Adoptive parents of 4-yr-old who had both legs amputated after horrific abuse call for tougher laws

Paula and Mark Hudgell, who adopted four-year-old Tony, are working tirelessly to ensure there are protections in place for vulnerable children in the country
PUBLISHED JAN 4, 2019

The adoptive parents of a four-year-old double amputee who had to have both his legs removed because of the horrific beatings he received at the hands of his birth parents are now pushing for tougher laws to punish such instances of child cruelty.

According to the Daily Mail, Tony was put into the care of Paula and Mark Hudgell just a few days after Christmas 2014 and is now a happy and healthy boy who can enjoy the holidays with his parents and his seven new siblings. But the story could have been a much more tragic one if it weren't for the young boy's resolve and fighting spirit.
