Intent
children
Children are liable for intentional torts if they know with "substantial certainty" that harmful offensive contact would occur.
mentally ill
Just like children, if a mentally ill person can form intent, purposeful or with substantial certainty. Therefore can be liable for intentional torts.
Good faith acts
"Good Faith" is irrelevant since intent element is still fulfilled.
ex: shoot an animal thinking it was a wolf but was someone's dog. intent to kill "that" animal was still there, regardless.
