Police have raided the school and city hall at the heart of the recent Shiga schoolboy suicide scandal, even as ever more disturbing details of the abuse he suffered and the lengths the school went to cover it all up continue to emerge.
The suicide of a 13-year-old boy after a vicious campaign of bullying which his teachers apparently tolerated if not encouraged is fast becoming a national scandal, having been raised in the Diet and reported in international media.
Attention has centred on the efforts of the school to cover up the scope of the abuse the boy suffered and just how much it knew – now the local educational board has revealed the school took not one but two surveys of pupils asking for details about the abuse he suffered.
The second questionnaire received 188 responses, many with similar content to the first – although even more disturbing details emerged, such as the boy “being made to strangle himself in a practice suicide” and having to participate in his own “mock funeral.”
The school says it only managed to investigate and confirm one of the reports, which it found to be “bullying of a pupil from another school.”
At the time it did not tell the parents of the dead boy about the new information, saying it had “found no new information,” and did not even tell them that it had conducted a second survey.
The school has now apologised for not telling the parents, saying it “didn’t notice” the new reports and that its investigation was “inadequate.”
The school further attempted to cover up its findings by forcing the boy’s father to sign a legal contract promising not to reveal the results of the first questionnaire to outsiders, which he says further delayed the truth becoming known.
Meanwhile the city’s mayor has aligned herself with the prevailing winds and admitted the bullying and the boys suicide were connected, and offered to pursue a settlement with the family, even as the school continues to issue statements refusing to accept any connection exists, a situation which has further infuriated the bereaved family.
She now claims part of the reason for her break with the school is that they refused to share the complete results of the second questionnaire even with her.
Those unfortunates still attending the school have also seemingly been subject to the wrath of Internet vigilantes – the school was closed for a day following an anonymous bomb threat, apparently spurious.
The culmination of all this seems to be belated action by the police, almost a year after the boy’s death and after refusing his father’s attempts to file charges no less than 3 times.
Police have just announced a team of 20 investigators have issued search warrants and started searching the school and the local city hall for incriminating evidence, and begun questioning the principal and members of the school board.

About time the police got involved.
More like well past time. I wonder why the parents of this child didn't call the police and report the bullies.
If it was my child, I would have done that.
Ha, you think that the kid TOLD his parents. Sign of someone never bullied.
never told my folks. i know the signs and i just pray my kids don't get or do the bullying
Even if he told people ignore bully reports. Even parents.
i got messed with, but it never lasted for more than a few incidents. i knew how to defend my self, and i was lucky enough to have an older brother who was a loose cannon. so if anyone messed with me and they were significantly older than me, they had to deal with my big brother, the hellraiser of whatever school we were currently in. after i was about 12 or so, i never came across an enemy i could either make my friend or beat down. i prefer peace and diplomacy, so i've only had to get the beat down on a few people, in a serious fight.
all the boys in the neighborhood would gather at my driveway and we would have a free-for-all. i would usually take 3 guys myself and my brother would handle the other two, since they were older. after a while my bro got a job and it was just me. AJ, and bobby were the older ones, aj moved away and bobby liked to hurt people, so i wouldn't let him fight the guys my age. then one day we were in the forest behind his house and jo was afraid to fight him so i said, we'll show you how to fight better, and without thinking when he tackled me, i grabbed his leg with both of mine and broke it by twisting, i think i just tore his ligaments or something. bastard got to skip school for a while and played his ps1 all day. i didn't have to pay the medical bill so all was well.
my dad told me if anyone gives me shit, then punch them in the face. my folks always had my back too, so i never got in trouble at school. but i guess it's different times we live in now, and for some folks an entirely different country.
...man i sure do ramble sometimes. anywho, hope you guys enjoyed the story.
If you guys had read the previous article, you would know they the boy reported his bullying to the school and his parents, and his parents reported it to the police...wich did nothing.
I told my parents when I was being bullied.
You know my little brother was bullied, his bag was found half-filled with water. His books and notebooks were all soaked and good thing no electronics in there.He told my family the day after the incident. Shit just got real the next day. You should have seen the parents of the bullies kneeling for forgiveness.
Priceless.
i got bullied systematically for 5 years by a gang of 3 kids, snapped the one day, all i remember is being dragged of this kid while i was slamming his head into the concrete, got a juve sentence for fighting back, fucked up shit
According to the last article, they did.
Police didn't want to help either.
"His father also approached police and attempted to file a victim report and press charges of assault against the bullies, but police refused to accept that any crime had taken place and have further refused to comment as to why."
And with the School not helping either, the only option left would be to go Vigilante and act yourself, but that's not really part of the Japanese Psyche from my observation.
The whole: "shikata ga nai" or it can't be helped attitude doesn't help with this either.
If I remember correctly, the previous article about this stated that the parents did report to the police but the police ignored them or something along this line. I'm going to re-read the previous news to be sure of this.
