Man leaves young son on Mount Fuji before ascending

A father abandoned his seven-year-old son on Mount Fuji after the child complained of fatigue during a family hike, leaving him alone at an altitude of over 2,000 meters with only snacks and a drink before continuing his climb. A worker discovered the boy sitting unattended on a bench near the sixth station of the Fujinomiya trail. Police have reprimanded the father for this dangerous act of negligence.
