A mum has shared a photo of one of her two sons murdered by their dad in a horror house fire.
Jack, 12, and Paul, 9, were lured into the attic of their dad's home with the promise of a new train set.
But Claire Throssell's ex husband, Darren Sykes, sprayed the ground floor with petrol and barricaded the boys in the loft.
He blocked the doors with furniture to prevent their escape before setting the house alight killing himself and his youngest son at the scene.
Jack died dive days later in hospital.
Claire, who's 47 and lives in Penistone, South Yorkshire, shared a heartfelt message on Twitter today accompanied by the heartbreaking photo of her eldest son covered in bandages in hospital.
On Twitter, Claire said: "This is the reality of Domestic Abuse and unsafe child contact.
"This gentle boy had the heart and courage of a lion."
The schoolboy had burns across over half of his body but still managed to muster the strength to tell firefighters, 'my dad did this and he did it on purpose' before being rushed to hospital.
Claire also asked the government to 'give children and victims a voice. #childfirstcampaign.'
"Don't let their voices be lost now along with the Domestic Abuse Bill," she added.
The Domestic Abuse Bill is designed to ensure children and women coming forward to make reports of abuse in the home are safeguarded.
This includes preventing abusers from cross-examining victims in the courts.
The Queen granted Prime Minister Boris Johnson a five week suspension of Parliament until mid October on Wednesday but this suspension means the bill will not be moved forward.
Nicki Norman, the acting co-chief executive of Women's Aid, told ELLE UK : 'Survivors cannot wait any longer for critical legal protections.'
Claire, who is now an ambassador for Women's Aid, escaped abusive Darren Sykes after 11 years but the courts demanded five contact hours with the boys' father every week after the split.
His murderous act took 15 minutes.
She told The Sun previously that social services knew Paul, the youngest son, didn't want to see his father.
