'Cinderella Law' to stop emotional abuse of children: Parents who fail to show love could face prison

Daily Mail | March 30, 2014

Parents who deprive their children of love and kindness could be jailed for up to ten years under a proposed new law. Changes to child neglect legislation would make ‘emotional cruelty’ a crime for the first time under what is being dubbed a ‘Cinderella Law’. avid Cameron vowed there is 'nothing more important than the protection of children.'

The new law would make it a crime to deliberately harm a child’s ‘intellectual, emotional, social or behavioral development’ and sits alongside the physical or sexual abuse of children.

Those found guilty would face up to ten years in jail. The change will update existing laws in England and Wales.

Currently, adults responsible for a child can only be prosecuted if they have deliberately assaulted, abandoned or exposed a youngster to suffering or injury to their health.
