On the 29th of last month, Kosho Nagasawa (1) and his 2-year-old sister were found unconscious in a car parked in a park in Atsugi City. Reina Nagasawa (21), the resident mother, was arrested on the 2nd on suspicion of abandoning the guardian who left Kosho in the car.
Nagasawa reported from the parking lot of the park that his brother was unconscious, and initially told the police, ``I turned off the engine for about 30 minutes and opened the window. , I was looking at my smartphone in the front seat."
After that, when the police investigated the mother's behavior, it was suspected that she had visited an acquaintance's house in the city before going to the park, and during that time, had left her siblings in a car parked in a nearby parking lot. I learned this from interviews with investigators.
Police believe that after the mother left an acquaintance's house, she moved to a park and called the police, and will investigate further about her mother's behavior.
