The evil parents who abused Tony Hudgell are being freed this month – to the fury of his adoptive mother, who says the “sickening” news feels “like a blow to the stomach”.
Tony, seven, was beaten so brutally as a baby that both legs had to be amputated.
Since then, he has become a national fundraising icon and adoptive mother Paula Hudgell has won tougher sentences for child abusers.
