Willful and wanton conduct means a course of action that shows an actual or deliberate intention to cause harm or that, if not intentional, shows an utter indifference to, or conscious disregard for, the safety of others or their property. 745 ILCS 10/1-210 (West 2008). Utter indifference to, or conscious disregard for, the safety of others consists of more than mere inadvertence, incompetence, or unskillfulness. Geimer v. Chicago Park District, 272 Ill. App. 3d 629, 637 (1995). As is at issue in this case, an omission or failure to act against a known danger may substantiate a claim of utter indifference or conscious disregard. See Doe, 213 Ill. 2d at 28 (the failure to take action to protect other students against a harmful student could constitute willful and wanton conduct). One must consider the totality of the circumstances in deciding whether a defendant acted with utter indifference or conscious disregard. Harris, 2012 IL 112525, ¶ 45.
