Who are Jonty Bravery’s parents?
JONTY Bravery, the teen who has been jailed for 15 years for hurling a boy from the Tate Modern's 10th floor, had been living with two carers prior to the horrific attack.
While being cared for in the community, he had "chucked stuff out of the window", including "rubbish and poo", according to a neighbour.
Who are Jonty Bravery's parents?
Jonty Bravery has admitted throwing a French boy, six, 100ft from the tourist attraction's viewing platform on August 4, 2019.
He had reportedly told carers he wanted to throw someone off a high building a year earlier.
A court heard in December that the teen suffered from autistic spectrum disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder and a probable personality disorder.
Jonty's dad is Piers Bravery, 53, the company director of a printing firm, according to Companies House records.
His mum is a former air hostess, reports the .
It adds that when Jonty - born in West London - was three, his parents parted and have new families.
As a youngster, he was taught at several special needs schools, but envied the more "normal" lives of his relatives.
The Mail says that his father raised funds for a special needs centre, which he described as "incredibly caring and understanding to my son Jonty".
The Press Association reports that, in a series of social media posts - since deleted - Piers tried to raise awareness of autism and its treatment.
In one tweet to Health Secretary Matt Hancock, posted less than three months before the incident, he said: “Yes, @MattHancock, you do have a duty.
"You are a public servant so do your job and stop more children dying and being abused in these repugnant institutions.”
His son was sectioned in 2017, under the Mental Health Act, and removed from his home.
Some time later, he was living in a residential flat in Northolt, London.
West London NHS Trust told that Jonty had been placed under the responsibility of Hammersmith and Fulham council.
However, a council spokeswoman said the authority had only "contributed" to his care package and the trust made the decision he should be cared for in the community.
A neighbour, who asked not to be named, told The Times that Jonty was living "with two carers. They come in shifts. He has to go with somebody when he goes out",
Another neighbour added that Jonty had been seen "chucking stuff out of the window on to the grass [including] rubbish [and] faeces."
Defence counsel Philippa McAtasney told the Old Bailey that Bravery's parent's "abhor" what he did at the Tate Modern, and cannot forgive him, but feel "let down by the system".
A Hammersmith & Fulham Council spokesman said a serious case review was under way, and the authority was co-operating fully and would learn from its findings.

What has happened to Jonty Bravery?
The mentally ill and violent Bravery has been told he "may never be released" from prison.
He was jailed for 15 years at the Old Bailey on June 26, after admitting attempted murder.
Judge Mrs Justice McGowan said: "The fear he (the victim) must have experienced and the horror his parents felt are beyond imagination.
"You had intended to kill someone that day - you almost killed that six-year-old boy."
She said Bravery's autism spectrum disorder (ASD) did not explain the attack, and acknowledged expert evidence he presents "a grave and immediate risk to the public".
The judge added: "You will spend the greater part - if not all - of your life detained ... you may never be released."
He has been in custody at Broadmoor Hospital, a high-security psychiatric hospital at Crowthorne, Berkshire, since mid-October 2019.
