If an adult was 'found' with no memory of themselves or who they are and the police were unable to identify them, and no one stepped forward to claim them, would they be 'let go' or would they be commited? This is assuming the they had all thier other faculties and intellegence except for thier indenty.What would happen if a person had amnesia and could not be identified?
They could not commit them. Why would they?....... the person may have lost their memories but they have not lost their capacity to take care of themselves nor have they lost their intelligence. They would probably be given social services to help them get a job and a place to live then be left alone to build a new life.What would happen if a person had amnesia and could not be identified?
They will be identified through DNA tests, medical records and dental records - possibly a similar way to identifying somebody who has died.
They wouldn't be 'let go', no. They'd be cared for by the state/government in a place which is most suitable for their needs.
