Time– A Japanese father stabbed his 12-year-old son to death with a kitchen knife after the boy failed to study for a school entrance exam, officials said.
Kengo Satake, the boy’s 48-year-old father, told police that he “argued with his son for not studying” before a test to enter a private junior high school, according to public broadcaster NHK.
AFP reported that the son, named Ryota, died from loss of blood in hospital on Sunday, as confirmed by officers working in Aichi prefecture in the city of Nagoya.
The father was arrested after hospital staff phoned the police. He told the officers that he had stabbed Ryota “by mistake”.
NHK said that the boy was hoping to gain a place at one of the leading private schools in Aichi prefecture and his father had regularly scolded him over his studies.
Local media reported that the boy’s mother was at work when the incident occurred.
You could have grounded him instead Daddy.
“He must be … corrected …”
izlamo delenda est …
In France, that’s called “père pressure”.

Asian Grading system:

C = Can’t have dinner
D = Don’t come home
F = Find new family
I really think the father was too hard on the boy. Now he doesn’t have a son that he can depend on in his old age. Dad got a double whammy here.
Sounds about right. Kid would have grown up to be useless, probably would have started Jap Lives Matter.
I think that’s called “Throwing the baby out with the bath water.”
Some parents put crazy pressure on their kids. More so in East Asia.
A father & son walk in the woods for a bit of Shrinrinyoku, forest bathing, would have been so much better.

Wow, is he strict!
What we’ve got here is failure to communicate.
Some boys you just can reach and so you get what we’ve got here today.
I don’t like it anymore than you do.
