Evil child abusers could be jailed for LIFE under new laws debated in Parliament

CHILD abusers could finally face life in jail under new laws debated in Parliament today.

The legislation is inspired by Tony Hudgell, who lost both legs after being tortured.

Birth mum Jody Simpson and boyfriend Anthony Smith got just ten years in jail.

Tony’s Law will see the maximum term for causing or allowing the death of a child increased from 14 years to life.

Causing or allowing serious physical harm, and child cruelty, will go from ten years to 14.

Tony’s adoptive mum Paula Hudgell, from West Malling, Kent, said it will mean “monsters stay behind bars for longer”.

Tony, now seven, has since learned to walk with prosthetic limbs.

Paula also urged No 10 to create a national list of child abusers, similar to the sex offenders register.

Ministers say they are considering the plan
