A boy thrown from the viewing balcony in the Tate Modern art gallery has a \u201csmile back on his face\u201d after being discharged from hospital, his family have said.<\/p>\n
The French youngster was six when he was badly hurt in an attack by then-teenager Jonty Bravery at the London attraction in 2019.<\/p>\n
The child, who was on holiday with his parents, survived a 100ft (30-metre) fall but suffered life-changing injuries, including a bleed on the brain and multiple broken bones.<\/p>\n
Almost seven years on from the incident, his family, who call him \u201cnotre petit chevalier\u201d \u2013 our little knight \u2013 reported via an update on a GoFundMe page that he was able to return to school briefly before the summer holidays.<\/p>\n
They said: \u201cWe wanted to let you know that our little knight has finally left the hospital!<\/p>\n
\u201cHis hospital stay was kept as short as possible because, despite our daily presence and encouragement, our son was becoming deeply disheartened and kept asking when he could go back to class and see his friends.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a great joy for him to return to school shortly before the summer holidays; since the lessons were well-tailored to his needs and challenges, he was able to start learning again, and reuniting with his teachers and classmates put a smile back on his face.\u201d<\/p>\n
In April this year, his family reported that his recovery had taken a \u201csad step backwards\u201d, but this newest message appeared to be a lot more positive.<\/p>\n
