The father of a seven-year-old boy found alive nearly a week after his parents left him in a dense forest as punishment said Monday his son has forgiven him Nike Air Vapormax Homme Grossiste , as details emerged of the boy’s ordeal.
Japan has been mesmerised by young Yamato Tanooka, who survived six nights alone after his angry parents abandoned him by the side of a mountain road on the northern island of Hokkaido on May 28.


Searchers, including soldiers, spent days scouring the mountainous forest which is home to brown bears, but could find no clues to the missing boy.


He was discovered Friday morning sheltering in a hut on a military drill field some 5.5 kilometers from where he had been left.


Takayuki Tanooka, his 44-year-old father, has said he Nike Air Vapormax Flyknit Grossiste , his wife and daughter returned several minutes later to the spot where Yamato was forced out of the family car, but there was no sign of him.

“I said to him, ‘Dad made you go though such a hard time. I am sorry,’” the elder Tanooka told broadcaster TBS in footage aired Monday.


“And then, my son said Nike Air Vapormax Plus Grossiste , ‘You are a good dad. I forgive you,’” Tanooka added, choking up.


Yamato, who was taken to hospital by helicopter immediately after being found in the hut by a soldier, will be discharged on Tuesday, a hospital official told AFP, refraining from giving further details.


Local reports said he had suffered slight dehydration and minor scars on his arms and legs. His weight Nike Air Vapormax Grossiste , originally about 22 kilograms, was down about two kilograms.


His father said Yamato was recovering quickly, finishing each meal served, drawing in a notebook and playing cards with his family, the Mainichi Shimbun daily reported.


Local police said Monday they won’t file any criminal charges but have referred the case to a child welfare center as a case of possible mental abuse, the Hokkaido Shimbun newspaper and other reports said. The center will decide on whether the parents’ actions could be considered child abuse after interviewing them and the boy, Kyodo reported.

Police also interviewed Yamato on Monday nike vapormax flyknit blanche pas cher , Jiji Press said.


The child told them he would walk around the drill field on sunny days but did not wander far. He heard the sound of helicopters and the cries of wild animals but no people, Jiji said, citing police.


Immediately after being abandoned, the crying boy tried to chase his parents’ car but ended up getting disoriented and going the opposite way, the Mainichi reported, citing sources close to the family.


Yamato also said that because he was afraid of the forest, he walked about five hours in the dark along a path until he came to the hut nike vapormax flyknit noir pas cher , the report added.


Other reports said the boy saw no one until the soldier found him on Friday but he believed his family must be looking for him.


Yamato’s parents have been severely criticised for forcing him out of their car to teach him a lesson for throwing stones at cars and people.


The elder Tanooka said he was angry because the boy had recently been scolded at school for hitting cars with a wooden stick.


“So I tried to show him that I can be scary if seriously angry,” he said, citing what he described as a “father’s dignity”.


The contrite dad bowed and apologised in front of reporters on Friday after being reunited with Yamato for what he admitted were his “excessive” actions.


The parents originally told police their son got lost while on a family outing to gather wild vegetables. Tanooka said they lied at first because they feared social censure and possibly being questioned by police as abusive parents.

China has overtaken the United States as the world's top box office for the first time, but some movie insiders are saying it is too early to celebrate.


Record Chinese Lunar New Year box-office takings saw an overall revenue of 4.05 billion yuan ($647.6 million) in February, making China, the world's second-largest market nike vapormax flyknit homme pas cher , surpass the US for the month for the first time, according to a report from Chinese entertainment research firm Entgroup.


The report, released on March 1, also shows that the North American box office for February grossed $710 million. Without Canada, the US took in $640 million.


The box-office record, most of which came during the Spring Festival period, is mainly because of homegrown blockbusters nike vapormax flyknit femme pas cher , with Hong Kong actor Chow Yun-fat's The Man from Macao II dominating the top slot taking in 655 million yuan.


The second biggest box-office hit Dragon Blade, a historical action film starring Jackie Chan, took in 596 million yuan. French director Jean-Jacques Annaud's Wolf Totem was the third-highest earner with total box-office takings of 455 million yuan last month, according to Chinaboxoffice.


Yuan Lin, research director with Entgroup, says the data analysis is based on figures from a film office affiliated to the State Administration of Press, Publication nike vapormax plus blanche pas cher , Radio, Film and Television, and the Portland-based box office research firm Rentrak.


"To be fair, February is regarded as the highest-grossing season thanks to the Chinese Lunar New Year holiday, but in the US the same period is a slow season," says Yuan.


She adds that it will mean more if the US and China are compared to each other in their hot seasons.


For the US, the most-anticipated box-office season is summer nike vapormax plus noir pas cher , from late May to August, and the holiday season, from Thanksgiving to the New Year.
