In other words‚ it would be fair to say that Henry’s action was reasonably foreseeable as it was obvious that any sort of torment over an extended period of time would have negative psychological impact on a person. Although Scarlett did not suffer any physical injury‚ the imminent threats she perceived from Henry retriggered
