39-year-old woman arrested over attempted murder of young daughter

Sounds like the woman needed a break. Her call to 119 was a cry for help.

She’s no doubt in charge of 8 people’s meals, and general care of household, yet this “minion of propaganda” has the cheek to label her as “unemployed”.

When did this disrespectful shift denigrating

housewives to unemployed, truly take hold, around the time when they were prodded to work outside instead, and pay taxes?

Why are there less children in Japan?

THIS is your answer.

Unemployed? She sounds very much employed, being a caretaker to seven people.

Well said, fellas. Being a housewife and mother is a 24 hour job, no drinks with the guys after work or golf at the weekend for them. It's about time Japanese men understood this fact. Their clothes don't wash themselves, their meals need cooking and their kids need the discipline they aren't there to give.

I heartily agree with all of you. This denigrating of women must stop.

megumi tanaka from yanai city in yamaguchi prefecture strangled her own daughter

they also named and publicly shamed the woman...

and her daughter!!

Unemployed and living in a rabbit cage with 7 people makes people do strange things.

and who would her boss be?

Unfortunately, everyone would be her boss, and none of them appear benevolent.

Absolutely 100%. That being said, nobody forced her to pop out five kids and if the stress is leading to physical abuse, she and her husband should've stopped after having the first or second...

The daughter's life is in danger living in that environment.

mother may be going insane taking care of 5 kids and a Husband.

and who would her boss be?

that would be the unnamed EIGHTH person, probably the husband's elderly mother...

seniority rules!!

Taking care of 7 people sounds like a full-time job. You are not looking at a childless young couple here.
