Saw an escape attempt from a "locked ward" type aged care facility today.

It appeared that a resident, perhaps early 70s, was leaving the facility with their younger family members to go on an excursion.

Immediately they were out the final gate, the resident took off running.

But their younger and stronger relative, in his 50s perhaps, gave chase and wrapped the escapee in his arms only 50 metres from the gate.

What are you doing with your freedom?
