 Margaret Ann Cummings has campaigned since her son's death |
A mother's plea for a review of the way convicted sex offenders are dealt with could be heard by an ad-hoc committee of MSPs. Margaret Ann Cummings wants parents and carers to be told how many registered sex offenders live in their area.
Her eight-year-old son Mark was killed two years ago by convicted sex offender Stuart Leggate in Glasgow.
The Justice 2 Committee is to consult with other committee MSPs on how to deal with the issue.
Leggate, 28, was sentenced to a minimum 20 years imprisonment.
"Mark's Law" also calls for special courts to deal with paedophiles and asks for a review of where sex offenders are housed.
MSPs on the Justice 2 Committee considered the proposals on Tuesday.
