| John Doe 1 v. Roman Catholic Diocese of Nashville
M2001-01780-COA-R3-CV
This appeal involves claims of intentional infliction of emotional distress through outrageous conduct. John Doe 1, his mother, and John Doe 2 seek to hold the Roman Catholic Diocese of Nashville liable for injuries caused by the alleged outrageous conduct of the Diocese in its dealings with Edward McKeown, a former priest, who sexually molested John Doe 1 and John Doe 2 a number of years after his affiliation with the Diocese ended. The trial court granted the Diocese's summary judgment motion, finding the Does had failed as a matter of law to satisfy the threshold requirements for stating a claim for the tort of outrageous conduct. The plaintiffs appeal that decision. Because we find the summary judgment motion was properly granted, we affirm the trial court.

M2002-02558-COA-R3-CV

| Dept. Children Serv. vs. Ericka Everson
W2002-01085-COA-R3-JV
This case involves the termination of parental rights. The two children lived with their single mother in Arkansas. The mother and children stayed temporarily with the children's grandfather in Arkansas, who sexually abused one of the children. After the grandfather threatened the mother, she and the children went to Tennessee and stayed with the children's grandmother. The mother went back to Arkansas and left the children with the grandmother in Tennessee. The grandmother repeatedly sought medical attention for one of the children. A physician determined that the child was a victim of Manchausen Syndrome by Proxy, a form of child abuse in which the caretaker exaggerates or secretly induces symptoms of illness in the victim and then seeks medical attention for the victim's "illness." Both children were taken into custody by the Tennessee Department of Children's Services. A permanency plan was designed for the children's mother. The mother failed to comply with the permanency plan, provide support for the children, or visit the children on a regular basis. In addition, she abducted the children from foster care and would not protect them from the abusive grandmother. The State filed a petition to terminate the mother's parental rights. The trial court granted the petition, and the mother appeals. We affirm, finding that termination of the mother's parental rights was warranted on several grounds and that termination was in the children's best interest.
