The new law, called Kamilek's Act, was passed after an 8-year-old child was killed by his stepfather in the southern Polish city of Częstochowa in May 2023.

It stipulates a set of child protection standards, including a government task force to coordinate the policy.

Ada Janiszewska has the details.
