A 4-year-old girl died. City met with "bruise" information, but without contacting the police, September 2, 5:14
In the case that a 4-year-old girl died in Izumi City, Kagoshima Prefecture, and a man who was a mother's partner was arrested on suspicion of assault, I found out that I was not in contact with the police because I could not confirm the bruise of the girl I met.
In this case, in a house in Myojin-cho, Izumi City, a construction worker, Susumu Hiwatari (21) was accused of scolding the head of a partner child, Atsushi Otsuka (4), who lived together on the 27th of last month. Was arrested on suspicion of assault.
Aoi-chan died after being transported to the hospital the next day as “drown in the bath”. According to the police, the cause of death seems to be drowning, but the whole body was injured.
According to Izumi City, where I lived in July, the hospital received information from the hospital that there were several bruises on the face of the girl.
On the 26th of the month before the assault, a public health nurse and a family child counselor were able to meet the mother and the girl on the fourth visit, but the bruise could not be confirmed and the mother said that there was no particular change in the appearance of the child. He answered that he did not examine the physical condition in detail and did not contact the police or the child guidance center.
Izumi City said, "I was thinking about what kind of response I would need in the future. I would like to verify the response at that time."
The police request protection, but no child minister
According to the police, when Ehime-chan lived in Satsumasendai City, Kagoshima Prefecture, she was protected from walking alone at the end of the night four times, so the child guidance center needs to be temporarily protected from the police. It means that it was reported twice.
However, according to the Child Guidance Center, there was no appearance that the child hated her mother, and there was no problem with the parent-child relationship.
On the other hand, because I often left my parents, I decided to negotiate and abandon my childcare and decided to continue to be involved.
The Child Guidance Center knew that the mother had a partner, but did not know the details.
Shiro Sata, Director of the Prefectural Central Children's Counseling Office, said, “I am really disappointed that my life was taken, but I have made the right decision.” I am surprised and disappointed. I want to watch over the situation of the investigation. "
