34-year-man arrested on suspicion of abusing 6-month-old son

Thank heavens the boy is OK.

Got carried away"??

Well, I was reading a bedtime story to my 3 year old son this evening. And it incorporated a variation of the Golden Rule. You know, the " do to others what you want them to do to you" idea.

So, right, Homma-san, shall we get some big policeman to shake you violently and throw you to the ground.... maybe from the 2nd Floor?? Sound about fair, given what you did.... I mean, you know how the police can just get carried away....

Arrested doesn't mean squat. They won't put him in jail, because he's the family breadwinner. So, other than the embarrassment, he won't suffer at all, unlike his poor baby son.

They won't put him in jail, because he's the family breadwinner.

And you're basing that on...? Because when I do a bit of searching in Japanese, I find many cases where the guy gets jail time. Are you basing that purely on what you read on JT?

Yes, I often hear from women that their husband never helps with the children. Then I meet the women who just plain don't want to leave their husband with the children because they feel their husband is incompetent to take care of them. These kind of cases are going to make women not even attempt to ask their husbands for help.

I am glad the boy is recovering and sure the heck hope the woman leaves his behind.

Lovely words. Thanks, zones.

The judge should put him in jail for 564,632 days because the judge "got carried away" with the sentencing. Also, what did he get carried away with?

A man in Australia was just jailed for 26 years for abuse of a 6 month old child. Admittedly, it was not his kid, but the sentence seems fitting to me. I'd guess this guy will get a two year suspended sentence in Japan.

Mate, my mother, many years ago, told me to treasure the early years with any children I had. And there is nothing better than sharing a bedtime story, goodnights and tucking them into bed. The world can be on fire, but there is nothing more pure than a child telling you that they love you.

Back on topic please.

I always read to my 1yr 4month year old son every evening. Like your boy, he's always safest in his dad's arms. Something that poor little guy will never know.

Or a some big strong foreigner..Now we're talking zones!! I'll second that in a heartbeat.

VERY fitting. That way, when he gets out in 26 years, there will be a 26 year old young man ready to pound the crap out him. Would be nice to see THAT happen to Honma KUN as well.

I grew up looking after my young brother who was so precious and I cant imagine treating a loved one like this.Oh I miss him
