Japan university sorry for death of bullied Indian student
A Japanese university on Monday apologised to the family of an Indian student who committed suicide in 2007, after leaving a note saying he would kill himself because of bullying at school. The male student, then aged 20, at Otemon Gakuin University in Osaka prefecture, jumped from a building three
years ago, leaving a note saying: "The bullying I keep getting at school ... Cannot take it any more."
The student, who was born to Indian parents and grew up in Japan, had earned
Japanese citizenship, a university official said.
Compounding the tragedy, his father, depressed about his son's suicide, later jumped to his death from the same building, according to local reports.
"I would like to express my heartfelt apology to the bereaved family members," said university dean Masayuki Ochiai at a press conference.
The university refused to comment on whether the abuse was racially motivated saying the specific nature of the bullying was not known.
Local media said he had been forced to take his trousers down in front of other people and that he had been nicknamed "bin Laden".
An independent third party panel was created in October to probe the incident after the Sankei newspaper and public broadcaster NHK reported the case.
Japan, a country where more than 30,000 people commit suicide every year, often sees school children kill themselves, with many leaving notes referring to harsh bullying by their peers.

Otemon Gakuin Suicide Japan
Although this is just being reported now, the suicide happened in June of 2007! Although the family of the Indian student who committed suicide asked the Otemon Gakuin University to investigate, the school let this case sit on a shelf for 3 years. The university made no report until the bereaved family hired a lawyer in August of 2010.
This is really sad news. I have not seen this picked up by a lot of news agencies yet, but I really hope this news goes international. I have personally seen cases of exchange students having trouble making friends, having trouble with host families, and even being picked on or disliked by teachers before. This story, however, is even more extreme.

Child Porn Japan
The spread of child pornography-related crime in recent years has been exacerbated by the ease with which both perpetrators and victims can access the Internet.
The trend has contributed to an uninterrupted increase in the number of victimized children in this country, despite ongoing international campaigns to root out child pornography, including sexually explicit photographs and graphic depictions of child abuse.

The trend has contributed to an uninterrupted increase in the number of victimized children in this country, despite ongoing international campaigns to root out child pornography, including sexually explicit photographs and graphic depictions of child abuse.
The number of child pornography victims has set new records each year in Japan, despite government moves to strengthen measures against child pornography. Experts are urging schoolteachers, administrators and parents to recognize the severity of the problem.
Shihoko Fujiwara, representative of Polaris Project Japan (www.polarisproject.jp), a nonprofit organization that provides support to children and women who are victims of sexual abuse and trafficking, said the number of child pornography and child prostitution cases detected in Japan has exceeded 5,000 annually, and that the number was rising year by year.
"One of the reasons for the increase is due to the crackdown [by authorities], but another is that a growing number of children have become involved in the business through the widespread use of the Internet," she said.
According to Fujiwara, a 14-year-old second-year female middle school student was forced to sell sexual services by her classmates and the scene was filmed by male customers.
