If the person is a minor he or she would need to obtain the assistance of the state's social service agency that has jurisdiction. If the person is an adult, he or she could be evaluated by a psychologist or psychiatrist. Please be advised, that under the circumstances given, it is highly unlikely that the person would be successful in a civil suit or other legal action unless there is substantiated proof that there was deliberate intent to do harm by the parties involved.

Can you sue the newspaper for malicious intent or emotional distress?

Yes but it is extremely difficult to prove libel because you have to prove actual malice was intended and that the newspaper knew the information was false but continued to publish it. Barely anyone wins libel cases because of the extremely high burden of proof on the plaintiff. A really interesting Supreme Court case in which many of the guidelines for libel and slander cases is New York Times v Sullivan... you may want to look it up.
