Police said Saturday they have arrested a 34-year-old man and his 20-year-old common-law wife for allegedly abusing the woman's 2-year-old daughter at their home in Tomisato City, Chiba prefecture.
Police identified the man as Isao Tada, who works as a truck driver. He is accused of beating the girl on her face and stomping on the girl's leg, breaking her thigh bone on May 29, Fuji TV reported. A city welfare officer observed that the girl also had swelling on her face when he visited the home to check on the woman's 11-month-old son.
Tada has admitted to abusing the girl on more than one occasion and was quoted by police as saying he was frustrated because the girl didn't like him, Fuji reported. The girl's mother also admitted to beating her on May 24.

Oh God, poor little girl. I hope they take her and the baby away from these animals and let her be raised somewhere safe and loving. What kind of human detritus stamps on an infants leg and breaks her thigh?

Teenage pregnancy, biological father not living with them and replaced with a much older abusive boyfriend. This poor kid had the deck stacked against her from the get go. I sincerely hope it starts to get better for her real soon.

Another flea beating some one elses child, I hope he gets stomped on by the courts and the other inmates who hate child abusers.
Rapidly detesting these truck driver types more and more witht he stories coming out involving them lately.

Another victim of family breakdown.
Every child deserves their natural parents for love and protection.

Calling people "animals" won't solve the problem, right lucabrasi? We should forgive these parents and try to understand them I guess?

Really? Is there any wonder she didn't like you? Would love to have the chance to jump on his legt and break his thigh bone! The poor little girl. I hope she is taken away from these animals.

Another woman who will turn on her own child for the sake of family 'harmony' and the love of some undeserving bully.
A terrible story.
OMGhontoni
Like the natural Mother in this case who admits to beating her? Please. Every child deserves love and protection. Whoever can give that is who it should come from.

OMG here we go again. I just hate these child abuse stories. How in the world can you stomp on a 2-year old girl and still consider yourself human.

Another poor young woman gets pregnant from?? Starts to live together with a scum low life Japanese truck driver?? Didn't we already read this kind of crappy news about 20 times this year?? What did this poor little girl do to deserve such a horrible mother??
Franchesca Miyara Yang
Sarcasm anyone?
nath
I would like to stomp on his legs and slap his face I bet he wouldn't like me too then.
OMGhontoni
You are right, I apologise. Insulting to real animals to be compared with these two.

If its not the unemployed its always a truck driver that does bad things is it. Why does the news here always seem to connect occupation to crime? I guess other people who do other work just don't this type of crime.

I would gladly stomp this man and crush every bone in his body. I will say it's because he didn't like me...I'll be sure he doesn't like me.

Isao Tada you are filth filth trash. Stomped on the little girls Leg. I am not a Violent person but i envisioned what you did. The violence that i would like to inflict on you as payback for what you did cannot be described. It would be done as if she was mine. Can people PLEASE PLEASE FOLLOW THIS. This TRASH ISAO TADA should never walk the streets EVER. The "mother" would never be let near a child again. The case needs to be followed. THis guy is a Barbaric Monster. Anybody who does this needs a lethal injection but before that a slow slow slow form of punishment.

These kind of things are lets say fairly common in Japan. Yes there is story after story and the mothers violently abusing the kids too. To say it happens everywhere no no no not at the rates as happening in Japan. What is it? Why? Can someone explain?
americangio
Mmhh.. the girl didn't like him...What a surprise.. I wonder why..
sensei258
She's 20 and has two children already? That's children making children. So many have no idea of the magnitude of what they're doing. They're creating a life, an eternal being, and gaining great responsibility. Too bad the children are often accidental byproducts of their "parents" irresponsible behavior.

Im getting sick to see this kind of news over n over again. But is good to know what is happening around us at the same time. It makes me rage with this mother. Feel like slapping her face!
tmarie
Mom needs to get a life. Two kids at the age of 20, not married and living common law with a guy much older? Her parents failed her and now she's failing her kids. Thank god city hall workers were checking up on the baby or that poor child could have been killed. Throw them both in jail and then throw away the key.
And not sure why people are making an issue over this guys job nor him not being the real dad. Mom is the real mom and beating her child, plenty of rich lawyers kick the crap out of their wives and kids - they just pay money to get out of it.

Of course, twenty and thirty something pregnancies don't result in abuse.
Of course, when the biological father is around, there is no abuse then either.
Near in age differences also never result in abuse
Abusive boyfriend. Abusive mother. Abusive father. Abusive uncle. Abusive stranger. Key word is abusive.. Yeah, pretty much you throw an abusive person in the mix and bingo! You get abuse! Its what abusive people do, no matter their age, their age difference, their blood relationship or their credit card balance.
You are making my head hurt.
oshibori
I don't like him either!

Just plain disgusting and frankly bigoted commentary! Men do not abuse kids because they are men, or because of their age, the age of their common law wife, the gender of their common law wife, the age she gave birth, or his or her marital status! Men abuse kids because those particular men are the scum of the Earth, and the same goes for women! Stop insulting whole classes of people because one guy is an evil SOB! Or draw this to its consistent conclusion and find out what kind of car they drove, what color shirts they wore and if they had tattoos or not and also tie those to brutal child abuse!
