Four years have passed since the death of a fourth-grade elementary school girl in Noda City, Chiba Prefecture, on the 24th, and the Chiba Prefectural Office staff offered a silent prayer.
Four years ago, on January 24, a 10-year-old fourth-year elementary school student from Noda City, Kokoa Kurihara, died at her home. I'm here.
On the morning of the 24th, the day of his death, at the Chiba Prefectural Office, Kaoru Shinozuka, Chief of the Child and Families Division, which has jurisdiction over the Child Guidance Center, said, "I think we must not forget the reflection of losing a precious life. We sincerely pray for the repose of the soul, and let's work on our business with a new determination not to cause such an incident again."
Atsushi Yamaguchi, head of the Reform Office of the Child Guidance Center, said, "When I think about the pain and suffering that a 10-year-old girl suffered physically and mentally due to abuse, I am deeply saddened. I would like to work on preventing child abuse, giving top priority to the safety and security of children and protecting their lives."
