In order to prevent children from being left in the car in the harsh heat, police have begun efforts to call attention at play facilities with parking lots in Chiba Prefecture.
Of these, at a pachinko parlor in Chiba City, police officers patrolled the parking lot with employees to check if children were left behind in the car.
In addition, this year, in order to strengthen the appeal in the store, we are also starting to put up a card that calls attention to the pachinko machine.
The card depicts a child left behind in the car suffering from the heat and the message "Leaving in the car is child abuse."
According to the police, the temperature inside the car with the windows closed tends to rise, and especially in the summer, there is a high risk of death due to heat stroke, so we are calling for caution not to leave children even for a short time.
Tetsuya Kanazawa, a child abuse countermeasure officer at the Chiba Prefectural Police Headquarters, said, "Leaving the car in the car is life-threatening, so please do not do it. I would like the citizens to be careful if there are any children left in the parking lot. I'm talking.
