Saitama Prefectural Police have arrested a 30-year-old unemployed man on suspicion of beating his 8-year-old stepson in 2019. The child suffered a broken arm and a pulmonary contusion caused by chest trauma.

Police arrested Akio Kuboyama, who lives in Tsurugashima City, on Monday, Sankei Shimbun reported. According to the warrant, Kuboyama repeatedly kicked and stepped on the boy at their home on May 26, 2019. It took six months for the boy to recover from his injuries. 

According to police, the boy is the son of Kuboyama’s 50-year-old wife by a previous partner. Officers are investigating whether the suspect routinely abused the child.

It took six months for the boy to recover from his injuries, but 19 months for this monster to be arrested? How does this make any sense?

Hey Akio, why don't your get a job instead?

I'm sure they are looking for people to clean out gutters with poop, knock down little kids buiding block towers or clean up contaminated areas in Fukushima.

You know stuff you're clearly qualified to do.

Pathetic Akio, real pathetic.
