A 7-year-old boy went missing in a Japanese forest after his parents made him get out of the car as punishment.

Approximately 150 rescue workers are looking for Yamato Tanooka in a wooded area on Hokkaido, which is home to a species of brown bear. the northernmost of Japan's four main islands, according to reports in Japan.

His parents initially told the authorities that their son had disappeared on Saturday while they were picking vegetables, but later admitted they had made him get out of the car "as discipline."

The father returned to the site where they left him a few minutes later, but the boy was gone.
The second-grader was being punished for throwing rocks while playing at a river earlier in the day.
He was last seen wearing a black jacket and red athletic shoes, according to NHK.

Authorities are investigating whether the case is subject to child abandonment.

    Reminds me of a story of a 15 yr old who came home late and her parents locked her out the house...and a serial killer ( Paul Bernardo) found her walking the streets like 2 in the morning and captured her tortured her and killed her

    ? the guilt from that would be as bad as leaving your baby in the car.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out the parents murked him. They already lied about picking vegetables

    The body is probably no where near that forest.

    Okay this is staring to sound like a rebellious teen who got locked out and killed in the end. Totally ? up no matter what but the parents might have just had it with her ? and locked her out. Either they said ahh well she was a pain in the ass anyway or they lived with guilt, or maybe after getting to live long enough they finally got over it. Or you're ? with me.

    I saw a Vice documentary the other day of a suicide forrest in Japan. People who want to die go out there and just walk until they get lost and eventually die, or they just go and commit that. Wonder if that's where they dropped him off
