My Filipina wife is 8 years younger than my daughter which is none of anybody's business . The police should arrest these stalkers and charge them before they attack .

I thought Japan recently passed a strict anti stalking law to protect the victims? What's with this "warning" rubbish? If you tell a child "Don't do that!" (issue a warning), what's the FIRST thing they will do as you turn your back? At least she is alive!
