The boy thrown 100 feet from the Tate Modern is now able to walk again, his parents say.
Then aged just six, the youngster was thrown from the Tate’s viewing platform in a random attack by evil Jonty Bravery in August 2019.
It left him with life-changing injuries and needing round-the-clock care. But in an update to wellwishers, his parents say their “little knight” is able to walk again and has begun singing.
“Despite everything, he continues to make efforts and progress: he begins to walk with a tetrapod cane while we hold him by the back of the coat for balance,” said his parents, who are from France.
“He also has less pain, so the doctors were able to lower his medication. He tries to do more and more things with his left arm like holding his tube of toothpaste or his glasses case to close it.
“He continues to recover his breath. He still speaks very slowly, but now speaks word by word and no longer syllable by syllable.”
Because of coronavirus, the boy is no longer allowed to go home from hospital at weekends, and is also struggling with his memory more than a year on from the fall.
“He no longer remembers what he did that day or what day it is,” said the parents.
Bravery was jailed for at least fifteen years for attempted murder this year, with a court hearing he had committed the crime because he wanted to be on TV.
A fundraiser for the victim to pay for the costs of his care was set up by well-wishers, and has to date raised more than £260,000.
