Evil mother who abused her baby son Tony Hudgell so horrifically he had to have both his legs amputated is back in jail after 'having a fling with a sex offender'

An evil mother who abused her baby son so horrifically he had to have both his legs amputated is back in jail after 'having a fling with a sex offender'. 

Tony Hudgell, now nine, suffered multiple injuries, organ failure and sepsis at the hands of his mother, Jody Simpson and her partner Anthony Smith when he was just six weeks old. 

The pair were jailed for ten years back in 2018 but Simpson was released last February. 

However, Simpson is now back in prison after breaking her strict licence conditions by having 'a relationship with a convicted sex offender', The Sun has reported. 

Tony's adoptive mother Paula from West Malling, Kent, was notified of the update last week.

She said: 'The fact she's been having a relationship with a convicted sex offender is shocking.

'It proves she's still a risk to society and belongs behind bars.'

A spokesperson for the HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) said: 'We don't hesitate to recall offenders to custody if they break the rules.' MailOnline has contacted HMPPS for further comment. 

Tony - who has had prosthetics on his lower legs since he was a toddler - has met with the Princess of Wales several times. 

In March, he had life-changing surgery in Sheffield that will enable him to be much more mobile into his teenage years and adulthood.  

Paula took to X to thank the staff who cared for Tony throughout the procedure. She wrote: 'We are Home.

'We would like to thank everyone for their incredible support and well wishes and the biggest thank you to Mr Fernandez and his wonderful team at Sheffield Children's Hospital we were so well looked after. Back to Sheffield on Wed for our first appointment.'

Tony - who has won a Pride of Britain award - previously raised £2million for charity by walking long distances on his crutches. 

He initially set out to raise £500 for Evelina London Children's Hospital that saved his life by walking 10km in 30 days in 2020 after being inspired by Captain Sir Tom Moore, who raised more than £33million walking in his backyard. 

After completing his big walk, Tony met the Prince and Princess of Wales who 'spent ages' chatting with the youngster when the couple attended Together At Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey last year.

He has also met Prince Harry along with a string of celebrities. In 2022, he was singled out for his inspiration by former Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Last December, Tony and his mother Paula met the Princess of Wales for the second time at the Day Centre at the Westminster Hospital

Despite the attention, Paula said of Tony: 'He takes all of it in his stride, so to speak. He is just amazing.

'He's very much a people person. He can encapture a room of people and will talk to them all.'

In December, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis posted letters to Tony at their mother's annual Christmas service.

Tony has also inspired a change to English law known as 'Tony's Law', enacted in the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022.

Tony's Law called for increased prison sentences for those convicted of child cruelty and neglect.
