Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has met campaigner Paula Hudgell and her adopted son Tony, who was assaulted by his birth parents, and discussed a proposed new child cruelty register.
Tony, 11, was just 41 days old when Jody Simpson and her partner Anthony Smith attacked him, causing multiple fractures and dislocations, and blunt trauma to the face, leading to organ failure, toxic shock and sepsis.
