The news people seem to be reporting a new police scandal every other day, and you can't stop wondering how stupid they are. But the thing that makes me wonder the most is the abduction crime, of a 9-year old girl being held as a slave for 9 whole years. It's insane that this
could happen and that the police couldn't find her.
But in light of all the other scandals, the abduction has fallen out of the news somehow. I wonder why? Are the press focusing on the police scandals in order to get some action, or are they getting a social conscience and have decided to protect the abducted woman from more intrusive coverage?
I hesitate to say that the Japanese press know how to control themselves, but compared to previous big breaking stories, this one has been very well controlled and restrained. What is really going on here?
