NEW YORK — It was any mother's worst nightmare. In April 2019, Kari Hoffmann witnessed a man toss her 5-year-old son over a third-floor balcony while shopping at a mall. As a result, her son suffered multiple life-threatening injuries including broken arms, a broken leg and skull fractures.
Three-and-a-half years later, after her son made a miraculous recovery, Hoffmann decided she was ready to share her story and spoke first to ABC News'"I was frozen in time until I was able to speak, and now is the time that is right in our lives where we've done a lotta healing, where it's time to move forward with the story of the miracle of Landen," said Hoffmann.
"I don't even remember running down the escalators, but I was screaming the whole time, 'No, Landen's not gonna die,'" she added."I don't care who was looking. If they were looking, I asked them to pray," she said."He's got a heartbeat. He was breathing. We got in the ambulance, and right before they shut the door, he opened his eyes for a second.
Landen was in the hospital for four months. Hoffmann said she would journal to keep track of her son's recovery. She said he made it just in time to attend the first day of kindergarten that year, only five days after he was released from the hospital. Despite the triumph, Landen at first struggled with some behavioral issues, but has since re-learned"to follow the rules."
Last year, the Hoffmanns filed a lawsuit through their attorney Mark Briol against the Mall of America, claiming that the mall security should have prevented Aranda from entering the building. The lawsuit sought unspecified damages for Landen's medical expenses.
