Regarding the child abuse death I wrote in the previous article, the child's mother was also arrested on the same suspicion as his husband today, because the police considered that she has assaulted her daughter in conspiracy with her husband.
The police decided that not stopping her husband from assaulting their daughter consisted "conspiracy."
It is also said that the mother has been assaulted by her husband.
Anyway, it stands to reason that she was arrested, even if she didn't assaulted her daughter directly or she was a victim of DV.
I think she should be arrested. No wonder.
But, it is a kind of epoch-making thing.
I've never heard that a parent who doesn't abuse a child directly is arrested.
I hope this decision becomes natural.
And, the penalty which is imposed on people who committed child abuse death becomes much heavier.
The current penalty was surprisingly light.

Abused children are abandoned by all, no matter what they try to ask for help.
Regarding the child abuse death I wrote in the previous article, terrible cruel facts are becoming known one after anther. It's usual. After a child's death, always many facts come out, which show that it was definitely possible to save the child life by taking measures at some point.
This time, I really realized that;
In the current Japan, there is no way for abused children to run way from his/her cruel situation, there is no place or person where they can ask for help or to protect them.
Usually, abused children don't or can't complain, speak out or ask for help.
That's why we adults, people around children, school and child consultation offices must pay attention and take prompt actions, unfortunately those don't function at all though.
The case this time revealed more horrible thing.
Even though a child speak out and ask for help, they are never helped, supported or protected. Terrible.
This time, the victim Mia asked for help. It must have needed tremendous courage to do that. What a courageous girl. It might be one of the reason that she is 10 years old and a bit older than children died of parents abuse in the past.
Child consultation Office, the School Board and School
She wrote that she has been abused by her father on the questionnaire conducted by her school. The purpose of questionnaire was asking if you are bullied. But she wrote about abuse by her father, probably gathering all her courage.
After that, the child consultation office temporary took her in the protection facility. However, she was taken back to her home and the child consultation office never visited her after that. I can't believe that!
More horrible thing is that the school board handed the questionnaire she wrote to her father! What!
The questionnaire said that all you wrote are kept a secret, in order to encourage children to speak out.
Mia believed her school. I think telling the school was her last desperate hope.
It is believed that handed the questionnaire to her father promoted abuse.
The school board did worse than doing nothing.
Since beginning of January, Mia didn't go to school because her father didn't let her to do. Her father told the school that she was now in Okinawa and would be absent from school for a month.
Thinking what's been going on, I think that everyone think of something wrong.
However, the school did nothing for 2 weeks and finally told the child consultation office which was too late. Mia was died.
Is there any other way for her to do?
Helpless. Cruelly helpless.
Neighbors
Some neighbors were interviewed and said that they often heard her cry loud and heard father yell and shout abuse.
In spite of that, no one did anything...
MOTHER
The person who do something most should be her mother. What has she been doing? This is a question which almost all people have.
The news don't mention anything about her mother, intentionally.
Mia asked the school for help, which means she knew her mother doesn't help her.
Mia has been abused for a long time. Since January this year, her father didn't let her go to school. During that, her mother was also there. And Mia was abused until death occurs.
She was able to protect her and run away with her. No, she must have done it.
Many mothers, who abuse their children or leave his husband to abuse their children, are someone who put much more premium on being a wife and being with her husband than being mother.
Even, they want to keep being female, not become a mother.
If you ask me, such people must not be mother. must not have children.
School, the child consultation office, neighbors and even mother don't help children, even if they ask for help.
How are abused children extricated? Who can save them?

Escalating irritation and a feeling of helplessness
A child was killed by the abuse again. The news program reported it today. Child abuse death won't stop here in Japan.
Every time I hear child abuse death news, or every time I think of how they had been treated cruelly and inhumanly and how they had been feeling painful, excruciating, scary and hopeless, around my stomach starts aching and my heart even starts beating because of anger, irritation from a feeling about I have to do something, and because of a feeling of helplessness which is that I have no idea what I can do to help those children.
What and how should I do?
I have to do something.

