The little boy who was thrown from a third floor balcony at the Mall of America has returned to his family's home.

Via a GoFundMe Page, the boy known as Landen completed inpatient rehab and will continue outpatient rehab. The family expects Landen will return to school as well.

Landen was attacked while at the mall with his family on April 12. His attacker, Emmanuel Aranda, 24, was sentenced in June to 19 years in prison and chose Landen at random. He's appealing that sentence.

Landen's family posted about Landen's return home saying, "We are so thankful, and we rejoice in the Lord's blessings."
