You work in a group home with a 20-year-old client who is non-verbal and wakes up in the middle of the night, climbs out of bed, walks out of the group home, and then walks down a local highway while cars speed past.

This is disturbing to you as a BCBA. What is the most relevant ethical principle that could be violated in this scenario?
