The family of a young boy who received life-threatening wounds after being thrown from the 10th floor of the art gallery have announced their "courageous fighter" has reached his objective of being able to swim, run, and jump anew.

The French child was six when he was pushed off a balcony by a teenager, previously seventeen.

The boy, who was on holiday with his parents in the summer of 2019 when assaulted, survived a 30-meter fall but received life-changing injuries, such as a brain hemorrhage and broken bones.

Parents said in an news on a donation site, they were pleased that he had been successful to advance with his running, jumping and swimming before his upcoming procedure.

"He is unable to perform as youngsters at his age, naturally, but we are unable to describe his movements in different terms than by calling it's swimming, running, and jumping."

"It varies, just for a few meters or a low level, but it's an remarkable achievement."

The boy, who endured many months in ICU, has persisted to develop brain resilience.

His family said although his recall abilities were yet highly constrained, they were functional and advancing, so he was "acquiring a general knowledge at his speed, which progressively permits him to be included with peers."

'Mission Accomplished'

The family continued: "He's also growing up, and thanks to his therapy with the psychomotor therapist, he currently allows himself to rest."

"Earlier, to counteract his weakness on the left part, he maintained his right part always rigid, which resulted in suffering."

"Currently, our growing child (we must face the facts, he's no longer a child anymore) has realized that he must to give himself pauses; we need to tell him less often."

He has also reached a long-held objective with dad: "As we dwell a short distance from the ocean, they had established their end target of enjoying a outdoor meal at the seaside and then returning."

"Subsequent to a number of progressive preparation efforts, they finally achieved their 150-minute journey. They came back exhausted but overjoyed. Mission accomplished."

Subsequent to a trial at the central criminal court, the teenager was convicted of murder attempt and was jailed in 2020 for at least fifteen years.
