In the case of Brandon Williams, a CPS worker spent a month searching
for the autistic boy and his mother, Diane Marsh. But when the worker
found the two outside their North Side home in October, she never left
her car. She did call the Pima County Sheriff's Department and asked
Marsh through her car window to stop.

Unless I'm mistaken it would be a very bad move, and dangerous to a
child for a single worker to attempt to physically arrest the progress
of someone NOT a perp.

So she called for police backup.

To NOT have done so could have cost lives...not just her's, as folks
that do desperate things, as this mother did, can well be armed, or
have others in the vicinity that would attempt to help her in escaping
the worker.

Tell you what, next time there is one of these cases, send Greg, and
Dennis. Now there's a team that would be happy to tackle a mother.
