A father abandoned his 7-year-old son unattended on Mount Fuji. The family was walking on the mountain. The boy got tired. He could not continue the trek. His father did not halt his journey.
Instead, he made the boy wait by himself on the path. The father walked ahead to complete the ascent. The child remained stranded on the mountain for hours with no adult around. Nobody watched him.
Police officers later learned of the incident. They issued a warning to the father for leaving his young son alone on the mountain during their trip.
