HOLY MOLY: Japanese Boy Left In Woods By Parents Allegedly Found Alive

HOLY BLOODY HELL.
Japanese boy feared dead after being left alone by his folks in the mountains of Hokkaido to punish him for bad behaviour has allegedly been found alive after more than 6 days, according to local authorities.

Rescuers apparently found Yamato Tanooka, who’s only 7, in a disused military building, and local news outlet NHK WORLD reports he’s in relatively good health.
There were grave concerns for the boy’s well being, after his folks’ harsh lesson backfired when left him on a mountain roadside after growing fed up at him throwing rocks at other vehicles and people, only to find he’d disappeared when they returned to get him a short time later.
The odds of finding him alive were particularly slim, as he was wearing only light clothing and was without food or water in a forest known for its bears.

Tanooka’s father expressed deep regret over their actions:

“We have done an unforgivable thing to our child, and we have caused a lot of trouble for everyone. I just hope he is safe.”

But this story, at least, has a happy ending and Yamato will no doubt be one incredibly spoilt child from this day forth.
