If he were my child
The 14-year-old Kobe boy who killed at least two children in 1997, beheading
one of them, is soon to be set loose following his "rehabilitation" in a
juvenile correctional institute. The 12-year-old who killed "Shun-kun" in
Nagasaki on July 1 will no doubt be similarly treated because of his age.
As a woman who has given birth to two children, I would not wait for the law
to take its course and set my child "free" without consideration for the
victims. I would personally strangle any child of mine who committed such an
act so that such a reprehensible thing would not be repeated. They could
hang me for it, but I would have no way to make compensation to the victim's
parents. I would not blame myself for what my child did, but I would not
forgive my child for taking another's life.
They make much of the pain a woman experiences for giving birth to a child,
but such pain must be nothing compared to that of the mother whose child has
been killed.

What is it with women and this labor pain crap. I mean, is labor pain the
only thing that makes having a baby special?
Especially the part "I would personally strangle any child of mine who
committed such an
act so that..." is ultimate bull.

Slight clarification: 14 at the time of the crime (May 24, 1997)
>who killed at least two children in 1997,
He started out with killing cats and pigeons.
Before the beheading incident, he whacked two 6th grade girls over the
head with a hammer (Feb. 10, 1997).
On March 16, 1997, he stabbed a 4th grade girl in the gut. He then
whacked another 4th grade girl over the head with a hammer, killing
her.
If you can find a copy of the July 2, 1997 edition of "Focus", you can
see a picture of his face. Lots of outlets refused to sell it. The
ones that did carry it quickly sold out.

Obviously a person who has no child, and probably shouldn't.
