In a case in which a couple living in Tokyo were arrested for killing their 4-year-old second daughter by ingesting a harmful chemical substance, it was discovered that the second daughter had been placed in at least six child care facilities, and the Metropolitan Police Department announced that they would seek administrative intervention. We are investigating the possibility that the child may have been changing schools repeatedly to avoid this.
In March last year, Kenichi Hosoya (43), a company executive in Tokyo's Taito Ward, and his wife Shiho Hosoya (37) exposed their second daughter, 4-year-old Miki, to harmful substances contained in car antifreeze. He was arrested on suspicion of murdering her by ingesting a chemical substance such as ``ethylene glycol.''
In response to the investigation, suspect Kenichi has denied the charges, and suspect Shiho has remained silent.
According to the investigation so far, when Miki was two months old, she was temporarily taken into custody by a child guidance center due to psychological abuse by her mother, but after that, she was placed in a day care facility. I know that I can now do it.
Further investigation revealed that she had been placed in at least six child care facilities in Tokyo and other areas over the three-year period from September 2019, when her temporary protection was lifted, until her death. I found this out through an interview with.
In some cases, the child was transferred to another facility within three months after being contacted by the nursery school to say that the child had a bruise, and when city officials checked on the situation, the child was transferred to another facility within three months.
The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the child, suspecting that he had been repeatedly transferred to different kindergartens in an attempt to avoid the discovery of inappropriate childcare conditions and government intervention.
Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that Kenichi's older sister, who died six years ago, appeared to have ingested ``ethylene glycol,'' and we will also investigate this connection.
