Tate Modern Balcony Fall Boy Makes 'Backward Step' in Recovery
His family says rehabilitation has become longer and harder after January surgery, and he remains unable to walk while hospitalised in a rehabilitation centre.
- On Tuesday, the family of the French boy thrown from the Tate Modern balcony in 2019 posted a GoFundMe update saying his rehabilitation is "proving longer and more difficult than expected" following January surgery.
- Jonty Bravery, then 17, threw the six-year-old from the 10th-storey balcony in August 2019, causing a 100ft fall that resulted in life-changing injuries including a brain haemorrhage and broken bones.
- Currently 24, Bravery is serving a life sentence with a 15-year minimum term for the attempted murder; he was jailed for 16 weeks earlier this year for assaulting nurses at Broadmoor psychiatric hospital.
- The youngster remains in a rehabilitation centre and is "still unable to walk," with the family describing weekend leave in a wheelchair as a "sad step backward."
- Despite these setbacks, the family revealed they have "finally" discovered a school "perfectly suited to his needs," which the boy visited before his recent surgery, offering hope for his future.
