Never heard of childhood dementia before, and apparently many people were like me before watching the video, so I am spreading awareness.
I have never heard of childhood dementia and a quick Google search seems to point only on this website and other sites with exact same wording.
The numbers they give seem impressively high for a disorder that is barely documented on the internet.
The symptoms are basically normal children behavior.
This looks like a scam design to scare parents into buying something.
It might look like this by accident but I would do a lot more research if I were to donate or take their advice.

This genuinely felt like a weird scam to me. I had no idea it existed, but apparently there’s a whole host of childhood conditions that can cause childhood dementia.
That’s very upsetting.

Still kinda sounds like a scam. This particular video I mean. Because I act the same way when I’m high af. Having known people who actually have dementia, this is not how they act.

No idea about this particular girl, but there’s plenty of authentic disorders that can cause childhood dementia:

The donation link is above all of the social media (Facebook, Twitter/X, etc.) ones so the focus seems on bringing in money rather than raising awareness.
Nations used to have functioning government systems that would fund this stuff - not just in children but in adults too. But right-wing parties seem in control of everything lately, thus such children that provide less tangible benefits to society will get triaged in terms of available funding.
