In response to an incident in which a 3-year-old girl died of heatstroke after being left in a school bus at a certified children's center in Makinohara City, Shizuoka Prefecture, Shizuoka Prefecture and others are operating shuttle buses. We have started an on-the-spot investigation of the site.
This on-site survey was started by the prefecture, Shizuoka City, and Hamamatsu City, targeting 232 children's centers, nursery schools, and kindergartens in the prefecture, excluding the certified children's center where the incident occurred.
Of these, at Municipal Fukuda Children's Center in Iwata City, three people in charge of the prefecture visited on the 27th and interviewed the shuttle bus driver and staff members on board about the status of daily safety management.
In response to this, the staff explained that when they got on the train, they checked the name list and called the roll, and when they got off the train, the driver and the staff double-checked whether there were any remaining children. was
Prior to the on-site inspection, the prefectural government conducted a documented survey, confirming that there were 43 cases of "hiyari-hatto" incidents related to the safety of children over the shuttle bus over the past year.
Ayumi Suzuki, the head of the prefectural children's future division, said, "There are things that can't be understood just by writing, so I'd like to specifically check how safety is thoroughly managed at each kindergarten."
This survey is scheduled to be conducted until mid-November.
