Tate Modern Boy's Recovery Hits Setback
15 Apr
Summary
- Young victim of Tate Modern attack faces prolonged hospital stay.
- Child unable to walk, requiring wheelchair for weekend leave.
- Family expresses frustration as rehabilitation proves difficult.
The family of a boy critically injured in the 2019 Tate Modern incident has announced a setback in his recovery. The child, who was six years old when he was thrown from the gallery's tenth floor, is still hospitalized and unable to walk.
Recent surgery in January has led to a more difficult and prolonged rehabilitation process than anticipated. The boy can only take weekend leave in a wheelchair, a situation his family describes as a 'sad step backward' for the determined youngster.
Prior to his surgery, the boy had settled into a new school that was perfectly suited to his needs, accommodating his fatigue and treatment schedule. He had made new friends who eagerly await his return.