Aung San Suu Kyi, not only incompetent and ill-natured, but inhumane-natured
Since the Rohingya crisis starts making headlines, Aung San Suu Kyi, her attitude toward this serious issue has been castigated by the world.
If you ask me, she never deserved to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in the first place.
I have recognized it for some time.
She is incompetent.
Her father was beloved (or even has been beloved) by Myanmar people as the Father of the Nation of modern-day Myanmar.
She is his daughter. Just it. And she had been in the UK while Myanmar was under tough situation. She is just a wet-behind-the-ears princess. It's impossible for her to lead the nation.
She is ill-natured.
It's a well-known story that she is arrogant, selfish and awful.
I had been hearing about such her personality, and I realized that it was true when I watched her interview in 2013. The interview surprised me because she was really "a jerk." I thought that if she was a bit smarter, she would have pretended to be a nice person, or at least a descent person. I wondered if this pampered princess was never aware of that.
Then, the Rohingya crisis has made one more thing about her obvious.
She is a inhumane person.
She is pretending to address the Rohingya crisis on the surface.
She does nothing. One of the reasons is that she is incompetent, but the bigger reason is that she is not willing to solve the problem at all.
Her thought / mind is definitely the same as the Myanmar government, the army and other Buddhists who discriminate against Muslims.
For example,
e.g.1
Ashin Wirathu, the leader of the anti-Muslim movement in Myanmar and leads the 969 movement, who is the mastermind behind the Rohingya massacre, was a supporter of Aung San Suu Kyi. So she didn't proactively stop the 969 movement which has been committing this brutal massacre as well as the government and the army.
e.g. 2
In the BBC's interview, the BBC's presenter Ms. Mishal Husain repeatedly asked Aung San Suu Kyi to condemn anti-Islamic sentiment and the wave of mob-led massacres of Muslims in Myanmar. And Aung San Suu Kyi DECLINED TO DO SO!
She said, "I think there are many, many Buddhists who have also left the country for various reasons.” Huh? Her comment is obviously for keeping Buddhists in Myanmar being her supporters. Politics.
One article says "The Nobel laureate’s vague attitude towards the violence suffered by Myanmar’s Muslim minority has alarmed even her most devoted fans."
After the interview, surprisingly, really surprisingly, she took her anger out on the people around her saying, "No one told me I was going to be interviewed by a MUSLIM."
e.g.3
Mr. Bill Richardson who was a member of the Myanmar advisory board panel on Rohingya. He said that the advisory board was mainly a whitewash and a cheerleading for the Myanmar government. He has quit the pannel.
According to him, when he called for the release of two Reuters reporters in the meeting who were detained by the Myanmar government just because they were covering in the living quarter of Rohingya people, Aung San Suu Kyi was "FURIOUS."
-------------------------------
Again, she is never deserved to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Over 360,000 people have signed the petition to revoke her Nobel Peace Prize.
Some other awards she got have been already revoked, such as;
The Freedom of the City award (The Dublin City Council) was revoked in Dec 2017.
The Elie Wiesel Award (the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum) was revoked in Mar 2018.

The Rohingya people
It's been some time since many medias started to report daily regarding the Rohingya crisis. It shows no sign of resolution or even small improvement.
Although the world sees it as a incredibly significant problem, Japan rarely covers this topic, and so most of Japanese people don't know of it.
I've attended a symposium about Rohingya crisis and it was explained from various perspectives, such as "Rohingya people in the eyes of Myanmar people (Burmese) and Buddhists, the current situation of Bangladesh, activities of the Rred Cross and other NGOs, situations and attitudes of other countries (India and Bangladesh), ARSA and so on. It was very useful for understanding the Rohingya crisis.
After that, I also did a search about, it's history, the background, the current situation, etc.
I'm wondering, or even angry about why religion makes people so brutal.
Although people in NGOs/NPOs have been facing cruel situations for a long time as their job, many of them say that they have never seen this ghastly situation.
What Myanmar has been doing is definitely "ethic cleansing", but what they do is not just killing people but doing as much as horrible, cruel, brutal, appalling...
They kill men and rape women brutally in front of their families. They burn away the entire their village trapping the people in a house. They even throw babies in the fire. Why can human do such things?
In terms of cruelty, I think Myanmar is much more terrible than Nazi.

I'm back here.
I haven't written in so long,,, too long! About 2 and a half years!!
Unfortunately there isn't major progress in the past 2.5 years, which is something I deeply regret, but it doesn't mean that I made no progress.
Goal Clarification
My vision specified in at the top of this blog page isn't changed. To accomplish the vision, I have had a bit more specific missions and action plans.
I won't write about the details, but roughly speaking,
2 pillars in the first decade,
The 1st pillar which is about education is something I have had for a long time. I wanted to focus on children out of Japan, because Japanese children are much richer in many ways than children in terrible situation in the world. However, I have added the 2nd pillar, because too many cruel child abuse cases which can be described as "brutal" have been reported in Japan in the past several years. Unfortunately, almost all the cases were revealed after children were killed.
Clinical psychology
As one of the action plans, I've decided to learn clinical psychology.
I believe clinical psychology could go long a way to help children in the filed. I'm now studying for entering graduate school. I don't think it's easy to become a clinical psychologist, and before that, it's hard to enter graduate school. But I'll try. I have to say that what I want to is not becoming a clinical psychologies, but helping children.

Malala's Father
Since the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize for 2014, Malala Yousafzai began to be drawn attention, I have thought that I admire her father more, as I wrote here before.
I encounterd the presentation given by her father, Ziauddin Yousafzai, in March 2014 at TED.
In the societies where women are oppressed, it must be very rare and difficult that people like him emerge. I hope the number of people like him increases.
