Small 4-girl abuse death Child Guidance Center Directors and two others are dismissed with documentary advice Chiba January 27 19:27

One year ago, in a case where a fourth-grade elementary school girl died in Noda City, Chiba, after being abused, Chiba Prefecture asked two directors, the former director of the child counseling office and the current director. We dismissed the documentary advisory, stating that "we did not respond appropriately."

The two directors at the Kashiwa Children's Guidance Center in Chiba Prefecture, both 57-year-old director and current director, have been dismissed.

Last year, in a case where a fourth grader girl died in Noda City, Chiba Prefecture, the girl complained of abuse from her father, and she was temporarily protected by the Child Guidance Center. It has been.

The prefecture was unable to prevent the incident because it did not take appropriate measures while involved as a children's guidance center. We have decided to dismiss the admonition.

The prefecture also considered disposing of staff other than the director, but did not ask for a clear violation of laws and regulations, but explained that it had decided comprehensively and decided to dispose of the responsible person.

The reason why he did not use heavier disciplinary action is based on the fact that no disciplinary action has been taken in about five similar cases in the past two years nationwide.

In response to the prefecture's interview, the previous director said, "I could not confirm physical abuse and I could not decide to protect again temporarily," and the current director said, "The director at the time of his death is myself, my responsibility is I have it ".
