Have you heard of Benjaman Kyle? It’s a true story and a very sad one at that.  Benjaman Kyle is the name given to a man who was found beaten, naked and unconscious outside of a Burger King near Atlanta, Georgia back in 2004.  The beating was so severe that to this day, he suffers from dissociative amnesia – a condition where he can’t remember anything about himself or his life prior to 2004.

Let me say that one again:  HE CAN’T REMEMBER ANYTHING ABOUT HIMSELF OR HIS LIFE PRIOR TO 2004!!!

He doesn’t know how old he is.  He doesn’t know who his parents are.  He doesn’t know if he has any brothers or sisters or uncles or cousins or even any friends!  He doesn’t even remember his name!  “Benjaman Kyle” isn’t his real name; it’s just what the hospital began calling him because they needed to refer to him as something!

Sad isn’t it?
