Depending on where you live, this may well result in the vulnerable person being placed under professional supervision that actively prevents them from dying.

That's a fair bit more valuable than when you describe it as raising a flag.

Yeah... I have been in a locked psychiatric ward many times before and never in my life I came out better. They only address the physical part there for a few days and kick you out until next time. Or do you think people should be physically restrained for a long time without any actual help?
