A French boy who was thrown from the roof of Britain’s Tate Modern aged 6 can now stand unaided, his family has revealed. He plunged more than 30 metres after he was thrown off the art gallery’s 10th-floor viewing platform by teenager Jonty Bravery on August 4 last year. The child, who was on holiday in London with his parents, landed on another roof but suffered life-changing injuries. Now aged 7, he is recovering in a French rehabilitation clinic. “He can at last stand on his legs without any help or support,” his parents said. “Still, and only a few moments, because he still has not regained his balance in walking, but we are so happy to see him like that!” “Regarding food, he now eats almost alone (after everything has been cut out and prepared for him) and, in a suitable glass, he begins to drink slightly thickened liquids! It’s a very important progress.” Last month the boy made his first trip home since being injured and went on holiday to the seaside. He now spends weekdays at the clinic and weekends at home with his family. Bravery, who was 17 at the time of the incident, told police he had planned to hurt someone at the museum to be on television. He had researched how to kill people on the internet the previous day, and before the incident he had asked a member of the public the location of a tall building. Witnesses heard the victim’s mother screaming “Where’s my son? Where’s my son?” after the attack. Bravery, who has autistic spectrum disorder and a personality disorder, was seen smiling and laughing as he held the boy over the balcony. He was sentenced to at least 15 years’ detention in June after pleading guilty to attempted murder and is now being held at the high-security Broadmoor Hospital.
