NAGANO — A 12-year-old girl from Komoro, Nagano Prefecture, who had been missing since Saturday, was found safe in Odawara, Kanagawa Prefecture, early Wednesday, police said. Hiromi Yamanaka showed up at Odawara Police Station with a man who appeared to be about 30, police said. The two said they came to the police station after learning about the public search for Hiromi on television.

Hiromi parted from her father at JR Komoro Station at around 9:50 a.m. Saturday after he drove her there, telling him she was going shopping in Saku with her friend. At around 3 p.m., she called her mother on her mobile phone to say she would stay at her friend's home overnight. When the mother called her again at around 7 p.m., she hung up, saying she was going to sleep and that was the last time her parents heard from her.

Wouldn't you have to remove the "found safe in Kanagawa" part to suspect him?

Not necessarily. We haven't heard about what happened while the 12 year old was with the 30 year old. *vomits* He's still in the firing line as far as I'm concerned.

I had absolutely nothing to do with this.

I wish he'd stop, it's really hard to clean the vomit out of the html scripting.

Hate to break it to you, but no, Madman, I wasn't. You don't want o be around when that happens.

There's a simple solution, White. Just cast Remove Curse on afflicted file.

PS. Whoever did this is probably one of the people voting on the 4chan showdown for greatest moe girl ever. That contest gives me the chills...

I think the final 2 are Shana for Shakugan no Shana and Fate from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (I think that's the name, or something like that). If Fate beats Shana, I'm gonna castrate Kiety, I swear.

EDIT: Shana lost the semi-final....Suiseiseki won into the final.

1. She ain't baring anything incriminating.
2. It's above 4chan standards, c'mon.

How did this discussion turn into talk about 4chan and WoW?

Some people need to get out more...

Actually, It's below 4chan's standards as 4chan bans minderjährigen mädchen.
Stop talking about 4chan, stop talking about WoW and get back to taking the piss out of Madman.

I finally actually read the follow up reports. Unlike everyone else here my first impression was that the 30 year old had found the young girl and helped her to the nearest police station. I thought the girl merely just ran away from home and realised that her parents did actually care when she found out about the reports on TV.

I must really like living in a state of denial, always thinking the best of people. Turns out it was a Internet relation between the two of them and she had run away to be with the guy.

Yes. The follow-ups are always interesting to read, and usually shed a whole lot more light on these episodes.

The typical Japanese Denial appeared to kick in, initially, when no mention was made of any charges applying to the guy. Eventually, eventually, they decided to charge him with something....

Watch the prosecution fall flat.
