Landen Hoffman, of Woodbury, is the “sweetest kindest” 5-year-old boy you’ll ever meet. Tragically, about four months ago on April 12, he was randomly hauled off the third floor balcony of the Mall of America by a malicious stranger. The boy miraculously survived the nearly 40-foot fall, and on Friday, his family announced a piece of good news.

The boy has moved out of intensive care to begin his next phase of recovery, his family revealed in an update posted on GoFundMe on Friday Aug. 2.
