As a Japanese in my 50s I have to clarify something clearly important to everyone here. Japanese have the No. 1 longevity in the world with a large population of easily well over 100 yrs old of age because they eat so healthy. Imagine their “children” are in their 80s or at least in their 70s trying to take care of them when they are so old themselves. Japanese culture represents respecting the elderly more than most countries. Pray for those “children” who are seniors trying to care for their “elderly”parents’ physical and mental health. My parents took great care of all my grand parents in their 90s and lived happily.

Yep, that's what I am trying to tell, this reporting is clearly making it sensational. I mean look at the wording, " Every eight days in the decade to 2021, an average of one elderly Japanese person was killed by a member of their own family or committed suicide after killing a relative they were caring for, according to a study released this month " I mean yeah, this clearly is a problem, "That's nearly 500 elderly people who got killed by family members in the decade leading to 2021 " mind you that's in a country of 120 million people whose 40 percent of population is above 60. But they got to get the views for making sensational claims, so they somehow worded it differently. Imagine the views it would get by wording it as " nearly 500 Japanese elderly get killed by their family member in a decade " and " in every 8 days one elderly person get killed by their own family in a decade " 😂😂" Journalism "😂😂 This news came right when Japan was planning to export Patriot missiles to USA, who will send them to Ukraine.

Mind you about 40 percent of 120 million Japanese are above 60. That is literally better than 98 percent of the countries in the world.

I watched my grandmother with dementia for less than a week and felt exhausted. Daytime was fine, but nighttime and Sundowner's syndrome wore me out due to sleep interruptions. I hope I can take enough care of my health in the future to remain active and independent until I pass.

After reading dozens of comments here, it is clear that while the doctors are capable of keeping people alive, they cannot make them young again, and it is the responsibility of our society to make sure that people are treated decently as their lives wind down to an end. This will mean training more people in care of the elderly, development of better technology for that care, careful monitoring of patients’ quality of life, and possibly considering euthanasia when the quality of life is gone. Our whole approach to life, death, and medicine has become way too dependent on MONEY, and we need to work on that, TOO!

This brings back memories of my time in elementary school (I think it was 5th grade) where I read a short story in one of the Houghton Mifflin literature collection books. The story was about a Japanese man and his elderly mom. He was ordered by the village leader to take her up to the mountains and let her die there. But he couldn't bring himself to do it, so he brought her back and hid her in a secret room of his hut. When the villagers ran into alot of problems, the man looked to the advice and wisdom of his mother to solve them. When she was able to deter an attack from another village lord, the people praised her for her life-long experiences and feedback on remedies. It was a happy ending, but it made me sad that they would resort to such a shameful action.

I do not support euthanasia, and I cared for both my parents and am now caring for my MIL. It is HARD people. Not everybody can do it. It can be too expensive wiping out all of the money in the family. Some Alzheimer's patients get physically violent and are too hard for someone to handle. It should be shared care among surviving family members, but is often dumped on just one. At best it is a very difficult situation. At worst, it is unmanageable. My heart breaks for families in this situation. Be kind. Help anyone who needs it. Pay it forward. Give people a break. In this season of love and hope. Be there. God bless you.

Japan is too Cruel of a society... No wonder suicide rates are soo high... Everyone is under soo much pressure and stress of all kinds. 😢

400 deaths in 10 years? Pretty sure the US has more than that in a day. The problem arises because jobs do not pay enough for one spouse to stay home and care for children and/or parents. Having a mother that died at just shy of 97 years of age I can tell you, it takes a village to care for one elderly person. I thank God we had that village.

That's what our government wants to happen, if we die they don't have to pay social security etc ....😢

It's not exactly the same but I helped care for my older brother when he was diagnosed with Cancer at age 31. He made it just passed his 32nd. He always took care of us younger siblings and any young children. RIP Todd. Miss ya bro! Glad I was there till the end.

Life is brutal and humans are cruel.

This is happening in India for ages indirectly - in different forms. Putting them in old age homes, or abandoning them completely by throwing out of their own property, and so on.

My Dad is 94 and we are blessed that he can afford assisted living.

I'm struggling to understand how these murders are proven?

The elderly here in America are being priced out of housing all over our country. Very few can afford a one bedroom apartment in any state. The nomad population (those who live in their vehicle) has risen and the homeless population is out of control in every single city. The average cost of a one bedroom apartment is now $1,700 while the average Social Security check is only $1,600. Even if they owned their homes property taxes and medical care costs leaves them unable to afford food, maintenance and transportation

I mean look at the wording, " Every eight days in the decade to 2021, an average of one elderly Japanese person was killed by a member of their own family or committed suicide after killing a relative they were caring for, according to a study released this month " I mean yeah, this clearly is a problem, "That's nearly 500 elderly people who got killed by family members in the decade leading to 2021 " mind you that's in a country of 120 million people whose 40 percent of population is above 60. But they got to get the views for making sensational claims, so they somehow worded it differently. Imagine the views it would get by wording it as " nearly 500 Japanese elderly get killed by their family member in a decade " and " in every 8 days one elderly person get killed by their own family in a decade " 😂😂" Journalism "😂😂

We cared for all our family, it was not a burden, but a privilege. Caring for my mum until her 103rd year was the happiest time of our lives, we had real fun. Just my husband and myself left now, social care hopeless here in the UK, we shall care for each other to the end.

And when there are 2 parents in the family both needing attention? And amidst that, how do you cook, clean, do laundry, look after children etc?

