35-year-old man arrested for kicking 7-year-old stepdaughter, causing internal organ damage

What a vile and repulsive bully, he is a monster!

I hope this dear little girl and her brother can heal mentally and physically after what has happened to them.

Some of these step parents behave like wild animals. Perhaps they are just that, Wild Animals.

And the mother let it happen.

Step-dad raised kid here. He was a bully. I spent some time flat on the floor looking up to his face while he sneered. I got good at coming up with a believable like in nanoseconds because the truth meant some sort of physical punishment. This is why when in stories like this it's that a step-father did it (this one makes me sick) he should get twice or three times the punishment he would get for doing it to an adult.

nonu6576 has it exactly right. No help from Mom so I hit the road at 17. I still hate that man and my mother even though they're both dead. 7. 7 freaking years old. Apologies for the rant.

Jail for that scumbag loser clown...

BigP - Some of these step parents behave like wild animals. Perhaps they are just that, Wild Animals.

And some of them are the best parents. Don’t generalize.

My flesh is trembling to see this kind of news I felt I want to smash the face of that man.

Problem of Japanese women getting divorced, then falling for some tough guy who mistreats her kids from the first marriage. This is a major problem in Japan. Don’t tell me about good stepfathers. I KNOW that. Address the problem: Women who are attracted to these toughs, even at the expense of the safety of their little children. Infuriating! Blame these mothers too. For letting this happen! And the social agencies that also let it happen.

I dearly hope this animal "accidentally" expires while he is locked up. He does not deserve the oxygen, food, or water to live.

May the poor, innocent girl and her brother recover from these heinous attacks.

@ Gene Hennigh - that is a harrowing and truly heartbreaking story you shared.

I genuinely hope your despicable step-"father" and mother spent the last of their pathetic lives in a wretched state.

Why is the mother still there?

What human excrement this low life is !

Humanity has lost awareness of its animal and biological foundations. Lions kill the step cubs. Some species of primates also mistreat offspring that are not biologically theirs. Civilization, education, morals, ethics, etc. are a thin varnish. We are wild beasts. Look at the wars, slavery, and all the disorders of this world, nothing more than manifestations of our beastly base. This stepfather is a lowly creature whose "education" was overrun by his ape nature. I am not condoning his behavior, I loathe it, but as history has shown, punishment does little or nothing to reform.

Child abuse, be it by the biological or step father is unacceptable in every society period.

There is an underclass fast expanding in Japan which see violence as an outlet…

This evil repulsive man needs his internal organs to be beaten up till he feels the pain he has caused to the children. Never let such animals out again.

Another case of a man seeing the "step daughter" as left over baggage from the wife's past.

Ladies, be careful. You don't need these guys and your kids really don't need them.

Mr Kipling

Yeah, well you see the problem is these Japanese women marrying these guys seem to think they DO need them. That IS the problem. They are sick. A lot of the women are sick in the head.

All these comments are valid.

Personally,I think that I treat other children than my own more gently.

They have already been through emotional trauma.

It is hard to take in how a grown man can do this to a little girl, he is certainly not a human as we know it, but rather a sub-human species yet to be identified by scientists. He is not fit to be part of any society, and as for her mother, she must be near his level to. How can any mother let their young daughter be treated in such a inhuman way?....She needs locking away to.

That's not a stepfather.

That's a waste of human trash.

Throw him in a prison cell for life, I guarantee no one would miss him.

I know many stepfather's who are truly good people.

35-year-old man on suspicion of abusing his seven-year-old stepdaughter

Wow! Real tough guy. (sarcasm) That's not a father (step-father). More like a thug.

Child abuse is the worst, but all abuse is disgusting - of animals, spouses/lovers, co-workers. You don't have to be a hippy tree-hugger to see the whole point of being here is to nurture and nourish.

If the woman won't get away from this scumbag, time to get those kids to social services ASAP. Then, lock the guy up

For Gene above. Reading your comments about your stepfather makes me a little sick to my stomach. Sorry you had to deal with that. My father, he too had a rough time with his stepfather, but I’m proud of the man he became and family he raised. Your comments are always on the ball and you can be proud knowing the guy you’ve become and the only one you have to thank for that is yourself.

As for this sick scumbag, I hope he gets some of his own, and I hope the children never have to deal with him again.

If karma is real, someone will damage his internal organs in prison. OTOH, TIJ, so it'll probably be a suspended sentence.

Time for the mother to get a divorce and send the bum to jail!

Choosing a marriage partner when you have a child or children, needs to be a careful

process of observing how the prospective partner behaves and interacts with your children.

This story is horrible.

What kind of a hell has the mother created for her children, by choosing an abusive loser.

I hope both the little girl and her brother are cared for, free from the abusive and neglectful people who have failed them miserably.

And more Cinderella syndrome...J males just don't have it in them to love another mans child. Yes it happens everywhere but not in the volume per capita as it does in Japan.
