All this would not have happened had these kids been home....What is a junior high school kid doing on the streets at 10:40???? These kids lack freedom where they need it and get too much where they don't......This was obviously a good son of Japan, thinking of others before himself. RIP young man. The girl will need counselling, I hope she gets it soon.

This all depends on why the kid is crying. If he/she is uncomfortable the parent should do all that is possible to create comfort. If the kid is just spoilt and rude....slap the parent!!! kidding. But seriously, the parent should be held responsible for the behaviour of the child.

It changes with situation...put an American youth in a bar and things can get really ugly. Put a Chinese person in a store that has a good sale and you better watch out.

When will this stop?? How can a man be certain that his Japanese wife won't turn to this in the future? I think many of these are copycat killings, especially in light that they are never given serious punishment. I fear for the kids!!!

Half this country's problems will be solved if the people stop following the draconian practices of the past. Not every tradition is worth keeping...

If someone has parents, each of different races, they are indeed made up of a half of each race. I consider this to be rather exotic and unique. Japan, however, has smade it a bad term through their unwillingness to accept that differences exist and are ok.

Finally, more power to super granny. I am tired os seeing this sort of thing on the bus and on the train. I have had to ask a young woman to get up in a really loud way on one occaision, where, a poor old woman who could hardly stand straight was left standing. My intimidating height works for stuff like these.

Everytime I see these headlines I grieve man. Has the government ever said anything that even suggests that they are aware of this seemingly growing problem???? if they did send me a link somebody. It makes no sense you work on policies to save or make money for a nation with no kids.
