What if one day your family member was suddenly arrested for doing shady part-time work? Crimes committed through illegal part-time jobs have a major impact on the lives of not only the victims, but also those involved and their families. A father whose son was arrested in connection with a specialized fraud case gave an interview. Father, who learned about his son’s arrest through the news: “The victim seems to be quite elderly, so I took the money from him. “I’m filled with regret that I was involved in that,” said a man from the Kansai region whose son in his 30s applied for an illegal part-time job and was arrested for his involvement in multiple fraud cases, on the condition that his image not be filmed. He explained that he had been estranged from his son and had not been in contact with him for about seven years, and that he “learned about the arrest when I saw it on the TV news.” He spoke without being able to hide his confusion at being visited by a reporter. Father: “He wasn’t the type of kid who would do much work. I would go, but I would always quit or take a break soon after. I think I did everything I could as a parent in terms of discipline. Maybe that was a burden. “I’ve been lying since I was little, so I shouldn’t lie like that…” The man repeatedly expressed his feelings of “remorse for the victim,” while also talking about the impact his son’s arrest has had on his family. Father: “We live in fear of what will happen if the neighbors find out. My wife and I have talked about how we can no longer live here.” Continued on NHK 2024/11/29.
It’s weird to say you applied for a part-time job, and I think the mass media is helping to mass produce criminals, but it’s wrong to say you committed a crime.
Japan is a country with a high labor intensity, so if a dropout who can’t even keep a part-time job wants to earn a large amount of money, he or she has no choice but to flee into the shadows.
If you’re living a life of caring for someone and being abused, prison would be heaven for you. And there are loads of people out there who don’t care about their families.
>>22 It’s unlikely that young people today would be better off in prison. This is how they’ve been able to live away from their parents for years without contacting them (even if they’re working some worthless side job). When they get money, they can buy what they want, eat, drink, and use dating apps and games on their smartphones. When they go to prison, they can’t choose what they eat, there are no games, and they can’t use dating apps or anything. Plus, they’re in a shared room, they can’t complain even if they’re surrounded by old men, and they have to do work every day. If there’s a young man who’s happy with this, he’s pretty unusual.
Not only is it illegal to do a part-time job, but a family in my neighborhood was arrested for a hit and run and they were split up and moved away. If it’s illegal, it’s definitely going to end for the family.
“I live in fear of what will happen if the neighbours find out. My wife and I have both said that we can’t live here anymore.” The reporters must have been asking around the neighborhood and they must already know.
