London (CNN) 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. 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." Addressing 18-year-old Bravery on Friday, the judgment from Justice Maura McGowan read : "I cannot emphasise too clearly that this is not a 15-year sentence.
