Three years ago, in Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture, a third-party committee of the city, which had been investigating the cause of suicide due to the problem of a boy student in the first grade of junior high school committing suicide at that time, said that it was "difficult to identify the cause". We will publish a report on the 23rd, stating that "the problem gradually progressed while various factors were compounded."
In July 2018, the report of the investigation by the city's third-party committee, which has been investigating the cause of suicide, regarding the problem of suicide by a boy student in the first grade of junior high school at that time in Tokorozawa City was compiled. I found out by interviewing.
After examining life at school and at home, as well as relationships with teachers and friends, the report concludes that it is difficult to identify the cause.
On top of that, boys have a sense of obstruction in school life, criticism of adult society, and guidance from their homeroom teachers, which gradually leads to problems, sudden loss of hope for the future, and family and friends. It is believed that he chose to commit suicide without being able to consult with him.
Regarding the report, at the stage of drafting the report, it was included that "there was bullying against the boys", but the father of the boys said, "While there are other possible causes, the impression of bullying. In the end, it is difficult to confirm the causal relationship with suicide, even though it was not possible to conclude whether or not there was bullying, based on the opinion that "there may be one person walking."
Tokorozawa City will publish the report on the 23rd.
