Today, dementia is "treated" by siege on freedom. A crime is still punishable by imprisonment. Ignorant, what happens to them, where we put them? It would be fair if he feel treated unjustly? Which of the three (dementia, criminal, ignorant) presents a risk (most likely!) undoubtedly on society? I, being ignorant, I begin to fear for myself, in vain to talk about other people's opinions. Who is the true captive after all, one who stays closed because it represents a "special case" or one who experiences the ignorant one, facing each day with them? Choose to live in a "free world", surrounded by ignorant, or accept that you're "mentally ill" and resign yourself to the cloister?

I don't really get what you're asking, but I guess you're looking for opinions about people who got dementia and people who take care of them right?
Well, in my opinion, an illness in no way can't be treated as a crime. It's a natural thing, it happens just like that, and it can't be cured.
It's perfectly understandable to assume that the other person who takes care people who has dementia is in agony. However, unless he/she is forced to take care of that person, we lose our right to say that he/she is a captive. If he/she thinks of it as an obligation, there is hardly any crime there, which is to say there is no victim there, but people in agony.
