Mr. Thelaw’s conduct would likely be considered extreme and outrageous when he manipulated Ms. Smartpants emotions in front of the class. Courts have reasoned that a defendant cannot deliberately attempt to manipulate the emotions of a plaintiff, for a perceived advantage over a plaintiff who is susceptible to emotional distress. KOVR-TV, Inc., 37 Cal. Rptr. 2d at 435; McDaniel, 281 Cal. Rptr. 246. In KOVR-TV, a news anchor informed children under the age of 12 about their neighbor killing their three children, who were friends of the plaintiffs, to elicit emotions for “newsworthy” broadcast journalism. KOVR-TV, Inc., 37 Cal. Rptr. 2d at 432-33. The court in this case found that behavior to be extreme, as the defendant should have known that …show more content…
Thelaw, has similar authority as he can pass or fail Ms. Smartpants affecting her course grade at the school. See Id. at 373. ; see also Yurick, 257 Cal. Rptr. at 672-71. Similar to McDaniel, where the lawyer failed to provide adequate legal services to the plaintiff, which in turn affected the plaintiff’s interest, Mr. Thelaw threatening to fail Ms. Smartpants based on her class participation affects her interest at school. McDaniel, 281 Cal. Rptr. 3d at 373. Therefore, Mr. Thelaw’s conduct would likely be considered an abuse of authority. Id. at 373. Unlike Yurick, where the employee could not pinpoint exact circumstances where the Supervisor’s conduct had an impact on the employee’s work interest, Ms. Smartpants is able to pinpoint exact circumstances that show Mr. Thelaw’s ability to affect her interest at school. See Yurick, 257 Cal. Rptr. at 672. Mr. Thelaw called Ms. Smartpants on her home phone threating to flunk her for lack of class participation, thus directly impacting her interest at school through her grade and advancement through law school. See Id. at …show more content…
Thelaw has on several occasions made insulting comments in front of the class when Ms. Smartpants answered questions. See Id. at 671. The employee in Yurick stated that the Supervisors negative comments were not as bad as what he would normally say as opposed to Ms. Smartpants who has identified specific negative comments about her age and her inability to answer questions correctly in front of the class. See Id. at 672. Therefore, Mr. Thelaw’s behavior would likely be considered offensive. See Id. at 670. Since Mr. Thelaw does not react the same way toward other students who respond to his questions in class, one could conclude that the language he uses toward Ms. Smartpants is not indicative of his normal classroom behavior, contrasting to Yurick, where the court concluded that the Supervisors’ language was considered normal to the work environment. See Id. at 671-672. Thus, Mr. Thelaw’s behavior would likely be considered extreme and outrageous. See Id. at
In KOVR-TV, the children were subjected to the media bombarding them and revealing sensitive information. The three children, all under twelve and without adult supervision, were “interrogated” by Saxenmyer. (Id. at 432) Saxenmeyer, then, informed three kids that Mrs. Weber murdered the Weber children. He does not stop there; he went on to tell the children that the mother committed suicide. (Id. at 433).
1. According to the case law of Illinois v Allen, the US supreme court held that “trial judges confronted with disruptive, contumacious, and stubbornly defiant defendant must be given sufficient discretion to meet the circumstances of each case. The court further observed that at least three constitutionally acceptable avenues exist for dealing with a defiant defendant, in the case of Ms. Roberts she was a very defiant defendant. The avenues are 1.
The issue is whether M. Bega’s conduct was outrageous and intolerable. This element is satisfied when the outrageousness requirement "is aimed at limiting frivolous suits and avoiding litigation in situations where only bad manners and mere hurt feelings are involved." Id. "It is insufficient for a defendant to have acted with an intent which is tortious or even criminal." Russo v. White 241 Va. 23. Rather, "liability has been found only where the conduct has been so outrageous in character, and so extreme in degree, as to go beyond all possible bounds of decency, and to be regarded as atrocious, and utterly intolerable in a civilized community."

MILLERSBURG — Despite a plea for leniency expressed by the victim, a Sugarcreek man was unable to overcome a long history of criminal convictions and a bond violation when a Holmes County judge on Wednesday sentenced him to prison for making unwanted phone calls and threats to several members of a family over a period of months. David Lamar Schrock, 43, of 2578 State Route 39, previously pleaded guilty in Holmes County Common Pleas Court to two counts of telephone harassment and one count of menacing by stalking. In exchange for his guilty plea, the state agreed to dismiss two additional counts of telephone harassment and three counts of menacing by stalking. The charges are made more serious because Schrock was convicted, in January 2016,
B. Kraus’ “conduct” grabbing Hardy by the arm will not be dismissed as a de minimis infraction The second issue is whether Kraus’ “conduct” was of a too trivial nature to warrant conviction. Kraus’ grabbing Hardy, pulling him around to face her, and digging her fingers into his bicep are not considered “too trivial” to be dismissed as a de minimis infraction. In New Jersey, there is a possibility that conduct “too trivial to warrant the condemnation of conviction” may be dismissed as a de minimis infraction under NJ Rev Stat § 2C:2-11 (2013).

McMartin told his attorney that he did not do it and his attorney used his discretion and believed him.
It was required that the student's parents be informed of the suspension within 24 hours with given reason. If the student were expelled, they would allowed to appeal to the Board of Education.

The plaintiff is not estopped by her SSDI and long term disability claims. However, the issue should have been decided by the jury. The court foreclosed to grant the plaintiff was not a qualified individual.
