An 11 year old is NOT a teenager. They are a pre teen. And nothing a child could do should provoke anyone into sexually abusing them.

An 11 year old cannot seduce anyone. They are 11.
Its the type of excuse paedophiles give. They love to blame their victims

11 year olds who find themselves in child prostitution, and this is UNLIKELY in this case, are absolutely victims. Most likely the previous victims of child abuse.
Stop putting any kind of blame on this little girl, The effects of this will last her a lifetime, it will be so hard for her to recover.
I wish her every success in recovering and rebuilding her life after this freak abused her.

There is no allegedly about it. He admitted the sexual assault.
I cant believe some of you that are trying to either suggest she was not the injured party or was culpable in some way. She was 11 years old. A child who was the victim of a clearly dangerous and predatory paedophile.

I find the tone of being a broad totally condencending towards women here. Lots of information on how to get an abortion, not much support for the women here raising a family.
The events are non child friendly too.

Dr Tofu,
Havent been near an Eikawa for years, actually. My main contact with foreign men is at the school gates, or having the misfortune to be railroaded by them at the supermarket.
Central Tokyo, quiet family suburb, there are a few at the school, picking up or dropping off at the same time as me. Apart from one notable exception, who appeared to be pretty decent, these are absolute creeps. In a community like a school, not saying hello in the morning, or acting like they are on a perputual summer camp is just plain wierd.
As for those creeps who never help a woman struggling with pushchair down the stairs at stations, or barge past in supermarkets, makes me realise that Japanese men behave very well in comparison.
As for those men obssessed with stick thin women, and who seem to have wierd eyesight which tells them western women here are all fat, they must just tell themselves that to cheer themselves up. I see a few western porkers male and female, from day to day. But the vast majority of western women here, baby or no baby, are slim.
I myself have two babies and dont fit into the sterotype of fat western woman at all. Japanese size medium. Please tell me where you see all these western women with children I dont meet another western mother from month to month, unless Im in costco.
I have also seen a few very tubby japanese mothers. Generalising and making fat seem like a crime is jsut unhealthy. Worse is the bullima and anorexia which is rife here.
Women here are encouraged to diet during pregnancy, putting their figures over the health of the baby and producing nice big healthy bouncing babies. Being slim right after popping out a baby is just not realistic an the health of the mother who will ruin her bones, and the baby, is more important than being attractive to a loser who lives in a fantasy land, and is phobic about weightgain in a woman. See, take away the Charima Man`s toys and he gets all nasty. I suggest one of those dolls they are talking about, they dont break wind, put on weight, and they might even make one soon who will do the cleaning for her master too!

Im sorry, but to a man, all the western men I have met here have been losers, who want to believe that japanese women have not been infected with the feminist attitudes and
because Im worth itcreed of women in their home countries. Less forceful, more pliable, the marketing of the Japanese female is inspired to snag men who want to prove their masculinity. Generally having failed to do so in their home countries. Its theseCharima menwhose vile behaviour wins them no fans.First they find out, all is not so cosy, and as soon as the ring is on the finger, Miss
delightfulchanges somewhat.Then they cry when they lose the children they have with their Japanese wives, and their wives leave them because Eikawa wages dont pay the bills or allow for the luxury lifestyle they crave.
So there is justice after all, I suppose.
Unfortunately western women who marry japanese men and end up stuck here are as generally mistaken as their male counterparts.

but so doesn`t Chip-On-Her-Shoulder Western Woman who sees herself outdone by the more attractive/enjoyable Japanese women. This must be the Pitts for all you high-and-mighty Western women.
...and this mysogynistic drivel is one of my pet peeves about living here. Usually spouted by
charisma menwho have failed to get a girlfriend back home, laughed at in the pub, and suddenly find themselves hot property here in the land of the rising sun.Many women here are in relationships and intelligent and confident enough (having made their way to Japan in the first place) for this patter to be background noise. All my friends are either married, or in relationships and would rather pluck out their eyes than indulge some imbecile chap who cant even be respectful to the female of the species.
As for superior Japanese women. Many are indeed lovely. I suppose they would seem like goddesses if no western woman would give you the time of day.
As for the
we can all go home any time we want...Katherine, no we cant. Some of us are married and that means staying here, long term.Posted in: Stereotypes ’R’ Us

From the article it does appear that this service is aimed primarily to women from poorer asian countries, marriage migrants. Not to foreign women from richer, English speaking western countries.
The other piece on their organisation seems to support that.
Of course these women need support, but so do the victims of domestic violence, married to japanese men, who are from western countries and dont get support or sympathy from the foreign community around them.

I see there is nothing for western women who are in a similar situation.

Im with you Cleo. I used a leash with both my children. My son is now 2, he is not old enough to understand dangers when they are explained to him, and he is too energetic and too strong now to
makehim hold my hand.I found a cute leash with a teddy backback, the leash attatched to the bears tail. He loves wearing it, and I always have my hand on him. Its not demeaning, its just a safety measure.
RIP little Riku kun.
