Another deadbeat child abuser. Tough guy hey, beating up a 10 year old girl. Hope he is jailed, dealt with and expires ASAP.

@Fighto…how you got downvoted by someone is unbelievable! Maybe the person who downvoted you is a child abuser as well and needs jail time as well!

@ Jim - some people out there clearly have guilty consciences I guess.

 The child sustained bruises and injuries that took 10 days to heal.

And emotional trauma that she will never get over. There’s been a lot of callous child abuse cases reported in recent days. It has to stop!

The 10 year old daughter of his girlfriend took 10 days to recover. The judge should sentence Yaguchi to 10 years solitary confinement in prison. Which will be long enough time for his girlfriend to forget him.

This donkey should go meet up with that other dingbat that was abusing his 5 month year old son the other day and go drive into a wall together.

Great reporting by the from the girl's school to the Tsuchiura Child Welfare Center. I personally think schools should be responsible of reporting if they see such incidents, because they are the ones who would see these types of scars on a child or their behavior because they spend a great amount of time with the child.

Divorced women really need to think about it twice, before leaving their children at the hands of these losers.

This is so true! There's no reason to not like what he said. So many negative people! Unless you sympathize with this mother (explative) for beating a kid! A little girl at that too! Its one of the reasons why I post less on this site

Divorced women really need to think about it twice, before leaving their children at the hands of these losers.

It is nowhere mentioned that this mother is a divorcee, only said she she was living with her boyfriend who is not the father of this child. She did nothing to help her daughter, it was the school which reported visible injuries of the girl to the Child Welfare Center.

This mother should also be investigated for willful negligence and of course her boyfriend should be sent to jail.

I cannot help to say women, especially mothers with children, should choose their boyfriends more carefully.

There is no shortage of honest men around everywhere in Japan who are lonely and not violent and would accept anytime a mother with a child to create a family anytime.

I don't understand why women waste their time with such violent losers.
