The father left his seven-year-old son alone on the mountain and continued his ascent: The boy waited for him for eight hours

A 48-year-old father was reprimanded by police after leaving his seven-year-old son alone for several hours on Mount Fuji in Japan, during poor weather conditions. The child was found sitting on a bench at an altitude over 2,000 meters, reportedly tired and irritable after waiting eight hours. The father had told the boy to 'wait' before continuing the climb with his older son. The child was discovered by staff at a mountain hut near the sixth station on the trail, while the father was found between the seventh and eighth stations. Police criticized him for his 'impulsive' decision, and the family was traveling along the Fujinomiya route, which requires around five hours to reach the summit and three more to descend. Mount Fuji has seen multiple incidents recently due to climbing dangers.
