The “Club Kids” Incident: Disturbing and Obscure Media

In 2006, Japanese families of children who had passed away started getting emails linking them to a blog with photos of their own kids. Photos you’d find in an evidence locker, not on the family wall.

When police finally investigate, they learn that this had been going on for years, and the victims weren’t only in Japan. I dive down Japan’s darkest internet rabbit hole to see what I can learn, looking for evidence and recent developments.
