Reply to comment by Traditional_Ad9764 in TIL about childhood dementia. It is a result of progressive brain damage and can be caused by over 70 rare genetic disorders. 700,000 children are estimated to be living with some form of childhood dementia today. 48,300 children die from childhood dementia each year. by GremlinBandit

I concur. As someone with a parent with early stage dementia it’s very hard to cope with. It’s easier to accept for someone that has lived a fair amount of their life, but for a child jeez what a terrible thing.
