In-family killing, hard to imagine and understand with normal thinking, has become a social trend in Japan, in particular, in which individual selfishness, misanthropy, immorality and corruption are rampant.

A father who killed his eight-month-old daughter by pouring hot liquid on her was arrested in Ibaraki Prefecture in February and a mother who practiced violence against her two-month-old baby to break its skull was revealed in Tochigi Prefecture shortly ago.

A Japanese newspaper reported the number of children under eighteen suspected to have been mistreated reached an all-time high record of 97,842 last year, 17,590 increase from 2018, deploring the daily occurrences of parents maltreating or killing their own children.

In Saitama Prefecture, a woman choked her mother to death for the mere reason that it was tiring to look after her and in Tochigi Prefecture, a man killed his old mother with a kitchen knife and a younger brother choked his elder brother after stabbing him.

On May 25 in Kanagawa Prefecture, a boy who killed his father described the violence he had suffered from the latter as the motive of his crime, stunning the people.

The above-said facts are an inevitable fruition of the unpopular social system in capitalism where elementary humanity and ethics fall victim to almighty dollar principle and jungle law.

A woman, a resident in Tokyo, was arrested on charges of leaving her own baby uncared for to make it meet death. When investigated by police she said that she had no money for taking the baby to hospital and there was nobody nearby to discuss.

This is the reality of the fin de siecle Japanese society stifling mother's love.

All the facts go to prove the decadent nature of the capitalist society hidden behind the spurious signboard of freedom, democracy and respect for human rights.
