2011Ass’n v. City of Hialeah, 468 So.2d 912 (Fla.1985)).

1995Turning to the element of duty, the court in Trianon noted "the general common law rule that there is no duty to prevent the misconduct of a third person," referring to the Restatement (Second) of Torts § 315 (1964), which provides: "There is no duty so to control the conduct of a third person as to prevent him from causing physical harm to another unless (a) a special relation exists between the actor and the third person which imposes a duty upon the actor to control the third person's conduct, or (b) a special relation exists between the actor and the other which gives to the other a right

California, 355 U.S. 225 , 78 S.Ct. 240 , 2 L.Ed.2d 228 (1957), the court found that a statute which required severe criminal sanctions for failing to register would violate the due process clause unless it contained, at a minimum, a requirement that the State prove "`actual knowledge of the duty to register or proof of the probability of such knowledge and subsequent failure to comply . . . before a conviction . . . can stand