But yeh I got sick in November after veing out in cokd damp air without a scarf

My parents and infact every family member who are getting old and are old say they would rather leave this life while they can do tasks and not live in a vegetative state. Not because they know they won't be taken care of, but because they dont want to turn into a burden and they are seeing others older to them, how it is. So it scares them to lose control and not know what they are doing. Not remembering faces. Not knowing whether they did do something or not.

The most rewarding time in in a human life is to offer your entire time to take care of some one in need.

There us no difference....... And the "reward" is of immeasurable value that no one never ever can take away from you...

As long as its not selfish

There is such a thing as 'care-giver' fatique, and unfortunately this does happen. But it isn't isolated to only Japan, so this reporter isn't being at all fair. It happens in India too!

This is a very difficult issue. My ex mother in law spent the last 6 years in a nursing home with dementia. My wife had passed away 6 years earlier, and my mother in law lived 1,300 km from us. My kids hardly knew their grandmother, since she rarely visited. The kids went a couple of times to visit, but were frustrated because grandma was clueless who the people were. It can be very sad life for many people

And they used to talk about how much they cared for the elderly.

My mother lived with us for ten years after dad died. At age 94 we reluctantly placed her in an assisted living facility. She lived until just shy of 100. I wish she were still with us.

I took care of my Mom, Aunt, Doggie, and Dad. I couldn’t stay out late, always had to be home, and basically cheated out of my 50s. Now I’m on my own I don’t want to take care of ANYTHING! House Repairs ok get a Landscaper, start cleaning out stuff but that’s it.

I'm interested in getting the source material for this story. Living in Japan, and having my in-laws pass away and my experience is very very different to this story.

But not just that. This story doesn't make sense. There is CRIME in every country. If you look statistically....family members are killing family members for their own reason WORLD WIDE. It mat have nothing to do with having to CARE for them. It could have been an argument, disagreement or anything that led to killings....BUT THAT'S WORLD WIDE. As in INDIA, nobody has ever murdered a FAMILY MEMBER?Or in Ethiopia 🇪🇹 or in Russia or in America?

I checked the numbers, they are correct about the 1 every 8 days thing. This is insane. Imagine how many have gotten away with it.

This is sad, and should not be happening but this is why as a society you should have a good birth rate.

And here in India, a certain businessman wants us to compete with Japan by working for 70 hours a week. Japan is a failed society even though they might be economically well off, but of what use is the economy, if you aren't alive to reap its benefits? The social fabric of Japanese society is damaged, the Japanese are dying due to stress, killing themselves due to loneliness, not dating and marrying as they don't get enough time and hence not producing future generations for the country and yet this businessman will only look at one aspect i.e. the economy and gift wrap it under the garb of nationalism only to emotionally guilt-trip people and manipulate them to fill his own pockets.

Americans don't work much and it doesn't stress them out or drive them crazy. They want everything for free; Healthcare, tuition, food, house,drugs and they complain about people on SS

I have lived in Japan more than 30 years, it's my home. this video has a considerably misleading title and on-screen headlines (but hey, we won't get any clicks if we don't sensationalize)..... the fact is, many elderly, and many middle-aged and misfit "children" of oldsters just don't know what to do, how to cope.... exhausted! so yes, in some cases, they do kill their spouse or parent. it's a case of desperation, and that stems from a lack of support, facilities, and education. more often than not, they kill themselves afterwards. notwithstanding all the guff about what a group-oriented, homogeneous and caring society Japan is, all very well if you're in the group, many aren't, they are in fact, isolated, and desperate. it's really not as simple as "Japan's young are killing heir parents". I suspect that more oldsters are killed by 'carers' in 'homes', than by family members, according to what I read in the news. I have met and known many many people here who look after aged and ailing parents, even sacrificing their own lifestyle. this accounts for the the vast majority (as per many of the comments below, people look after their own). in a country with more than a third of its population over 65, this video is referring to a few hundred cases. quoted in the video as "alarming statistics" are figures suggested by an unspecified person who conducted a "study" based on information geaned from "media": in the 10 years up to 2021, 443 deaths of elderly (no surprise there, old people die). and 437 cases of murder or suicide (casting a wide net). quoting the video again, in said 10 years. there were 13 cases of sibling killing (just over 1 a year!), and 7 cases of a grandchild killing a grandparent... in 10 years remember. also quoted: in that 10 year period an elderly person was killed by a family member every 8 days (less than 40 a year). also quoted: 206 cases of a child killing a parent.... so it seems that of the 437 cases of "murder or suicide" mentioned above, 111 were suicides... so why quote those figures in the context of family killings? in all of this, no statistics given of other countries by way of comparison. all-in-all a trashy bit of 'journalism'.

The way me and children with my wife love our parents,take care of them it s a grace....we are blessed to have them in live.when i look my pic of my chilhood,when i hear stories of my chilhood coming of uncles,my friends'parents of the way they take care of me i am very fortunate to take care of them

Our parents took care of us all their lives. We must not reject and abandon them when they need us most. The elderly are in many ways valuable to our families and society even when they don't assist financially or when their bodies are weak.

That doesn't apply to everybody. There is a rise in single parenthood for a reason and some children are not even planned. Plus the child never asked to be born, the parents bought it to the world by their own will so the child doesn't owe them anything.

Not every parent loved their children and often those are forced into being their carers when nobody else wants them after having been literally horrors when young.

I always thought that Eastern countries cared more for their families. I am shocked at this news.

Nothing surprises me anymore. This has become a sad and sick world we live in. 😢

Sickening but that's what Europe as a whole will also face in the coming years.🙆
