Police in Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture, have arrested a 32-year-old man on suspicion of child abuse after he allegedly beat his nine-month-old son in May.
According to police, the incident occurred on the night of May 21, Kyodo News reported. Police said Kazuki Kono, an employee of his father’s company, is accused of slapping his son’s cheeks and hitting his neck several times. The infant suffered a subdural hematoma and subcutaneous bleeding in the neck, requiring one month of recovery.
Police said Kono, who was arrested on Tuesday, lives with his wife and two sons. At the time of the incident, his wife and eldest son were out.
According to Tsuchiura Child Consultation Center, the youngest son has been temporarily taken into custody. Police said they are questioning Kono about whether he regularly abused his youngest son.

Police said they are questioning Kono about whether he regularly abused his youngest son. More than likely yes, I would also want to think that perhaps the kid had some issues that were uncontrollable the mother knew because she was out with the youngest son running errands perhaps the kid had some issues and was alot of work to care for while doing so, this is why she had the youngest one with her who would probably be easier to care for while she ran her errands. Just my thinking not saying this happened.

I hope when this kid turns 32, he’ll find his “father” and do the exact same thing to him.
tired of these fools that have no idea how to treat infants and toddlers. Make sure he gets daily training when he’s in jail. You know, in between manual labor stints

Kono must be arrested and put in prison for 10 years and abused every day the way he abused his 9 months son. On his release he should be divorced from his wife and never allowed to go near his family. He should be chemically castrated and made never able to father children in his life.

It’s take six months to arrest him? That’s odd.
Man arrested over abuse of 9-month-old son
He is not a man! I remember when Mt done was 9 months old and he had just started walking. It was one of the pleasurable and proud times of my life What is wrong with these people that they must beat their young children? It astonishes and perplexes me to no end.

Must feel like a "real big man" to slap an innocent and defenseless 9month old baby, huh? Give him 30 years HARD labour!

Apparently my parents smacked my bottom when I wouldn’t stop crying. Never face or neck. Prison for him.

You have to be sick to hit a 9-month old baby.
