On 24 December, a 26-year old woman was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping a 16-year old high school boy in Hyogo Prefecture, but has claimed that she merely invited him to her apartment.
But things took a sudden turn when the minor approached the woman one day, saying he was cutting ties with his family.
According to website Livedoor News, the 26-year-old is a single mother of two whose dream was to enter the entertainment industry.
Japanese netizens took to the Internet to voice their conflicting opinions:“Of course it’s forbidden.
Nevertheless, it just goes to show that adults should be adults and never mess around with minors.
