This is so sad. The report doesn't indicate the gender or ethnicity of the baby, so it is afe to assume that he/she is Japanese and therefore the perp is probably a down on his/her luck Japanese who couldn't afford to raise a child. Many Japanese live with their mommies until their 40s. It is a long term commitment having a child. Perhaps schools could teach more about birth control, abortion, and costs of raising children. Killing babies is unacceptable. I think orphanages have drop boxes for unwanted children, kind of like library's do for books, except it's for people. So sad. R.I.P. little guy and enjoy the beautiful harp music in the sky.