Did you read?? The father tried at least 3 times!
Maybe if they act quickly enough they can save that poor bo- oh wait.
so he's dead since last year..?
If you want to get rid of somebody, make them commit suicide. Typical Japanese.
Well, I must say that cops everywhere need some kind of executive intervention to give more shit about a case than they usually care. This is why a murder of, say, some hobo on the street will not be as swift as a high ranking government official(the downtown niggas). Those poor sods will just be shoved under sudden death or suicide cases.
However, speaking to some native Japanese with one of them having experience with the Japanese NPA, this is more obvious due to Japan's own cultural weakness.
I think this act of raiding the school is a farce though. I mean, ONE FUCKING YEAR after its all said and done? We're not living in CSI's world where evidence lasts for eternity and investigators can convict a suspect after 3 days.
Except unlike the old days they let you die with honour (to an extend), they will spit over your grave and mock you even after your death...
America: So, look who's the barbarian now?
Japan: [looks away, pretending to hear nothing]
America: At least our justice system serves and protect people of all ages. Can you do the same?
Japan: [walks away]
Is this some ultra stealth sarcasm I'm failing to detect, or are you simply deluded?
yup, coz americans don`t put people in prison without charge now do they? guantanamo?
considering how often rape and other crimes are over looked, how often a false alagation of touching kills a person, and how apathetic police are in japan in general... id say that the "bigger fuckup" award goes to japan.
everybody knows niggers, wetbacks and sandniggers aren't people anyways
America, Fuck Yeah!
"Is this some ultra stealth sarcasm I'm failing to detect, or are you simply deluded?"
Considering that rest of the world is way worse, but try to accentuate all the negatives of US and never accept the positives like a bitch you are, I'd say deluded one is you. Accepting any positives must be too painful for you to bear, no?
America has lots of positives.
It's 'justice system' is not one of them.
@11:51 It is in a relative sense, compared to all other justice systems that either don't have that much of a burden and claim to be better while having an easier lot, or outright corrupt and ignorant ones like in japan.
Get your facts in order. No other nation that is in situation of america (27% immigrants/minorities, vast land only truly outclassed by russia, 310 million people only exceeded by china and india both abbreations and have far far worse 'justice systems') can claim to do better. Just look at how japs are squealing and yelping when they have just under 2% immigrants. Can you imagine how shitty it would be if there was even 12 % immigration in japan?
03:17 awww does guantanamo scare the little pussy? that is a military installation, and laws of war are different then laws of peace. They were stupid enough to fuck with people, and now people are fucking them. I laugh whenever some ignorant cunt who can't deal with island ownerships or less than 5% immigration talks about how they can criticize anyone else.
Sometimes laws much adept to their situations and especially in application. No protection is given to those that deny them, and those who spend their lives bitching have no right to tell others to follow any rules. Fairness is a two-way street. Walk your talk before talking shit.
Never go to a shitkicker school where the teacher's are just as bad as the students did ya?
Every nation is fucked up. Deal with it.
Oh, oh, I wanna try!
Rest of the world:"So, are you done being a complete retard, America?"
America:[repeatedly runs head first into a concrete wall while being fat]
Rest of the world:"Ha ha ha, we are so much smarter than this strawman parody of you! At least we have basic human intelligence."
America:[leaps ass first onto a fire hydrant and swallows it]
See how witty that was? No? Well you only disagree because you're a deluded racist who molests small animals and can't handle the TRUTH.
wtf you guys?
both of you are stupid bitches.

Try Canada, immigrant rate is much higher, though total population isn't but not as much money to spend or other problems.

And Japan is still more civilised than we Americans. In Japan the person who was bullied only killed himself. In the US, he certainly would have brought a gun to school and killed other people.
Don't they all deserved to die anyway.?
Fuck yeah America, the land of the brave and courageous.
Japan, the land of the coward.
America... the land of the Man-child.
killing the bullies to defend oneself is a hell of a lot better than killing yourself, cause they still win.
If you think being an inactive and servile bitch is being 'civilized', than you need to check yourself. I love it when yellow monkeys talk as if they moral high ground when they just delude themselves by telling them this shit ^^
I think 11:15 Anon has a point: The collateral damage usually turns out to also be guilty, if only indirectly, so it's not all bad. One should at least try to fix the problem before self-aborting.
Yeah, Columbine was about justice alright. Only people who deserve it die when you shoot up and bomb buildings. Those kids were badass freedom fighters and heroes who stuck up for their cause rather than taking it lying down. If they were brown, though, they'd be evil terrorists murdering innocents for their mislead fanaticism.
Man, I hate all those fanatics and weak-willed cogs in the system. They couldn't choose the only correct choice and be born white so their actions could be justified. And now all these deluded racists are defending them out of their bias against the master race.
