ATLANTA — In early January, workers at a nonprofit that cares for disabled Georgians were stunned to learn that one of their former clients was killed in a suspected murder-suicide.
It wasn’t just that police believe Megan Frix, 26, was killed by her father. But she was the second client of Creative Enterprises Forsyth whose death was possibly caused by a family caregiver.
Even though such homicides are rare, Creative Enterprises staff point to these deaths as the worst possible outcome of a system that’s overstrained and underresourced. In particular, they question whether providing occasional 24-hour care for people with disabilities could have prevented the tragedies.
