CAUSES OF ACTION

What are the possible causes of action that one can take against the church? Well in the matter of Rob Jr. the Church of the Devine Light was at fault on the 15 years son of Rob and Bunny. Because the organizer of the youth group Tom Marsden was an em ployee of the Church and the church were held responsibility for the youth group. The charges that the boy’s parents could file was for cause of action is negligence, intentional infliction of em otional distress, also false imprisonm ent. Because when he kept misleading the boy and brainw ashing him and didn’t want him to leave to go hom e that was infliction Em otional distress on the child. When the parents had to make An excuse to see the child then that was em otional distress for the child and the parents. It put the child in a state of mind he Didn’t know who to believe according to what I read. When they the church held him against his parents will was false im prisonm ent also. When they kept him at the church and didn’t let his parents see him that was negligence on the part that the

parents didn’t know if he was being taken care of or what. Then when they held him there for a period of six months and they had to make an excuse to see him to give him money for that month That was endangering the welfare of a minor because the parents didn’t know what to expect of the church because of the misrepresentation that had endured. Also when you are in control of a group of people’s children you as an adult are to protect the children from harms way and that every precaution should be took not to endanger that child or children. As for the parents they had every legal right to bring suit against the church. Because the church had exploited the child by putting him in danger by brain washing him and also intentional infliction of em otional distress. Because the child didn’t understand what the church was doing to him. They the church did an enjustm ent against the child. The parents because they trusted the church and they were misleading by the church also. The suit they can file is Intentional Tort from what I read because an intentional tort is described as a civil wrong resulting from an intentional act on the tortfeasor. The unjust enrichm ent was done on the child and his parents by the church. The basis of the cause action was when they the church held him there for a period of six months without the parents perm ission to do so. This is the basis of my paper was written on.
