The adoptive mum of brave Tony Hudgell has told of her anger at learning that the twisted birth mother jailed for abusing him has applied for day release.
Depraved Jody Simpson and boyfriend Anthony Smith were both jailed for 10 years after torturing their son so badly when he was just six weeks old that he ended up losing both his legs.
Tony, now seven, found a loving home with Paula Hudgell and learned to walk with prosthetic limbs, winning hearts across the nation with his charity treks.
