While the immediate arrest was necessary for public safety, we should also consider the circumstances that led to the client's aggressive behavior. There might be underlying issues that need addressing.

The legal process is clearly moving forward, which is proper for such a serious threat. Yet, it makes you wonder about the support systems in place for both caregivers and vulnerable clients, as prevention is key.
