I work in the legal field in Chelan County.

I am not involved in the Decker case. But I've been in those courtrooms. While I have no big complaints, and have largely been able to ultimately get good, protective outcomes, including my cases where there is domestic violence, I do have to fight and sometimes take multiple approaches and attempts to secure safety for my client and the children.

This was a tragic situation that may or may not have been foreseeable. I'm not looking through the court pleadings for any answers. I just know that it reinforces my commitment to advocacy and diligence, even when I know the Court is getting impatient with my persistence. I don't file frivolously, but I trust my clients when they share with me their experiences and concerns, and we do the best we can to protect the vulnerable children involved.

The community is shattered and fearful, heartbroken and lost. He is still thought to be on the run in the area.

Anyway..just my 2 cents.
