Japan proposes GPS and mandatory therapy against school bullying

The Liberal Democratic Party of Japan has presented an emergency plan to combat school bullying. The proposal includes installing GPS devices on aggressors and forcing them to undergo psychological treatment. The measure aims to deter violent behavior and protect victims in a country where bullying is a serious problem.

GPS and therapy: the technical plan against bullying 🎯

The plan contemplates that aggressors carry a GPS device for a set period. This would allow authorities to monitor their movements and restrict access to areas where incidents occurred. The mandatory psychological treatment would include sessions with specialists to address the causes of aggressive behavior. The proposal also establishes sanctions for those who refuse to comply with these measures. GPS technology is already used in other legal contexts, such as domestic violence cases.

The aggressor, now with a tracker and a psychologist appointment 😅

So, if you thought the punishment was writing I will not bother my classmates a hundred times, Japan tells you: put on the GPS and schedule an appointment with the therapist. The bully will now have to explain to their psychiatrist why they like stealing other people's lunches. Sure, at least they will know that if they get near the school, an alarm will go off. Good thing they didn't propose a bracelet that delivers a shock every time you insult someone.
