Cable Forum - View Single Post - Government contemplates introducing 'Cinderella' law

I heard someone on the radio (an expert presumably?) explaining that, IIRC, the sort of thing covered by the new law would be say a man who forced a child to watch the abuse of his partner. If I understood him correctly, currently any legal action would be limited to that resulting from the assault on the woman not the harm psychological harm done to the child.

Does that make sense?
