A father left his 7-year-old son alone on Mount Fuji. The family was hiking on the mountain. The boy became exhausted. He could not continue the trek. His father did not halt his journey.
Instead, he made the boy wait by himself along the trail. The father pushed forward to finish the climb. The child stayed alone on the mountain for hours with no supervision. Nobody looked after him.
Police officers later found out about the incident. They issued a warning to the father for abandoning his young son unattended on the mountain during their family hike.
