Annie Willson, whose husband Alan suffered horrific brain injuries in a savage attack by three teenage boys, is campaigning for new laws to make it easier to lock up young offenders.
Alan was battered to within an inch of his life by George Tilley, then 13, his brother Archie, 14, and Harry Furlong, 17, in April last year.
The Tilley brothers, who got 12 years after a court heard how they had beaten Alan with a 3ft log, both had previous convictions.
