Apparently the appalling bullying of a Peruvian schoolgirl in Shizuoka took a distressing and horrendous turn this year. I think the alleged assault is believed to have taken place in April. This Peruvian girl's Japanese female schoolmates drove her out of the music club along with other acts of ijime to isolate her over some time, and then she apparently was filmed by them being raped by them.
The news was translated from a different language news website and it is heartbreaking, with indications that something so sick did take place. The Peruvian Embassy to its credit became involved. In addition hearing about the pressures faced by the mother of the victim just added to the distress - the mother sounds like somebody working at a low skilled job to make ends meet and is separated or divorced from her husband in Japan.He may be Japanese, he may not be.
Whatever, can you imagine being that poor single mother working her guts out to provide for her children and then this horrendous assault has been perpetrated by other females on her school-age daughter. It's vile but it needs to be put out there. Debito has a link to the foreign language newspaper that reported it (it's written in Spanish I think) so if anybody here can translate Spanish is it possible to look at it and let us know in a better translation direct from that newspaper?
