Kobe Children's Guidance Center Helped a small 6 girl without protection The city apologizes at a conference February 19 12:46

Kobe City's Child Guidance Center was seeking to help around midnight at 3.30am, and was turning back without protecting a 6th grade elementary school girl. Kobe City said at a press conference, "It's an extremely inappropriate response. No, "he apologized.

According to Kobe City, around 3:30 am on March 10, a 12-year-old girl from elementary school visited a child guidance center and appealed to her, saying, "Mama told me to leave home." I asked.

However, the male employee of the NPO corporation, which was entrusted with the duty duties, told the police over the intercom that he had to return home without protecting the child.

The female children ran alone to a police box nearby, and the Child Guidance Center, contacted by police, protected them as an abuse case.

Yoshihide Yoshii, Chief of Family Support Section of Kobe City, who is in charge of the Children's Guidance Center, told a press conference about the situation, saying, "The staff who responded seemed to be too old. It was a matter that had to be done. "

He then apologized, "I'm sorry for the inadequate response and I have no excuse. I'm really sorry that I turned away despite seeking help."
