More than three years after a boy was thrown over a balcony at the Mall of America in Minnesota, the child’s family has reached a settlement with the mall
, the family’s attorneys said. The 5-year-old, publicly identified only as Landen, was standing with his mother outside the third-floor Rain Forest Café on April 12, 2019, when a man approached the pair, picked up the boy and threw him over the railing, according to a criminal complaint. Landen fell about 40 feet to the first level.
The suit claimed Landen’s medical bills were more than $1.75 million. The family and the mall reached a “confidential settlement” of the suit, and the two parties agreed to make changes to the mall’s trespass policies to limit the entrance of “violent criminals,” a statement from the family’s attorneys, Briol & Benson, PLLC, said. The family asked that any policy changes be named in honor of the child.
