Story out of Hokkaido, Japan:
The search continues Monday for a 7-year-old boy after his parents admitted to leaving him in the mountains as punishment and that he did not get lost during a hike as they first claimed, police said.
About 130 rescuers and police officers searched for a third day in mountains in Nanae, Hokkaido, after Yamato Tano-oka went missing Saturday, a police spokesman said.
His parents originally told the police that he got lost while the family was walking in the area to pick wild vegetables.
The boy’s 44-year-old father, Takayuki Tano-oka, eventually told the police they left the boy in the mountains on the way home from a park after scolding him for throwing stones at cars on a nearby road. Cont.
