Defendant Saki Kakehashi (26) went on a trip to Kagoshima prefecture for more than a week, leaving his 3-year-old daughter, Rika, alone at his home in Ota-ku, Tokyo, and gave him enough food. The prosecutor's office sentenced him to 11 years in prison on charges of abandonment and death of the person in charge of protection, alleging that he had died without.
In the ruling, Kiichi Hiraide, the judge of the Tokyo District Court, said, "I couldn't ask the mother who I wanted to be with me for help, and the pain and suffering of the girl who was debilitated alone is hard to say. As a result, an irreplaceable young life was lost. "
On top of that, he said, "In the background of the misjudgment that a daughter can live if she puts on a certain amount of food and drink and wears a diaper, the defendant has been severely abused in the past, and it is appropriate. It is recognized that the personality formed by growing up with no care is affected, but there is a limit to what can be considered, "he sentenced to eight years in prison.
