Thank you for covering this. Throughout his life, he consistently puts his desires over everybody else: his parents, cats, frogs, children, and the victims' families--obviously he's not remorseful. He wanted to keep feeding off of the pain he causes. Since he didn't want to lose his freedom as an adult, instead of killing, he published a book to torture the surviving families all over again. I hope karma gets him good.

He should never have been allowed to glorify his crimes by publishing a book? Disgusting. He was in no way sorry for anything he did.

Is it just me who feels that anyone who murders children should never be released from prison? I believe that sometimes, very rarely, people can be rehabilitated especially if they are were children at the time of the crimes. However, the risk that they will reoffend and do something similar again is, for me, far too great to take the chance. The number of cases I've researched where the perpetrator reoffends after release is shocking. Yes, some don't reoffend but many do and I personally believe that releasing child murderers has repercussions that go far beyond the life of the offender. The family of the children murdered, and the public in general are at risk not to mention their psychological and emotional wellbeing isn't taken into consideration when releasing these offenders and in my opinion, those things are way more important than giving the offence another chance. What do you think? Am I being too judgemental? Is giving child killers the benefit of the doubt and a second chance at a new life as or more important than the emotional and mental wellbeing of the victims' families and the general public? Or should the life of the perpetrator come first? Is it possible for someone who kills children to be rehabilitated? Obviously, a child probably didn't do anything that could motive someone to murder them, such as cheat on them or do anything that an adult might do to somehow provoke an attack... a child killer does it for sexual and/or pleasure purposes and in my opinion, that can't be healed in s person. What are your thoughts? Best wishes from Kerry in England ❤

I can't imagine what it was about Boy A that convinced a parole board to release him. Every red flag was present indicating a dangerous narcissistic psychopath. I also thought it seemed a bit ludicrous to blame comics and video games when allegedly Boy A's actions were an anomaly in Japan and particularly in safe Kobe. I hope Boy A can maintain an uneventful future, for the good of those who now have to live around him.

I don't believe that people who kill children can be rehabilitated, in the most part. The killings are for different reasons than killing adults. Children are completely blameless and innocent, and although obviously killing adults is despicable, it's in my opinion, a completely different kettle of fish when someone kills children. It's invariably for sexual gratification or pleasure and someone that broken can't be fixed and even if there's a slim chance that they can be, I don't think it's worth the risk... imagine the families, the parents not to mention the general public- they will be terrified at knowing this person is walking among them again and imo, those people are victims too and their wellbeing should be considered. There are soooo many cases I can recall where someone is released after killing someone and then, shock horror, they reoffend, having had a psychiatrist sing their praises about how they are a different person now. Well I don't think a child killer can be fixed. And like I said, the risks are too high to even chance it. They lost their chance at living in society. Its not like we'r talking about shoplifting or speeding. Ugh, it's just horrendous. Sorry, rant over. Hope you had a peaceful holiday. Best wishes from Kerry in England ❤

Great job as always from someone who binges on your shows! I find it very disturbing how modern society seems willing in a case like this to accuse the school system, exam pressure, and even the traditional reserve existing for centuries in a national culture and temperament, but never ever ever the violence depicted in the media. That's taboo. Even in this particular case, where this evil killer admitted to have been inspired by violent media. Another token of insanity: so, we protect the identity of a juvenile killer (even after he reaches adulthood), but we allow him to write and publish a memoir in which he defiles the memory of his victims (which are publicly identified) and tortures their families with horrid detail, and to then enjoy the fruits of his success. Which success is basically guaranteed in a society like this. Something is deeply wrong in this picture.

Western (or developed world things because Japan isnt in the west) holidays seem out of touch with reality. Ive seen homeless children suffering in the streets, hell, 15 years ago i was one of them. The west is hollow and doesnt care from the rest of us. Okay, i can get behind this! When the world spits at your face, you spit back. Thats how i lived for years during the war, and i can understand why kids shouldnt be put under too much pressure. A child soldier and a japanese student arent the same thing, but both are manipulated and abused by adults who should protect them! And good for him that he is free. I broke my own chains, mostly because they were of my own making, but he needed the japanese parole board to break his. Im glad that they did.
