When Game Console Gifts Were Yanked Out Of Kids Hands by Kotaku
Following March 11′s earthquake and tsunami, kids left parentless and homeless piled into make-shift refuge shelters. As a much needed diversion, kids began asking for video games.
I want a PSP and Monster Hunter, wrote one little girl whose grandmother and grandfather died during the quake.
Japanese singer Masahiro Nakai from Smap visited Fukushima, passing out game consoles to kids. According to the Mainichi Newspaper, Nakai also visited a ballet school in Ishinomaki City in Miyagai Prefecture. He also passed out game machines to the kids at the ballet school. However, these kids werent all earthquake refugees, but the kids of volunteers who traveled to Miyagi.
A parent or guardian of earthquake refugee kids protested, saying that the children of volunteers shouldnt receive such expensive gifts. Ishinomaki City collected the game machines Nakai had donated.
One fourth grade girl said how disappointed she was that she couldnt show her friends the game machine she got from Nakai.
The collection incited more telephone complaints, saying that taking the gifts away hurt the childrens feelings. The city apologized and is returning the consoles to the kids.
Ishinomaki City didnt originally give the game machines to those kids. Nakai did. He might have made a mistake, thinking they were earthquake refugees. Maybe he didnt. It was his choice to give those presents, not the citys.
