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.

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!

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

28 y.o. mom, with three kids on her watch and where Mr. Dad in all this?? Same father or....not!?? SNAPPING!?? with two older kids...don't think so. I'm with [@ Mirai Hayashi] on this. There'S got to be more than this!!

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

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

Mothers of Japan, what is wrong with you?

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?

I think there is more to it than just snapping.

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.

how could you even do that...after carrying him for 9 months...it's so unthinkable.

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.

Poor kids, poor baby.

Not mental illness...Calousness.

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.
