Tragic... I know, as the father of an active 9-year-old boy, other than tying him down at home do you prevent him from "being a boy." If we had a pond like this around, I could expect to find him there.
RIP boys...and may you find many cool ponds where you go.

In the states if it is a local ticket it is not an admission of guilt to sign, it is signing a notice to appear. If you are out of state, it is a headache!

Sad that a kid so young would take their own life... Makes me think that Japan needs an "It gets better" campaign.
At the same time I wonder if it does get better for those who are bullied...as I still see adults that bully coworkers.

@illsayit -- I don't understand what your fuss is about. Does their thanking those who have helped Japan offend you in some way?

OK...let them continue. Donate the money from the event. Solicit donations from those who attend and make it a collection point for those in need.

I always worry about tag lines like "proceeds will go to..."
This is often after everyone takes a cut. I want ALL SALES to go to the aid. The music labels should donate their time and money to the cause just as they expect the people who buy.