On the other hand Japanese bullies know how to mindbreak and torture their targets enough to NOT bring a gun to school and kill everyone and instead reducing them into a cowardly wreck to silently snuff out their own existence. American bullies are probably doing it wrong if the target still has the courage to go on a murderous rampage.
They made his life a living nightmare.
It would have been better if he brutally murdered them as payback.
He'd still have his life and the monsters wouldn't have won.
Totally disagree with "civilized" argument. There is nothing civilized about being tormented/bullied to the extent that kid was. Nor the action of the school, students, teachers, & police. That kid was reduced to a punching bag by everyone and all that the teachers could do was mock him and play along. If you call that civilized, you really should reevaluate your idealized view of Japan.
Iirc, America is a whole continent, what could have make you think that America use one whole justice system for the whole continent? You must be delusioned.
North America is a continent divided into multiple countries, all of which are self governed and responsible for enforcing their own legal systems.
The United States of America (USA), specifically, is divided into 50 states all of which have the responsibility of enforcing laws determined by the states themselves (co-operation between states for the purpose of law enforcement can also occur).
Each state is an independent body comprised of multiple levels of management united by the Government of the United States of America which is subdivided into 3 branches all of which have multiple levels of management and positions dedicated to the management of the next lower level. There also exist multiple other organizations dedicated to checking, balancing, and ensuring rules and standards of conduct are enforced.
It's a complicated system designed to ensure that no power has so much power that it may abuse all other parts of the government.
I got a little off topic there but the point is you need to get a little edumacation, mister 2channer, before you go around saying things in poor english where people like me will be there to correct you.
Your point ? I don't see it, neither is my fuck given to you, as America is a continent, I don't care what crap you're sputting or just to misdirect the point of the post.
And not everyone has english as their main language, english is my third language.
And my point is, you who is in edumacation, should not go around correcting ppl by collecting random fact that you aren't even sure what you're talking about just to be a troll. There are many places to be a troll, but not here and not now.
"There are many places to be a troll, but not here and not now."
Seems this little jap's got an attitude problem. There are many places to be an uppity jap, but doing that might end with you shipped home in the bag. You need to learn to check yourself before spouting shit in broken english. Now scram back to 2ch. You got shit to say, take to it in real life. My invitation is open at the middle of Macarthur Park - so unless you want to mouth off, quit bitching.
Vulcan300 making a mockery out of japanese with bitchy broken english and naive 'pride'. Do they call being a mouthy bitch as having balls in japan? Really, inquiring minds would like to know.
Serious lol at this idiot talking shit about 'misdirecting' when his bitching to the OP was clearly a misdirect-intended, as anyone who is remotely aware of the context knows that he was talking about US, as it is referred to 'America' in many informal and formal context, while the entire continent is not referred to as America but as Americas/Western Hemisphere.
Learn some shit before trying to be a little bitch.
I sure he mean United States of America or America for short, dumbass.
and all of this organizations only to guarantee you illusion of freedom and democracy..
watchdog groups, look it up.
LOL downvoting bitch asians are squealing when the tables are turned even in their own game.
Lol bitching about downvotes. That's just sadder.
No Asians come to Sankaku, we're all either American's who simply like Japanese culture, American's who are ate up with anime so they goto the conventions dressed like a fat version of Naruto, Europeans who goto conventions dressed up like a gay smelly version of Naruto, Russians that simply want to troll people, or whatever else country here because of the free pics of hot Japanese chiks. I'm a mix of the 1st and last options. Oh yeah, I forgot the white or black guy coming on here pretending to be Japanese, while using romaji, that also probly goes in the fat version of Naruto catagory.
@11:50 YOU FORGOT ABOUT THE LOLICONS!!!
Pipe up, chinks. Or are all your balls shrunk because of all the fucking your ancestors received at the hand of everyone else?
I love how chinks make bitch moves then try to convince themselves it makes them 'spiritually victorious'. LAWL. Go read Story of Ah Q and think about how you haven't taken a single step forward in the last 100 years.
"America: At least our justice system serves and protect people of all ages. Can you do the same?"
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I direct your attention to numerous attempts are voting down your post as a proof your comment hit the mark. Not to mention all the delusional and butthurt gooks trying to refute it.
I knew it, in the states or other "barbarian" countries, teachers and bullies are prosecuted unlike those in japan. The gooks as you say are just ignorant, thus true to their nature: denial.
It's only a thirteen year old boy. As if the world needs more of those, especially mopey ones that can't take a bit of harmless bullying.
Call me when its a thirteen year old girl. Then I'll be outraged.
Not sure if stupid or just plain retarded.
Probably a bully IRL
Just a failed /b/ troll probably. They show up from time to time.
You lot are total idiots if you haven't realized your being trolled by 5:28.
