Posted in: Mother gets 8 years in prison over fatal abuse of 5-year-old daughter See in context

The ex-husband's name is Yudai? That's a fitting name for him because in English it sounds like "You Die." For what you've done to an innocent 5-year old child I certainly hope...you die.

Thanks, Yubaru! Yeah, where I live in Yamato, there wasn't much damage that I can see. I walked my dog about 9:00AM and saw just some debris from trash (put out for Monday morning collection) and leaves. But like others commenting, I didn't get much sleep last night because the high winds are rain rattled the windows and my poor doggo was so scared by the noise that she tried to hide under me for protection lol xD Ugh...work is gonna be fun today on 3 hours of sleep.

Is this a common thing young women do in Japan? I read about the same situation a couple months ago happening in Saitama prefecture. I can't believe it!

Posted in: A bill banning parents from physically punishing children is expected to be passed during the current Diet session. Do you think it should be illegal for parents to hit their children as a means of discipline? See in context

By hitting a child, it teaches him or her that as a parent, you are not to be trusted. As good parents, a child learns from love to trust adults and does not develop an unhealthy fear of being physically punished for making mistakes. Take away toys, put children in time out, make them do chores as a punishment but never strike them with a fist or verbally abuse them. I speak from experience. My biological father (it digusts me to even call him a 'father') would regularly punch me in the chest when I was 12, would belittle me, verbally and emotionality abuse me and as I grew older I began to distrust and despise him for what he did. I remember the day I gave him the most evil, hateful stare I could and he said, "Don't look at me like that. It means you want to kill me." To which I replied, "Then you should stop hitting me." We haven't had any contact with each other in over 20 years.
