I just watched a news show on NHK saying they have about 18,000 cases of ppl with dementia wandering off every year in japan. And that number going up every year.
Well shit. That’s… That’s legit dangerous. Japan could honestly use an influx of elderly care workers, I hope they realize that before it’s too late. I know immigration isn’t any more popular in most countries than in the US, but that is scary.
Anyone who loses a loved one to Dementia has my condolences. I count myself very lucky that it doesn’t run in either side of my family, the thought of my dad or mom being in mental anguish and confusion terrifies me.

So, of those 18K cases, most ppl are found quickly. They said only about 300 per year stay lost. For those families, reach, very serious / sad.