Those to yield to suicide because of bullying are weak creatures. Why would you allow people to get on your nerves? It's all a game.
Life isn't black and white like that dumbass retard
At that age, constant bullying would break anyone. Shut your mouth, you don't know what the hell you're saying. It's not about weakness. It's about being young and not knowing any better.
If you are done playing the poor little victim and woe-is-me faggot, grow some pride and a fucking spine.
Back at that age, I knew some kids who was experienced and good enough to break adults on a regular basis. Being young (13 is not young, you are already a man and should act like one) is no excuse. Being bullied in the first place, complete with your mentality that you are being bullied is a proof in itself you don't know shit beyond acting like a poor-little-me-world- owes-me-a-favor-and-is- fucked-up victim. Amazing how people just dig their own graves.
@10:31: That logic only applies to people brought up in a proper environment. Obviously you are the alpha omega male and can do any fucking thing, even as a kid. (your a kid til you can get a proper part-time job, which you can at about 15-16)
if basically everyone is out to get you, like the bullies after that kid in this article were, then you can just Man up and tough it out. i don't care WHO YOU ARE, if noone is there for you when THAT kinda shit is happening, you. will. break.
And if you are over 30 years old and wrote that. Shut the fuck up. bullying tactics change every few years and they get worse.
Someone who has never been tormented, constantly, endlessly by their peers should not be one to judge.
This kid was in the worst kind of situation. He told people about the harassment and was either ignored, or the authority figures themselves began taking part. The kid was trapped and probably felt like he had nowhere else to turn. He was surrounded on all sides. Have you ever faced a situation like that. No? THEN SHUT YOUR IGNORANT WORTHLESS TRAP!!!
You're a weak and terrible excuse for a human being. Go crawl under a rock you fucking troll.
11:50 you keep telling yourself 'no one has experienced what I have' while others make a bitch out of you. If you are weak, then I suppose you need to delude yourself somehow right?
What you or he 'felt' is meaningless. Since when does your personal feelings define reality or its hardships? Typical spoiled and weak generation of today - they think what they perceive and feel is the world, and it should revolve around their 'feelings'. It's what he did that counts. Many other people gets 'trapped' and can deal with it just fine, much better than what this kid did. It all comes down to being alpha or not and your fortitude and arrogance/pride as an individual. You can make all the excuses in the world, but nothing will change the fact that you can't deal with a situation that others can.
@11:50 Don't try to think anyone who faced a same situation folded like this kid did. I myself went through far worse (or at least they tried to make it so, but didn't work), and I look back and laugh at the way it turned out. You typical way of saying 'no one who went through the same thing I did could have possibly done better!' stinks of self-pitying and self-absorbed and naive mentality that can't think outside of your own convenient world.
@10:31 Yes and I'm sure those 13 year old kids that "break adults" on a regular basis grew up to be fine gentlemen.
you fucking know shit. I also went through a lot but luckily had just enough strength to survive and not give in although every day was like a fucking hell and nightmare that i will never forget.
i am now a grown up, an adult that has a successful life in every possible way. the nightmare has ended. i managed not to kill myself or anyone else.
if you have not went through all that then you know shit. that poor boy went through fucking a lot lot more than i did. in that kind of situation you either kill yourself or others. he just chose one of the options left.
either way you lose.
no third way for most of them.
poor boy.
the problem is in mentality. in this kind of situation you start treating everyone as an enemy(which is correct). the only problem is that you stop responding to bullying, you stop defending yourself. until the very end when you suddenly explode.
instead you should try defending yourself every fucking day. show those bastards that you are no sissy - most of them are and you are stronger cause you went through all of this.
start talking back, punching back, laughing at them, show that you don't care or at least make an angry face, don't forgive. for god's sake do anything, start jumping or singing like stupid. it cannot get worse anyway.
don't be scared, if you start responding to them one by one, they start changing a bit.
if that doesn't help do the opposite: start crying or punching randomly. show some REACTION - reaction is most important thing to show them that you are human being, that you have your honor, pride, your fucking rights, show them that you respect yourself, they will start changing, perhaps - but you will never know if you don't try.
do all this but for the fucking god's sake don't kill yourself and don't fucking kill them - if you feel that you still have some strength left. you are a hero of this story - try to survive through it, grow up and get a normal life, wife, job, friends - it is all waiting for you there at the end of the road.
this boy did not have this strength and he is really a poor boy..

If you have a job you're probably working not in a poisoned workplace, you pampered tissue wad. Go work in a poisoned workplace environment and not having the option to sue or quit. Then come back and report after a year.
Having dead birds stuffed into your mouth and being made to strangle yourself is not a game.
It could if you volunteered to the dare. Nothing is a game otherwise.
I know it's similar to the 'sex is rape if it wasn't agreed upon' and I'm okay with it. I implemented my interpretation of bullying as such and never cared about the protests of stupid.
