But then the story changed—he was lost because he had been abandoned by his parents and not just once, but twice in a very short period of time. Abuse? Monster parents? Or was it just bad parenting? Hardly anybody voiced support for the father, there was simply no debate about that. It was the consensus that the parents should not have let the boy out of their sight. Naoki Ogi, a TV personality and pedagogy expert, better known as 'Ogi-mama,' condemned the parents outright, saying this was neglect and abuse. He also noted and criticized how many parents in Japan tend to see their children as their personal possessions. One famous morning talk show host, Tomoaki Ogura, sympathized with the parents on Monday. On his Fuji TV show 'Tokudane!' Mr Ogura said, 'To say 'If you're so bad, we can't take you along, just stay here' is valid way of scolding a child.' Kiyomimi, a mother of a child nearly two years old tweeted, 'Forced discipline is wrong, but when your child is throwing stones at people and cars, and won't listen to reason, then what are you supposed to do?' So the Japanese public has spent this past week discussing good and bad parenting, and what is acceptable punishment and what is abuse.

单选题When Barack Obama first ran for president, Emma Hamilton was part of the working class. Ms. Hamilton worked as a loader at a factory in Sumter, a(n) 42 city of 40,000 in east-central South Carolina. In July 2008, however, after seven years on the factory floor, she mangled her hand between two heavy rollers. The 43 was to leave her unable to work. She lost her house three years later, in April 2011. She, her 20-year-old son and her dog moved into her teal Chevy van, where they have been living ever since, 44 metal cans during the day and sleeping in a grocery-store car park at night. The assistant, who 45 Ms. Hamilton in hospital, was named Patricia Dunham. Ms. Dunham works at the Excelsior for 37.5 hours each week. At night she works behind the 46 at a fast-food restaurant. She would earn $32,137.50 for working 61.5 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, before tax withholdings. Ms. Dunham has three school-age children and a husband who is unable to work. Mr. Dunham has a prison 47 , and since 2010 he has had periodic seizures that leave him bedridden for days 48 . She and her husband are still paying off a $2,100 49 they had to take out in 2010 to bury Mr. Dunham's mother, and car payments are also a concern.

Some 15% of Americans live below the 50 line, as Ms. Hamilton does. Many more, like Ms. Dunham, have incomes above the poverty line but nevertheless cannot meet their families' basic 51 needs, and there are signs that their number is growing.
