Girl shoves little boy off building to hide video arcade visits 2:13 PM
A 13-year-old girl who pushed a 5-year-old off the edge of a Tokyo building because she didn't want him to tell her mother she had been to a video arcade has been taken into custody, police said.
Miraculously, the 5-year-old survived the 11-meter fall with only light injuries after the branches of a tree cushioned his fall and he landed on shrubbery beneath the building, located in the Takadanobaba district of Tokyo's Shinjuku-ku
The 13-year-old said she regretted what she had done.
"I had lent him
money but he didn't
give it back.
From a while back I had thought he was cheeky,"
"I didn't want him to tell my mother that I was going to the video arcade. I had him sit on the railing of the stair landing and pushed him off. I feel bad about what I did," police quoted the 13-year-old as saying.
Because of her age, the girl cannot be prosecuted. The Tokyo Family Court has decided to investigate the background of the case and has sent the second-year junior high school student to the Tokyo Juvenile Office.
Investigators said the girl led the boy, Sun Jizu, who is of Chinese nationality, to a spot between the fourth and fifth floors of an apartment block at about 4:40 p.m. on Tuesday, and pushed him off.
The boy fell onto shrubbery below. As he was falling the branches of a camphor tree appeared to have cushioned his fall, police said. He reportedly suffered scratches as he fell.
Police said Jizu's 33-year-old mother had taken him to a pachinko parlor at about noon on Tuesday, and he had been playing by himself at a video arcade next to the pachinko parlor.
At about 3 p.m. the girl came to play at the arcade and said to the boy, "What are you doing at the arcade?"
Jizu reportedly replied, saying, "You always come here too. I'm going to tell your mom."
Because the girl had been told not to come to the arcade, she reportedly decided to push the boy off the edge of the apartment block to "shut him up."
The girl had reportedly met Jizu several times before at the arcade, and they knew each other well.
...When they reached
the space between
the fourth and fifth floors,
the girl said to him,"Why don't you climb up onto the fence?"
At about 4 p.m. on Tuesday, the girl led Jizu by the hand to an apartment block about 1 kilometer from the arcade, and they climbed the stairs on the outside of the building together, police said.
When they reached the space between the fourth and fifth floors, the girl said to him, "Why don't you climb up onto the fence?" After making him sit on the fence, she reportedly pushed him off.
Soon after the incident, the girl approached the head of a dry-cleaning store nearby and said, "A boy about 5 years old has fallen from the fifth floor," before going home.
Police said the girl told them she had lent Jizu money in the past but he had not returned it. "I had lent him money but he didn't give it back. From a while back I had thought he was cheeky," she was quoted as saying.
Speaking at a news conference on Friday, an official from the child consultation center that received the girl said the center had received a report about the girl in the past from her school. The school reportedly told the center that the girl found it hard to form relationships with those around her and that she occasionally caused trouble. (Mainichi Shimbun, Japan, June 23, 2004)

Schoolgirl killer says she was inspired by TV murder drama 1:42 PM
SASEBO, Nagasaki -- An 11-year-old girl who admitted to slashing 12-year-old fellow classmate Satomi Mitarai to death at school with a paper cutter has told prefectural police she decided to attack her victim after watching a television drama.
"I watched a TV drama and decided to try (to kill her)," the 11-year-old, who cannot be named because of her age, was quoted as telling police.
The girl, who was taken into custody after the attack on Tuesday, reportedly told police she had planned to kill Satomi four days earlier, and investigators said it was possible scenes in the drama had sparked the attack with the paper cutter.
The drama, titled "Getsuyo Misuterii Gekijo 'Hosutesu Tantei Kiki Ippatsu'" (Monday mystery theater 'the hostess detectives' close call') was broadcast last Monday from about 9 p.m. Through the two-hour installments of the series, three hostesses in a club in Tokyo's Ginza district work together to solve crimes.
In the show on Monday, a real-estate boss and his lover are killed. A total of five victims are attacked on the street in the show, and including flashback scenes, eight scenes portray people being attacked with paper cutters.
The 11-year-old girl under arrested reportedly told police that she had decided to attack Satomi in the same way.
"I saw that drama. I thought I'd do it that way," she was quoted as telling investigators.
Investigators said that on Tuesday afternoon, when the girl sat Satomi down in a chair and cut her throat with a paper cutter, she stood behind Satomi and covered her face with her hand.
Police also quoted the girl as saying, "I had thought of other ways to kill her apart from using a paper cutter."
During a news conference on Thursday, lawyers for the girl, including Mitsuo Hazama and Nozomu Kawazoe, said the 11-year-old had begun to question her actions.
"I wonder why I did it. If I thought and acted properly it wouldn't have happened. I would like to apologize (to Satomi if I could)," the girl was quoted as saying.
Hazama and Kawazoe met and talked with her for about one hour from 9 a.m.
When questioned by police, the 11-year-old reportedly said there was no other trouble between her and Satomi besides the notes and Internet messages. She reportedly said she had not told anyone about the way she was feeling.
Lawyers said the girl had clearly answered questions directed at her and that there appeared to be no need for a psychiatric examination. (Mainichi Shimbun, Japan, June 3, 2004)
