Mother arrested for burning daughter with lighter

“I didn’t do it. She did it to herself.”

One day you will burn for such cruelty.

No matter how you put it , this is just terrible. (According to the news she is not the victim's biological mother).

I can get real creative on the many ways I would like to torture this horrible stupid woman up in Gunma!! So the 5 year old little girl was burning herself?????!!! What a stupid try at making up a lie!!! I hope she is arrested for a few years!!

Where is the love?

So, she 'did it to herself' but you saw no need to remove the lighter from her presence. Yeah, I believe your story.

What a coward. Abusing a small child and she can't even cop to it.

... and the saddest thing is that the courts in Japan will probably put the child right back with the mother after this. Where was the father when this was happening?

Even if she was telling the truth, giving 5 year olds access to lighters seems legit....

Why does it always come down to threats of violence when you are posting on stories like this? It's really a bit disturbing.

Why would a 5 years old child burn herself! This mother is crap full of lies. I believe she is getting sick to look after her own child. Hope child counseling centre keep this child away from the mother. N keep tight check on her mother if child return home. Pray for this child...

If you don't like kids, stop having them! Tired of all of these horrible mother stories.

Maybe "an eye for an eye" ? (The crime itself is pretty violent...)

baka haha!

Sadly, the child will probably be returned to the mother before long.

FightingViking: He may feel that way but in most of the civilized world Hammurabi's Code is no longer followed and for good reason. Violence begets violence. Elbuda's constant talk of violence is disturbing and not in the least bit impressive.

“I didn’t do it. She did it to herself.”

Of course she did... and she puffs away quite happily while reading the paper and with a large G&T on the side. What a thoroughly wicked act.

“I didn’t do it. She did it to herself.” How in the world dose a five year old know how to use a lighter? Who is going to fall for that lie?
