The family of a 15-year-old boy had severe brain damaged after the Tombston of a Pier aan Zee considering legal steps against a care team that reportedly left him 'deception'.
They claim that Jack Dolan's remarkable recovery is crashed and hindered by Medway Council and Medway Community Healthcare in Kent.
Nine months ago, the teenager BraineTead was left behind after the horrible accident in Margate that should have killed him.
Instead, he was able to talk, laugh, flirt with nurses and respond to jokes and see amazing signs of recovery in the first few months.
But his family fears that he will not make any further progress because of what they claim that he has been poor care since he returned home in January.
They turn to private treatment, including specialized hyperbaric oxygen therapy, to help him recover.
His stepfather Dave Dolan said: 'It's heartbreaking. There is not nearly enough help.
“It's terrible. They don't help him enough. The Community Care team leaves him at bed-rot.

'We are realistic but have always been hopeful. The recovery has been great. There is no reason why I can't have that pint with him if he turns 18.
“He did so well. That progress is now stagnated. That is due to a lack of help from the council. He should start his GCSEs and do the paperwork for the Royal Marines.
'Instead, he learns to walk and talk again. Well, he's not because he doesn't get the help he needs.
“We consider legal steps. It's not right. It's terrible.
'Their care is horrible. If there was a risk for life, there would be much more.
“We are realistic. There will always be a level of handicap. But the next 18 months are crucial. It can change everything.
“With the right help we think he could walk and talk in his twenties.”

His family credit hyperbaric oxygen therapy for recent progress. This includes inhaling pure oxygen in a room under pressure to increase the oxygen levels in the blood and tissues, which promotes healing.
They have paid thousands of pounds for private life, financed by donations and believe that it will continue to transform the teenager's life.

Dave added: 'Thank goodness for oxygen therapy. It was a huge help. '
The family cannot get it on the NHS because of the high costs.
Jack's progress is recorded on a Tiktok page that the family has set up that has been viewed from people around the world millions of times.
It has also contributed to stimulating fundraising for oxygen treatment.
Jack spends his weekdays in a rehabilitation facility where he receives specialist care.

He then returns home at the weekend to be with family and friends. The teenager enjoyed a day out with friends on Sunday, June 23, when he threw himself from Stone Pier in Margate – first landed on the water.
Jack, a student at the Howard School in Medway, was on the day with four or five friends and his girlfriend.
His parents had never let him go to the beach without them because he has ADHD and was known for acting before he thought.
He was eliminated when he landed on the water and initially drove down.
His friends initially thought he was kidding because they could see air bubbles coming out of his mouth.
Jack then dropped and was under water for about eight minutes before he was saved by a kayaker who dived to get him.
He had performed the flip dozens of times before, most recently on holiday in Egypt in September, where video images laughed at him and throw himself from the side of a jetty.

A spokesperson for the Medway Council said: 'After we have been informed of the problems, we contacted Jack's mother to understand the concerns of the family. Jack's social care plan was drawn up in January and will be assessed later this month, but we will put this assessment forward to ensure the correct level of support for social care.
“We will also arrange a multidisciplinary meeting with partner agencies to discuss the broader support that may be needed in addition to social care.” Tracy Webb, assistant director, children's and planned services at Medway Community Healthcare, stated: 'We regularly give agreements for Jack Dolan on the basis of his clinical needs.
'These meet national guidance and advice on recovery and continuous care after a serious brain injury. Together with our colleagues from Medway Council we work to make this care and support as consistent, patient -oriented and flexible as possible.
'We are already in communication with the Dolan family about the care of Jack and the concern; And will continue to work with them to find the best solution for Jack. '
