How later courts describe this case
- disallowing recovery for emotional distress because the alleged conduct was not directed at the parents
- explaining that to be extreme and outrageous, conduct must “go beyond all possible bounds of decency, and ... be regarded as atrocious, and utterly intolerable in a civilized community” (citing Restatement (Second) of Torts § 46, cmt. d)
