00:00The child, who was on holiday with his parents, survived a 100-foot fall but suffered life-changing injuries, including
00:08a bleed on the brain and multiple broken bones.
00:12His family, who call him Our Little Knight, said in an update posted on a GoFundMe page on Tuesday that
00:20the youngster's rehabilitation is proving longer and more difficult than expected.
00:26They said he is still hospitalised in a rehabilitation centre because he is still unable to walk and has only
00:33been able to have weekend leave for the past three weeks in a wheelchair, which, according to the family, frustrates
00:40him greatly.
00:41In their last update in October, the family described how the boy achieved his long-set goal of being able
00:48to run, jump and swim again.
00:50Twenty-four-year-old John T. Bravery, who was autistic, was in supported accommodation at the time of the attack
00:57but allowed out unsupervised.
00:59A court was later told that he had intended to select and kill someone.
01:04Bravery, who was 17 at the time, pleaded guilty to attempted murder and was handed a life sentence with a
01:10minimum term of 15 years.
01:12He was back in court earlier this year as he was jailed for 16 weeks after he was found guilty
01:20of assaulting two nurses at Broadmoor, a high-security psychiatric hospital in Berkshire, in September of 2024.
