A 28-year-old woman in Airai, Kagoshima Prefecture, has been arrested for allegedly assaulting her 11-month-old baby boy, police said Wednesday.
According to police, the woman, who has been identified as Kaori Uchida, allegedly assaulted her baby in an attack, or attacks, which included shaking him violently on a regular basis last year, NTV reported. Doctors say the baby sustained brain damage as a result.
Police say they believe the woman may have committed similar assaults against her seven-year-old daughter and six-year-old son in the past. Both children have now been taken into protective custody.

Not mental illness...Calousness.
Mirai Hayashi
Being cold and neglectful to your children would be "callous" , beating them and shaking them shows a sign that something isn't mentally right with that mother.

This really pisses me off.....what the hell is happening here? Someone should step in and take justice. These people are really sick, I don't mean just mentally sick I mean REALLY SICK.

it happens. when a parent gets too stressed out, you have a million things to do at once and there's no one around to help, the kids cries non stop and then you snap... sad. there must be a way to prevent situations like this.
Mirai Hayashi
I think there is more to it than just snapping.

Punishment: 30mins a day with her head in a paint shaker.
I would ask where the dad was but this is JP so its most likely the dad was working his butt off in another city unless she was dating some loser.
They say allegedly so who reported it, the hospital?

Mothers of Japan, what is wrong with you?

Im glad all her children are now under protective custody. And hope the mother gets punishment by the law.

In all likelihood, the father is off working two jobs to pay for keeping a family of five in a house.

1 lunatic doesn't equate to "mothers of Japan"

Exactly Wakarimasen. I have met a lot of kind caring mothers, as well as some witches.

As a parent these sort of stories piss me off. Lock her up for good and make sure she no longer plays any part in her childrens lives!

This woman has some serious mental issues that could have saved her children alot of pain & agony if it would have been detected sooner. Wish the children well and hope she gets the help she so desperately needs.
