He'll be fine as long as long as he looks for those bare necessities. He'll be the king of the swingers in no time.

[Smithy]

The McCans haven't got anything on these idiots :umm2:

[joeysteele]

Unbelievable,what a crazy thing to do.

Yes he was Naughty
so they left him alone in Forest
went back he was gone.
Japan is Hard on kids


Now they will search at first light
which is soon

[Drew.]

Parents will be using this to threaten their kids with when they're being little ****s in the future. Long gone are the days of the naughty step, it's all about feeding them to wild animals these days

Japan may be hard on kids in terms of education etc but it isn't this hard... These two were just borderline idiotic..

[the truth]

The McCans haven't got anything on these idiots :umm2:

theyre on a par but of course the mccanns managed to buy their way out of the persecution these parents will face

[Niamh.]

Jesus Christ :/

[waterhog]

Yes , sad if they do not find him

[Mystic Mock]

Poor kid.

I bet the wild Animals will take better care of him than the parents did.:joker:

[Niamh.]

No sign of him yet?

Miraculously he's reported to have been found alive. Poor kid he's going to be scarred for life!

Him to return in 20 years as Tarzan?

[Ammi]

...so good that he's ok(ish)..as Jonni said though, the emotional damage will be very far-reaching through his life, poor little guy...

[VanessaFeltz.]

“The first thing I said to him was that I was really sorry. He nodded and said OK, like he understood.” - Bitch you probably emotionally abused him to the point he can say anything.

Tanooka, 44, then apologised to his son’s school, the search teams and everyone who had supported the family through the weeklong search. - Japanese schools another place where they abuse kids

[Ammi]

..apparently the child had been throwing rocks at cars and people...(an extremely dangerous thing to be doing..)...way to teach him about endangering people by abandoning him in a bear inhabited area.../huge thought went into that 'punishment'...

[user104658]

Yamato Tanooka was found by chance by military personnel in a hut on one of its exercise areas 5km from where he is believed to have gone missing and had sustained only cuts.

The doctor who assessed him after his ordeal in Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost island, said: “He was incredibly calm considering he had been missing for seven days. He didn’t panic at all.”

Kid is hardcore. Give it 20 years and we've got the new, improved, more Japanese, Bear Grylls here. 6 days in the forest with no food, aged 7, and he's like "whatevz guys someone make me a sandwich".

Good Job he found the Army training Base
which has running water


A Good Outcome

Absolutely.
It is good to hear he is safe, however I hope many questions are asked of these Parents.

Dump her in a forest?

[Crimson Dynamo]

Dump her in a forest?

yes, in Japan

[user104658]

What I'm wondering now is... if someone went missing in a forest, and you knew there was a building within walkable radius... isn't that one of the FIRST places you would look if they weren't found in the immediate area of where they went missing?

[user104658]

yes, in Japan

Apparently they're too safe though, I'm thinking South American tropics are probably the best bet.

[Niamh.]

Great news to hear he was found safe, i really didn't think he would be

[Amy Jade]

Glad he was found but have they just allowed him back to his parents?

[Niamh.]

Glad he was found but have they just allowed him back to his parents?

he's probably traumatised by the whole thing, not putting him back with his parents would probably be worse for him right now

[Ammi]

..yeah I agree, I think that him not going back to his parents now, would be the worst thing for him...however grim what they did may have been..and however strange it may sound, they're his comfort/safety and security..which is what he needs right now more than ever...with a close support as well for the whole family from social services...

[Ammi]

..on a positive..imagine being able to tick off your life experiences list... 'survival for a week in a bear inhabited forest'..at the age of 7yrs old.../amazing little guy...:love:..

[Kizzy]

What a cutie he is, I'll have him :) If he does go back to his parents and I suspect he will as I don't think they will dare punish him again, he'll get unlimited ice cream haha!
Son, you've been naughty again.. yes but dad you abandoned me in a bear forest.... have another ice cream son! :laugh:

[arista]

Yes
I was the same
if only they told us of these Army Cabins
with a running tap water,
he stayed in for the week.


He is just 7
I think he was "right to leave the road"
in case someone bad picked him up

[user104658]

Yes, if he knew they were coming back he should have stayed where he was but obviously when they drove off, he thought they really had left so he left too. I also suspect they left him for quite a bit longer than they claim to have left him before going back, not just a few minutes. If it was minutes he'd still have been able to hear them shouting for him.

He might be quite strong willed, and just didn't respond, and turned it round on them to teach them a lesson, he seems quite resourceful most kids would be rooted to the spot, I'm glad he gave them a torrid time :laugh:

[MTVN]

Bet he won't throw rocks at cars again :idc:

[Shaun]

Can he confirm, at least, the rumour about bears ******** there?

[Crimson Dynamo]

Bet he won't throw rocks at cars again :idc:

:clap1:

[Beso]

sounds like a very naughty kid is to blame for the whole thing.

[lostalex]

to be fair it was pretty dumb/crazy for the kid to start walking through the woods, any sane/intelligent person would just start walking along the road towards home. why did he walk into the woods???

My Mom did this to my brother once, although it was in the suburbs in a =very populated town, but yea, he was being a complete nightmare and she left him by the side of the road, we drove away and she circled the block and came back... i think a lot of parents do this type of thing. my brother just stood there crying, and i definitely felt bad for him, but yea, sometimes parents just get pushed over the edge, so i can sympathize with the parents.
