Disappearance

On May 28, 2016 Tanooka went missing in Japan on Hokkaido (北海道) after being left in bear-infested woods by his parents as punishment. [4]

Tanooka was hiking with his family when he began throwing rocks at people and cars while playing in the river.

His parents wanted to frighten him and teach him a lesson by locking him out of the vehicle and driving away.

150 rescuers searched on Hokkaido (北海道) for the third day on May 30, 2016. The mountain range is bear infested. [4]
