Question presented

Due to his intellectual disabilities, Jeffrey Liberto was banned from his volunteering position at Geisinger Hospital, without explanation, and prevented from obtaining employment. Jeffrey Liberto was then forced to watch Geisinger Hospital upper management inflict cruel and unusual punishment on his mother while informing him of why they had banned him from his volunteering position one week earlier. Did Geisinger Hospital upper management discriminate, harass, and inflict cruel and unusual punishment on Jeffrey Liberto in violation of Title VII and the VIII Amendment? Did Geisinger Hospital use Jeffrey Liberto, Luisa’s son, as a means to harass and psychologically inflict cruel and unusual punishment on Luisa Liberto? Luisa Liberto was sought out (targeted) by Geisinger Hospital, interviewed by a regular employee for a position that had never been posted, and hired four months later when the position was finally posted. She was then subjected to discrimination, harassment, abuse, blackballing, and cruel and unusual punishment before being wrongfully teiminated.. Did Geisinger Hospital use targeting, discrimination, harassment, blackballing, abuse, and wrongful termination to inflict cruel and unusual punishment on Luisa Liberto in violation of Title VII and the VIII Amendment? Did Geisinger Hospital violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, of 1964 & 1990, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. s2000e (ADA) 42 U.S.C. 12101; and the XIII Amendment of the Constitution by inflicting all the above-mentioned acts on Petitioners? u
