At that time, Shiro Kano's forehead was swollen, and he told the police that he was afraid of being beaten.



On the same day that the mother and Shiro Kano consulted the police, they left another apartment in Tsurumi Ward where they were living with the suspect at the time, returned to their parents' house, and then moved to the apartment at the scene.



On the other hand, on the day of the consultation, the police directly warned Uchida, and about a month later, on October 25, they determined that he was being abused and notified the Yokohama City Child Guidance Center in writing. .
