KUMAMOTO (Kyodo) Prosecutors have indicted a teacher at Kaishin High School in the city of Kumamoto over an accident that left a karate club member at the private school with serious brain impairment, the victim’s parents said Wednesday.
The victim, now 18, suffered a concussion during club activities on July 10, 2007, but the teacher, who is in his 40s, made him do additional training. Although the student complained of headaches the next day, the teacher again ordered him to participate in training, sources said.
