[Space_Chief]

30 year old Nara prefecture middle school teacher teacher pays truant 13 year old schoolgirl a home visit where he claimed she annoyed him so much, he repeatedly punched her in the face, fracturing her cheek. What's worse is that it looks like he won't be arrested or even lose his job.

He claimed: “I was disciplining her for being absent and coming late without reason, and ended up flying off the handle and going too far.”

Where's the fail? He hasn't been suspended, or charged, and is on leave.

Why are you not surprised? It's pretty shocking. Stories like this happen sometimes but for a country of 120 mil people, they're very, very rare.

I know that "getting off" has other meanings too, ... but hey maybe it's to pull you okes in ...

I plead innocence.

Rules are different in Japan.

Although we should be grateful we're not in Russia.

In Soviet Russia school kids hit you!

In Soviet Russia authorities were brutal. And school kids did not hit teachers. It would be lock up. Besides you were a pioneer when a kid, so you got used to the whole USSR Number 1/Comrade First Secretary is God thing. You respected authority.
