A boy who lost his legs after being abused by his parents could have a new law named after him, 'Tony’s Law.'
Tony's adoptive mother, Paula Hedgel hopes the law will extend the maximum sentence for child cruelty to life.

Bear Serious Case Review was made public today, no admissions to failings but lots of learnings! It seems so many professionals had a piece of the jigsaw but without the professional curiosity and communication, they did not see the bigger picture.

3 years ago today I officially became your mummy, but from the day you entered our home you was mine in my 💓 I couldn't possibly love you anymore than I do my gorgeous 🐻
How shocking the figures of child cruelty and neglect...... Tony is the lucky survivor...... poor Alfie sadly lost his fight......our campaign is so important to bring in #TonysLaw for all these babies and children without a voice #justiceforbear@TomTugendhat
This video is 2 years ago. My granddaughter's first steps BUT also shows how awful 🐻 legs were. The decision was right to amputate but this should never have been allowed to happen to a 41 day old baby at the hands of his birth parents. #TonysLaw so important for future children

Proud of how far we have come this year. Change for all babies and children for the future. We need to be their voice thank you @TomTugendhat and all the MPs supporting this.
A year ago today both Tony Smith & Jody Simpson found guilty on all 4 counts in under an hour.
Such an emotional year ant thank you to everyone who has helped with the campaign.

I am proud to be a sponsor of a bill introduced by my colleague @TomTugendhat , which aims to bring sentencing powers for cases of child cruelty more in line with serious assaults on adults.

Paula Hudgell adopted Tony after injuries from his parents’ abuse meant he lost his legs. Today @TomTugendhat introduced a bill to Parliament calling for longer sentences for child cruelty after @paula_hudgell’s determined campaigning. He called it Tony’s Law.
