Question:

Blaylock was a voluntary psychiatric outpatient treated by Dr. Burglass, who became aware that Blaylock was violence prone. Blaylock told Dr. Burglass that he intended to do serious harm to Wayne Boynton, Jr., and shortly thereafter he killed Wayne. Wayne’s parents then sued Dr. Burglass on grounds that he was liable for the death of their son because he failed to give warning or to notify the police of Blaylock’s threat and nature. Was a duty breached here? Should Dr. Burglass be held liable? [Boynton v Burglass, 590 So2d 446 (Fla App)]
