It was in my Cultural Anthropology class and we're covering political systems and conflict resolution.
We had to get into groups and discuss the case we were given: A Japanese woman living in Santa Monica, LA was shattered that her husband was committing adultery and wanted to go through with an old Japanese custom called...something I don't remember. It's where the wife of a cheating man has to kill herself along with any child she has borne. She ended up walking into the ocean and killing her 5 month old daughter but she herself was rescued and survived. She is under trial for manslaughter.
Our task? To discuss and come up with a conclusion as to what we as a jury would do.
Your kids teacher doesn't happen to be Zooey, does it? PR!

Personally, I would find her guilty of manslaughter just because the daughter had no choice. I respect the custom but you can't kill another person if they have no choice, you know?
I'm Zooey. And to me, you will forever be the one with the crush on their Eng. prof. J/K

One girl is worth ten boys, of course
But it's not nap time yet
. . . not unless Zooey is a skateboard riding soccer nut . . .

Got her in one. She thinks she's Tony Hawks!
that never stopped her before
who said anything about napping
Wow that's hard, isn't it? And got alot more to do with female reliance on men, attitudes towards husbands and stuff than to make it a straightforward 'oh my god how terrible!' sort of case. Although, that doesn't excuse her killing her child ofcourse. Just, imagine feeling so betrayed that you'd want to. Because I can't ever imagine feeling that, but maybe that's because I have no reliance on men whatsoever and never will have
What did you come up with?

I don't get the whole child killing side of it AT ALL!!! What does that prove/gain? Personally, as a parent, I would gladly lay down my life for that of my son. I can't imagine ever feeling otherwise.

I'm imagining Wild as a 2nd grader in class What a handful, I'll wager!!!!!!
I know, I don't get that, I mean you've got to be feeling something wrong if you're able to do that. There's obviously something wrong with the woman, and if she tried to commit suicide. But the child bit - that makes things just SO much harder.
skateboard? once upon a time
soccer? meh, only if someone I know is playing
nut? OF COURSE!!!
What we came up with was: Since the incident happened here in the US and not Japan, she had to be tried under US law. And a child was definitely intentionally killed. She took the child with her to the ocean and was in her full senses too. So.. we suggested she go to jail for about 10 to 15 years and since the case didn't specify if she was a US citizen, she should be deported back to Japan. But if she was, then jail and probation and counselling. Psychiatric help and all.
