Mom is Suing Target Over Son's Wrongful Death

     Graham Gentles, a 22-year-old from California committed suicide by jumping off of a hotel roof just three days after his termination from Target. Gentles had Asperger's Syndrome and was "hyper focused" on the loss of his job, which caused him to be very depressed. His mother is outraged because when he was being fired he was subject to the alleged Target policy of punishment, the "walk of shame." This is when he was handcuffed when he came into work, on time I might add, and taken to the back of the store with a police officer. He had no idea what he had done wrong and was later taken to the police station. He was later released and not charged with anything; however, he was emotionally harmed. He was punished for an argument that happened outside of work at a bar. Target denies any such policy and sends their condolences to the family. Gentles was completely devastated over the loss of his job and embarrassed. He claimed that it was the "worst day of his life." What I do not understand is that there cannot be any way that they can punish an employee for something that happens outside of work, as well as the fact that he is not emotionally stable and the management at Target humiliated him publicly.
