What about having to be careful about molesters on the day of the exam?

February 24, 20:32

Over the last few years, sneaky posts calling for molesters have become prominent before the college entrance exam day.

It is an extremely malicious writing that I expected not to be notified to the examinees who were in front of the important examination.

In the middle of the exam season.

How can we protect our children from unforgivable crimes?

Escalating online writing "Really cowardly and malicious"

This is a post on the internet calling for molesters before the Common Test for University Admissions held in January.

In response to these writings one after another, severe criticism was raised, and it temporarily entered the trend on Twitter.



When I talked to the examinees in the city, there were voices of fear and resentment.

"I was scared, so I drove with my parents."


"If I'm upset, I may not be able to get the results I've had so far.


" I think it's shocking to write something like this. I'm surprised that it's a great world. "

According to Yayoi Matsunaga, the representative director of the "Molester Deterrence Activity Center" in Osaka, such postings have been seen on anonymous bulletin boards for a long time, but in recent years, postings on the Internet have been intense. It is said that it has become.



Mr. Matsunaga said, "It seems that the number of people who are showing up for fun is increasing. The examinees who saw the writing without really molesting are shocked and upset. I think it is cowardly and malicious. I'm talking.

Police strengthen crackdown at stations, etc.

The Hyogo Prefectural Police are tightening their crackdowns this winter in an attempt to protect the examinees in response to these online turmoil.



Since last month, with the cooperation of railway companies in the prefecture such as the Kobe Municipal Subway, we have increased the system for patrols at stations with many passengers and strengthened our vigilance.



In addition to being vigilant in uniforms and increasing the number of eyes to watch, we also increased the number of plainclothes police officers in the car.


At the station, announcements such as "Molesters and voyeurism in trains and station premises are malicious criminal acts" are repeatedly made.

"Since students in uniforms gather near the examination venue, criminals sometimes aim at such places and commit crimes on crowded trains. I try to be vigilant at stations near the station. "

What you can do to avoid damage

According to the National Police Agency's White Paper on Police, as of the second year of Reiwa, more than 1,900 cases of molestation (violation of the nuisance prevention regulations) have occurred just by being arrested.

Considering that many people do not report the damage, we do not know how far it has actually spread.



How can we protect ourselves when it is difficult to eradicate it?


The "Molester Deterrence Activity Center" summarizes the points of countermeasures as follows.

● Avoid near doors and connecting parts of vehicles.


 The seating area is less likely to be damaged.

● Stretch your spine.


 It is important to have a dignified atmosphere so that you do not think that this student will not resist.

● Be courageous, speak out and shake your hands.


 If you are scared and get stuck, your actions will escalate.

In addition, the following measures are said to be effective when taking the exam.


● Head to the test site in plain clothes so that junior and senior high school students will not see it.


● Act in multiples.

Also, what is effective is the "Molester Deterrence Badge".


It is used by attaching it to a school bag.



Approximately 16,000 pieces have been distributed so far, and people with badges have said that they are no longer injured and that they can now ride on the train with peace of mind.



It is said that the intention to "do not fall asleep" leads to the prevention of molestation.



The center's homepage also contains videos and information about what you can do to avoid damage as much as possible.

"Molester is a crime" Awareness of the entire society that is lacking

The "Molester Deterrence Activity Center" is also focusing on education for students.



We have created animation materials and have them use them in school lessons.



I feel that it is necessary for society as a whole to recognize that molestation is a crime.



The aim is to make it easier for the victims to consult with the teacher by taking it up at school.

Mr. Yayoi Matsunaga, Representative Director of "Molester Deterrence Activity Center" "


There is education to be careful of suspicious people for children in the lower grades of elementary school, and there is traffic safety education for children who go to school by bicycle even in high school. I know that there are molesters inside, but I am putting children on the rush train without giving any specific information or coping methods. Safety for molester crimes for children who go to school by train Education should be done. "

Not to be overlooked by society as a whole

Efforts to eradicate it in society have also begun.



At Kyoto Women's University, students collaborated with the Kyoto Prefectural Police to create a poster.

Professor Hiromi Ichikawa, who was involved in the creation, felt that simply calling attention to the female side as in the past would not be a fundamental solution.



After many discussions with her students, I drew a poster showing a female student reporting.



She added the words "To a train that everyone can ride with peace of mind."



It is said that the students realized how strange the current situation, where they must always be careful about molesters, while making posters.



The poster was posted at Hankyu train stations this winter.

Professor Hiromi Ichikawa, Kyoto Women's University


"If there is a person swinging a knife on the train, I will call 110, but the molester is not always reported. I think that the perpetrator is lightly looking at the crime of molester. Aiming at people who are unlikely to resist, society is bad for people who can't escape, and people who know that there are molesters but don't take measures have a fault, and they are diminishing molesters to personal problems. Is a serious sexual violence and a serious violation of human rights. It is a strange society that this happens on a daily basis by public transportation. "

What if a molester is waiting for a child who has been working hard to take the exam and sent out "Do your best".



I think it is necessary for adults on the train to open their eyes and protect their children, reaffirming the recognition that sex crimes are not allowed.
