Its about time the JPolice got their heads out of the sand and started activly monotoring signals or at least start mounting cameras on the signals. I guess they just dont want to upset anyone by giving them a ticket.

This sounds so wrong in every way. A 19 year old girl given her aborted featus after the op. Never heard of such a thing, sounds totaly insensative.. Poor girl must be mortified. Surely if this was a regular hospital there should be some other procedure in place to deal with the featus. With regards putting it in the fridge, Im pretty sure she had no idea what she should do with it...no counseling...no advice. What sort of hospital did she visit?

Yubaru...my thoughts exactly. Easy is made difficult and the hard becomes impossible.

The ubiquitous get out of jail free card....I dont remember anything, Im not going to talk about it. Works every time.

Not a moment too soon. Tired of taking my family out to resuarant only to have someone light up after we have started eating.....second hand smoke...no thanks...clothes wreaking of smoke ...no thanks. The sooner the law is implemented the better.

And he is still being allowed to teach...surely his teaching license should be revoked.

Japan suffers a huge deficit of something called common sense. Anyone with half an ounce of common sense knows not to leave small children alone for whatever reason. Sadly another high rise apartment tragedy.

Household spending didn't fall as much as expected....But, it did fall.

China is its own worst enemy. They dont need to worry about Japan or any other country. The world is not stupid everyone can see what China is trying to do.

Just waiting for a call to claim my 100000 yen

Would you want to quit if you were about to draw another 3.5 mill ¥ bonus? It's a travesty of the working man who supports these politicians.

Just quit already and pay the money back.

Sadly all the signs are there for a bad outcome to this story. The news reports that the mountain track is rarely used exept by locals occasionaly taking a shortcut....so what cars was the poor boy throwing stones at? There is some speculation as to what has actualy happened to the poor boy...and I have to say I tend to agree. The whole story is beginning to sound like a fabrication. I pray their is a happy ending, no child deserves to be treated in such a way.

I'm curious to know if they will retain some of the bizarre names I often see..

Should be fired, banned from working with children....so suprised she never recieved jail time...I just dont get the law here in JP.

Im beginning to think that hit and run is part of the national driving test here. Page 12...Involvement in a road traffic accident. 1, flee the scene. 2, wait 12 hours then report to the local police station. 3, simply state one of the following..1, I didn`t realize I hit anyone, 2..I panicked..3, I dont remember anything.

So often read the same story..I was afraid and panicked. Does society here not teach any morral respect. Had he been taught respect he might have stayed at the scene called emergency services and attempted to help the victims maybe even saving their lives in the process and instead of looking at death by reckless driving could have just been reckless driving.

There are other safe ways to be impressive in gymnastics without building towers of children. This is the only country I know of that performs this dangerous practice.

Every parents nightmare... Cant begin to imagine the familys grief. Rest in Peace little one.

Unbelievable, locked all the children up so they could go to Pachinko...this defies belief.

I came to Japan many moons ago, the first thing I installed in the kitchen was a full sized gas oven...Its just not British not to have an oven to bake in. Well done Tamao...

Enough rhetoric...more action needed...actions speak louder than words.

There should be a public outcry as to the abseloute waste of money...People are still being held in temporary accommodation and struggling to make ends meet after the tsunami disaster. An appalling waste of funds.

Still thinking and promoting the use of nuclear power instead of looking towards promoting renewable energy sources such as solar.....Ok, so it may mean covering a whole mountain in solar panels, but at least they won't contaminate the country when the balloon goes up.

Good luck with that. I see these violations a hundred times a day, including people riding into oncoming traffic and into my path as an avid cyclist. No one seems to take a blind bit of notice. Never seen J police stop anyone for any of these offences.

Common sense prevails...what a stressful ten years for the boy and his family. Courts should have nipped this in the bud before it went this far. More common sense needed.

Mt Fuji is at its most majestic from a distance. I climbed Mt Fuji years ago and was horrified at the amount of people on the slopes..nearly as bad as the ques for the attractions at disney no fun at all.

Where did he get a stun gun? aren't they supposed to be illegal in Japan? Go directly to jail do not pass go....

Nearly hit yesterday as I travelled through a green light to turn right...the light had been on for 4/5 seconds before I exited the junction but, having lived her for ten years am wise to the red light runners, as I checked right a woman was barrelling through the red light, eased off the gas as she sailed across the front of me totally oblivious of her crime...near death experience...totally blinkered!

Such a tragedy, theres no reason why a truck should rear end a car on the hard shoulder. The hard shoulder is supposed to be a safe refuge for emergencies but history shows that it isn't...time and time again we see this sort of news, I advise my family if they have the same situation to get out of the car and off the hard shoulder as quickly as possible come what may rain hail or sunshine. The hard shoulder is not a safe refuge.
