SHEPARD, Chief Justice,
concurring in result.
Had the Delaware Circuit Court's petition for review been timely, I would have voted to uphold its position on the merits. Even after regular treatment for her bi-polar disorder, Debra Salais so physically assaulted a young detainee that her actions led to an apparent suicide attempt. Confronted with this danger to Hoosier children under the court's protection, Judge Caldemeyer correctly chose to place their safety ahead of Salais' desire to hold on to her job. I regret that the Indiana Civil Rights Commission has opted to make the opposite choice.
