MUM BACKS JUDGE FOR USE OF TONY'S LAW IN SARA CASE
Tony's Law, championed by 57-yearold Paula Hudgell, increased the maximum sentence to life in prison for causing or allowing the death of a child.
It had previously been just 14 years. Tony, 10, who inspired the law, had been so severely injured by his birth parents as a baby that he had to have both legs amputated.
His parents got only 10 years in prison each - the maximum sentence at the time for causing or allowing serious physical harm to a child.
Paula, who adopted Tony as a tot, was so horrified that she began campaigning for stricter punishment for child cruelty abusers.
In what is thought to be a legal first, Sara Sharif's uncle, Faisal Malik, 29, has now been jailed for 16 years thanks to Tony's Law.
