Bobby Webber was seven months old when his uncle tortured him on the Central Coast in September 2014.
Bobby’s injuries were so horrific that his medical team told his parents to turn off his life support because he would never recover from his trauma, reports Daily Mail.
His devastated parents followed this advice, but against all odds Bobby continued to breathe on his own, and he continued to heal.
The little boy was left at home with his biological aunt’s partner while his parents were on their honeymoon.

In the four hours Bobby’s aunt was gone, his uncle, Andrew Nolan, inflicted multiple skull fractures from blunt force trauma, blood pooling in his eye from being shaken so violently, fractured vertebrae, bruised genitalia and bite marks on little Bobby.
Bobby’s parents were devastated when they switched off life-support, and Bobby’s determination to live is nothing short of miraculous, earning him the name Bobby the Brave.
Bobby’s injuries left him with cerebral palsy but he continues to make progress in his recovery. Sadly, Bobby will endure significant health issues for the rest of his life.
After initially denying the attack, Nolan pleaded guilty on Bobby’s second birthday, and is awaiting sentencing in June.
The family had to move closer to the Nepean Hospital to continue Bobby’s treatment and they care for him full time which impacts them financially. A GoFundMe page has set up to help with the cost of Bobby’s ongoing treatment and to assist with the families expenses. For details go to gofundme.com/bobby-the-brave.
