29. Phil wаs plаying with а friend in the frоnt yard while Phil’s father was inside the hоuse. Jared, a neighbоr who lived across the street, liked to keep expensive flower vases in his front yard as decoration. Phil thought it would be funny to hit his friend in the head with a soccer ball so he kicked one as hard as he could but the ball instead flew over his friend’s head and across the street into Jared’s yard, landing on one of the vases and shattering it. When Jared saw what had happened, he came over to Phil’s house but instead of apologizing, Phil tried to get smart with Jared.  Jared wanted to teach Phil a lesson and said he would kill Phil in his sleep and bury him under one of his vases if he ever did what he did again.  Phil got scared and ran inside and told his father how Jared had threatened him. Phil’s father was so severely disturbed by the threat that he had a serious mental breakdown requiring medical treatment. Can the father recover for emotional distress against Jared?
