I think the woman is sick. Because a 70 year old Japanese woman is not that too old not recognize the voice of her own son.
Well, another part of my brain is suspicious of the son. There is a possibility that the son played a part in scamming the mother...!!

That is the reason why I always tell my friends that death sentence should be kept in place. Because idiots like this devil should not be kept in prison for long. He should to be put to death by hanging.

@michaelqtodd , You really know the BIG secrets of living a happy life in Japan. I always tell my friends the same things but some of them think that they are smart and the Japanese and their police force are fools.

Egrover, Wow this is a terrible story. But I have a question for you. When you were in Shibuya police station, why didn't you alert the US embassy? I am sure the story would have been different had the US embassy stepped in. The embassy might have not done anything about the mafia side of your story though. But with the police things wouldn't have gone that far.

I have lived in Japan for 18 years and never had any problem with Japanese police. In all these years I have been asked five times in the street to show my Alien card. I did that without any argument because I know that the police are doing their job. The police officers in all these occasions ended up saluting and apologizing to me. And as a black man and an African I don't think I can get this kind of treatment from any police officers of all the countries of the world including my own.
There is one thing that we gaijins in Japan need to understand, Japanese police are not only asking foreigners to show their ID cards or being searched in the streets. The same is being done to Japanese nationals all the time in the street. And the street searching is done to Japanese nationals more it is done to us foreigners. So as you move around in japan especially in big train stations, pay attention and one day you will see the police doing that to Japanese.
For me personally Japanese police are the best police officers to deal with in the whole world if you have a good manner of approach and follow the laws of this country.

"This is also terrorism"
What about all the rocket and mortar attacks that have traumatized southern Israel?
Sarge: All the rocket and mortar attacks are Chritmas presents from Palestinian Santa Claus to Israel. They are not meant to harm or kill anybody.
