Nothing funny here, just insight about how the world is fraked up sometimes. The story goes that four days ago in Japan, a 35-year old mother claimed her son disappeared, but later admitted to strangling the 6-year old boy with a cell phone strap (not pictured above). No word on why either. Sad.

  • The son was reported to have Developmental Disabilities. Mom was stressed enough with all those negative info about her son’s illness on the net. Her son said something one day that caused her to snap and the story goes…..

    Perhaps it should not be called strap, should be a lanyard by the length. but Japanese just call anything that loops and attach to the phone strap.

  • wow, the new season of heroes is coming up and Hiro’s stand-in is doing this kinda thing? Those kooky celebs

  • a lot of crazy people in the world

  • If they saw my collection of lanyards, they’d drop me in a jail for deadly weapon possession. Well, this is not meant to make fun of, but still it makes me realize that there is no safe piece of any man-made thing.
    To kill own kid with the first thing you got in reach of you hand is sick. Even if the kid had Developmental Disabilities, I think it is the “mother” who actually had some brain disease and disability.
