Channel 4 News aired an exclusive report, produced by Cathy Newman and Claire Sinka, highlighting a concerning legal loophole that allows individuals convicted of sexually abusing their children to maintain parental responsibility. The report features insights from the London Victims' Commissioner, who has been advocating for the government to urgently amend the law through the extension of #JadesLaw in the Victims' Bill. This legal gap has been criticized for its potential to expose children to further harm by their abusive parents.
