Re: Babysitter's abuse?

If this is a real situation, you don't need to know the "elements" of "intentional torts." You need to consult with a lawyer immediately.

If this is a law school exam question or the like (which it sounds like from how you phrase it, and if it is not, I apologize, and refer you to the above), you should answer it yourself rather than asking the lawyers here on this site.
