A 45-year-old man and his 26-year-old wife have been sent to prosecutors after they were arrested on suspicion of abusing their six-year-old daughter in Ebina, Kanagawa Prefecture.
According to the Yokohama District Public Prosecutor’s Office, Takashi Koyama and his wife Saeka, who are both restaurant employees, abused their daughter (then 5) by placing her head-first in a garbage can at their home on March 10, Sankei Shimbun reported. Takashi is also accused of using a PET bottle to beat Saeka multiple times.
Police said Saeka was taken to hospital where doctors diagnosed her as having suffered subcutaneous bleeding in the head. The hospital notified a child welfare center.
Police said both parents have admitted to the charge, and quoted them as saying they did it because Saeka would “freeze” whenever they said something to her.

Evil.
Fighto!
Two more animals who need to be sterilized, jailed for many years, and banned from contact with any children for the rest of of their pathetic lives.
I hope the girl recovers and finds a loving family.

Sounds like a deer in headlights. The kid was terrified. Doesn't take an expert to see that one.

It's FEAR, dummies. You go badmouthing your kid and see what happens. 6 years old. How else would she react? take her AWAY from these unfit parents.

Falls under the category of The Beatings Will Continue Until Morale Improves. As her biological parents (notice I didn't just say "parents"), I wonder how it feels to know that on your very best day, you're a POS?
