.
An 11-year-old boy who attacked a police officer is the "ringleader" of a crime spree, an MP has said.
He said the 11-year-old was "responsible for over 80 different offences, including assaulting a female police officer".Asking for a parliamentary debate on whether police have the powers to tackle anti-social behaviour, he said: "Sadly the efforts of Lancashire Police to bring him to justice have been compromised by Blackpool Council's children's directorate, who refuse to criminalise teenagers.
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."
