In response to the death of a 2-year-old girl in Kishiwada City, Osaka, who was left behind in her father's car, who thought she was entrusted to a nursery school, Osaka Prefecture contacted the parents to confirm if the child did not attend the nursery school. We notified the nursery schools in the prefecture to thoroughly implement this.
On October 12, in Kishiwada City, Osaka, a 2-year-old girl died after being left in her father's car, who thought she had left her at a nursery school. It is clear that he did not contact the guardian who was supposed to be.
In response, Osaka Prefecture issued a notice on the 15th to nursery schools, certified children's centers, and kindergartens to prevent such a situation.
Specifically, we are asking parents to ensure that attendance is confirmed when they come to kindergarten, and that if their child does not come after the usual time to go to kindergarten, they will confirm with their parents by phone.
Governor Yoshimura "If we can cut off the error somewhere"

In addition, Osaka City also notified more than 1,300 nursery schools and kindergartens in the city by the 15th to thoroughly confirm and contact if the child is not attending school.
