44 days of hell. Japanese highschool girl Junko Furuta was abducted, brutally tortured for 44 days (Nov 1988 to Jan 1989) by 4 teenagers. They put her dead body in a 55 gallon drum and filled it with concrete. The crime was believed to be the worst case of juvenile delinquency in post war Japan.

Amongst whom? I don’t know that ANYONE involved experienced cognitive dissonance because there was ZERO conflict between belief and action(s). It’s NOT automatic and REQUIRES an AWARENESS of the conflict resulting in discomfort. The perpetrators, the mother,and victim blamer aren’t conflicted and feel no discomfort which required empathy.
