The police are investigating the actual situation of childcare in detail.
Last month, Yuyo Ono
(
2) died of heat stroke in a room in a housing complex in Tondabayashi City
. He was arrested on suspicion of abandoning the protection officer for leaving behind and going out.
Yuyo-chan was left behind in a playpen with boards attached to surround it on all sides, but from another room at the site, a board that seems to have been placed like a lid on the playpen was also found. I found out from an interview with the investigators that it was.
The two boards were hinged together, and one of them had a handle.
The police said that Momoda had stated to the investigation that "I had left at home several times and went out alone, and I was still in the playpen at that time." I suspect that she was repeatedly trapped in the playpen, and I am investigating the actual situation of childcare in detail.
