Tony Hudgell was admitted to the Evelina London Children’s Hospital in Southwark, South East London, as a one-month-old infant. After being tormented by his biological parents, he suffered from many fractures, severe organ failure, and sepsis.
A boy who lost his legs after being abused by his mother
Jody Simpson and her boyfriend, Anthony Smith, were imprisoned for 10 years for assaulting Tony Hudgell when he was six weeks old. The child had severe life-threatening and life-changing limb fractures, as well as multiple organ failures and infections. Tony, now eight years old, had his legs amputated below the knee but has found happiness with his adoptive parents, Paula and Mark Hudgell. Paula, 54, is now advocating for a nationwide database of child offenders.
She told The Mirror: “He is very angry with them and angry they could be allowed out of prison. “ He is quite scared and anxious. The abuse he suffered hurts him every day.
He has often asked ‘When will my legs grow back?’. “I hope the panel will listen to every word I have to say. They have no right to complain if their release is denied.”
In the summer of this year, Simpson and Smith were scheduled for automatic release on parole halfway through their sentences. However, Dominic Raab, the justice secretary, intervened at the last minute to halt their release using new authority pertaining to dangerous criminals. However, Simpson has now brought the matter before the High Court, where counsel will contend that Mr. Raab’s last-minute action was illegal.
Tony was subjected to a series of “spiteful, forceful attacks” in the 41 days after his birth.
If she succeeds in the task, she and Smith might be let free in January within 48 hours. In the 41 days after his birth, little Tony was exposed to a series of “spiteful, forceful attacks.”
The callous Simpson and Smith refused to call for aid, thus the infant was left to suffer from various injuries for 10 days. When he was finally transported to the hospital, the doctors discovered he had ripped ligaments in addition to fractured fingers and toes.
Along with suffering from multiple organ failure, septicemia, toxic shock syndrome, and fractures to both thighs, lower legs, ankles, toes, and thumbs, Tony also had septicemia.

The baby’s legs had to be amputated owing to injuries from Simpson and Smith’s forcefully swinging him about, and he was put on life support due to a mass in his brain. Because of his severe wounds, Tony would need artificial legs for the rest of his life and be largely deaf.
Since he moved in with Paula and Mark when he was four months old, he has helped the Evelina hospital, where his life was spared, by raising more than £1,7 million. The remarkable boy also contributed to Tony’s Law, which increased the maximum sentence for anyone who intentionally damages a child from 10 to 14 years in prison.
