Police on Saturday arrested a 30-year-old man for allegedly beating his 8-month-old daughter to death at their home in Chiba's Chuo Ward on Friday night. According to police, Kazuo Sugatani went into a room where his daughter was crying around 11:45 on Friday night. He told police he gave her a bottle of milk but when she wouldn't stop crying, he hit her in the face and on her head.
Sugatani's 22-year-old wife told police she was in another room watching TV at the time. She said her husband came back and said there was something wrong with the child. They then called 119. The child died of internal bleeding a few hours later in hospital, police said.

Wrong's wrong with this mother and the father should be executed. She should have heard something, beating to death is more than audible. The parenting in this place sometimes is atrocious. Yet another sickening crime against an innocent child.

rjd_jr, Dad was just trying to make her tougher.
Sorry for this child and sorrier for the mother who has lost her child because her sperm-donor has the brains of a single sperm. How can an adult human beat a child and not feel some... pity? Did this guy's dad hit him when he wouldn't do something, like stop crying?

When immature children have children, this is what happens. They're supposed to be "kawaii, kireii and shizuka!" Undeveloped adult children can't deal with real life. 8 months old, what chance did she have? R.I.P aka-chan, I hope you're resting in peace.

grouchy,
I say rest in vengeance mode and if there is a chance to come back and waste the guy in the future, do it!

i do trust he want to suicide himself after this tragedy, though he wasn't mean to do that,he still has responsibility what the parents way should be.
Fair dinkum!
Didn't you all know physical punishment/abuse is the way all Japanese discipline their kids? It's the done thing! In order to solve issues with children without abuse you need to common sense. Therein lies the problem. Condolences to the mother.

I agree ! Why the government hasn't stepped in to declare a national emergency is beyond belief. Japan has become one of the cruelest nations on this here planet. This crap sickens me !
