Hedges was nearly killed by a shopping cart while buying candy for needy children at the East River Plaza mall in Harlem.

"He’s finally going to get help...I thank God for that," the boy's mother reportedly sobbed after the sentencing.

The tweens were given slaps on the wrist, largely because Hedges said she "bears no ill will" to them. But her husband does bear some ill will to the shopping center where the incident occurred.

The two boys who nearly killed real estate broker Marion Salmon Hedges last year just before Halloween with a tossed shopping cart may get off without a stop in jail.

The second boy who tossed a cart four stories, landing on a woman and sending her into a medically induced coma, pleaded guilty.
