Kobe Children's Guidance Center A high school student turns back to the city The city apologizes March 7 5:25
Last month, at a children's guidance center in Kobe City, an elementary school student who had asked for help in the early hours was turned away, and the city investigated. I knew she had been returned. The city has apologized and said, "I would like to try to prevent the same situation from happening again."
Last month, a male counselor dispatched by an outsourced NPO at a children's counseling center in Kobe City called Kobe City Children's Home Center for a 6th grade elementary school girl who had asked for help at around 3.30 am It turned out that he was turning back without protection.
In response to this problem, Kobe City examined past records and found that he was turning back high school students in April.
The high school student visited at about 11 pm saying, "I was told to leave the house and would like to consult," but the counselor said, "I want you to call me again tomorrow morning."
The high school student then spent the night in a nearby park and returned to the child guidance center the next morning.
At that time, another counselor from the same NPO was responding, saying that he looked over 18 years old and judged that there was no urgency. It was an inappropriate response.
At a press conference, Kobe City's director of child development, Yoshinori Yaotome, apologized and said, "I would like to make sure that the same situation does not happen again."
