30. Hey it's all over the world . Dishonor deaths , some church in the US killed a teen for disobeying

the church by beating him, there are deaths for inter racial dating, premarital sex
Beatings of little toddlers to death in the paper every week . You see a form of inappropriate child rearing in your surroundings but it expands past your own eyes unfortunately. You were not raised in the culture so it will not all compute,no matter how lng you have been there it is not your culture and perhaps it is easy to broad blanket what is not the way you were raised and condemn the sum total of child rearing as abnormal and savage.
This mountain abandonment was inappropriate and I am sure most in Asia will not be shakin thieir head and saying yep the kid deserved that punishment really don't care about your refute for all I know you would do the same here with some ethnic or minority community . I see comments like that all the time how all black parents or all Muslims and they know because they live near them blah blah
IMO if this was norm they would not have hesitated to call the cops, although I agree it was probably as much about saving face
In The US after a lot of child or wife abuse deaths there is a claim the child went missing or was abducted , that is a pattern in the world I am surrounded by or sometimes it is about insurance money here and they are found dead after a rouse of false abduction
I do not believe this is the case in the Japan story
Asia has no hold on entitled brats go to UAE or in the US,Entitled brats like the affluenza teen in the papers in jail to 12 yr old ganbangers shooting people in the head oh and the becoming ever more popular in the US mixing guns and toddlers ,. 20 times more likely to be killed in unintentional shootings than their peers in other high-income countries, that's just toddlers and that's not counting when they shoot an adult
No place is perfect and it is not the entire culture that would put their kid on a bear mountain and walk away
Grass is always greener somewhere else and people are strange when you are a stranger IMO
