Police in Sakaide, Kagawa Prefecture, have arrested a 45-year-old man on suspicion of assaulting his nine-year-old son by stomping on his face several times at their home last month.
According to police, Hirosei Inoue, who claims to be self-employed, allegedly grabbed his son by the hair, dragged him to the floor and stomped on his face several times between 10 p.m. and midnight on April 22, NHK reported. Inoue also made the child kneel and beg for forgiveness.
Police said the boy sustained injuries to his face requiring one week to recover from. The hospital contacted a child welfare center which notified police about a case of possible child abuse.
Police said Inoue has admitted to the charge but gave no motive for behavior. Police did not release any information on the boy’s mother.

How could any father do this to his own child?

Not kicked but “stomped” on a child’s face. Solitary confinement is too easy for reflection on his deeds. Inoue obviously needs some socialization & interaction with the general population in the lockup.

Here’s hoping the child recovers without any visible physical scarring and will get adequate mental health counseling to cope with this terrible ordeal. Based on this first 5am report, we can perhaps presume there is mother and/or maternal relatives to provide a home fore him to return to:

I don’t understand, why doesn’t the people that report this stuff, show the coward’s face?
Put the piece of garbage on blast for all to see.

Stomping can lead to death. My father used the wooden spoon and when I was older, the leather belt. Neither could of killed me. With all this MMA stuff these days, it seems to be the norm to kick and punch people in the head when they are knocked out on the ground.
interesting to know what the son did wrong.

Despicable father.
How would he like it if someone repeatedly stomped on his face and forced him to beg forgiveness ?
Whatever the boy did doesn't justify his father's actions .

If you’re stomped on the face severely, I would think it would take longer than one week to recover. He’s not the worst father. At least he didn’t kill his child which isn’t saying much.

claims to be self-employed.
In other words, the writer thinks he's an unemployed lowlife. Definitely a lowlife, that's for sure.

'Interesting' nothing. There's no excuse for this action, NONE. Kids are too vulnerable, this scumbag could've killed him.
Lowlife. Scum. Abuser. 'Low' alright. He's lower than the belly of an egg-laying queen pissant. That's low!

Why does this continue to happen? The father beats the child and no word from the mother. Maybe we aren't hearing her side of the story or perhaps the husband is her lifeline so she stays quiet. I say lock the monster father up!!! Then he asks a child to get on his knees and beg forgiveness. I can see this story being told 10 years from now or earlier only the child doing the father in. Most often we readers read these stories and wonder why the child or son/daughter killed their parents. Perhaps this is the answer, pent up aggression from not being able to defend themselves.

There is no justification for this abusive crap whatsoever! And what about the mother? What did she do?
