Jonty Bravery was 17 when he threw a 6-year-old boy from the 10th-floor balcony of Tate Modern in London.

A London judge has handed down a sentence of at least 15 years in prison to a teenager who threw a young French boy from a viewing platform at the Tate Modern art gallery last summer, telling him "you may never be released."

The boy, a tourist who was 6 at the time, was hospitalized with "catastrophic injuries" following the incident on August 4, which took place on the 10th floor of the museum.

Jonty Bravery, of West London, admitted one count of attempted murder at London's Old Bailey court in December, saying he threw the child from a balcony of the Thames-side tourist attraction in August with the intention of killing him so he could be on the news.

The boy survived but suffered life-changing injuries as a result of falling five floors from a 10th-floor viewing platform, including a bleed to his brain and a number of fractured bones. In a statement read out on Friday, the boy's parents said he is still in a wheelchair, with "many years of physical therapy ahead of him."

This animal deserves to be put down.

The only option here is death by flaying.

no place in society for psychopaths who want to kill people just to be on the news, it's not even about being "good" or "bad", this dude's mentally unfit to be with other people

This man is a true monster. The shade around the motive is what I don't like. I'm sure he had truly evil intent.

I can see why he wanted to be on camera, that's a sweet unibrow. He's going to make a fine prison bitch.

Its like sometimes I think I am against the death penalty but then a story like this happens.

What a piece of shit

Terrible and very upsetting. But I don't understand why you've described a 6 year old as a baby.

Is this one of those cases like after 15 years the courts can still say "nope" and keep him in there or is he out? If he's free, then we more than likely see him do something heinous again and the same people who released him would go "how could we ever have seen this coming?"

The article said a minimum of 15 years before they even look at him again but he may never be released.

Your topic title doesnt match your much less sensationalist article.

Was this one of the incidents that a specific grouping of CE users automatically assumed was "terrorism"
