hmm, there are a couple of things that makes me wonder about this news...
is there any orphanage or government-run child-care facility in Japan where a mother can surrender her child to because of her inability to take care of him/her? if there is, i think that mother who killed her own son should have at least tried that option...
and i'm also curious about the father...if he is already dead, then, i can understand the situation...but if he is still alive who abandoned his wife and his kid to their fate, i think he should be partly responsible for the death of their son... |
Yes, there are facilities for caring for children. However, he was *19*, not 4 or 5. As he had a disability, he should have also had support from the local health center. What were they doing? Why didn`t they come? I place just as much blame on them as the mother herself. My son doesn`t have any really serious disabilities, and they STILL come to see us all the time. I`m sure they`d be here every other day if he had some serious disability and if I were a single mother.
It`s very sick what she did, but really someone should have intervened somewhere along the line there and didn`t.
