The painful work of the year by the well-known Japanese documentary writer Mitsui Ishii! The source of the pain of the original family is revealed in a sharp and poignant manner! How did a "monster" become a monster?
Three major Japanese tragedies have resurfaced: the case of a child starving to death in Atsugi City, the case of serial murder of infants in Shimoda City, and the case of Adachi Ward being tortured to death by being imprisoned in a rabbit cage.
In an era like this, how much of the truth behind abuse is buried in darkness?
This book attempts to uncover these dark facts.
The three cases selected in the book, the case of a young child starving to death in Atsugi City, the case of serial murder of infants in Shimoda City, and the case of being tortured to death by being imprisoned in a rabbit cage in Adachi City, all have in common the harsh environment in which parents who abused children grew up, and there is a distorted parent-child relationship between each child's parents.
What is love, what is family, what is the weight of life? What kind of life determines that when they become parents, they say "I love you" while abusing their biological children, and even take away the children's lives?
This is a heart-wrenching record of tragedy. We witness the emergence of every "monster". What should we do in order to make the "monster" disappear?
