Last year, a 6-month-old girl died after eating a grated apple at a nursery school in Aira City, Kagoshima Prefecture, and the city's verification committee found that the apple was likely the cause of her choking. We then compiled a report that included measures to prevent recurrence and submitted it to the mayor on the 22nd.

The report points out that ``it is highly likely that the apple the girl ingested just before her condition suddenly deteriorated was the cause of her choking,'' and that there were issues with the way apples were prepared and served,
and
the
sharing of information between nursery school staff.
I think it is.
In addition, to prevent recurrence,
childcare facilities should adhere to the national guidelines that state that fruits such as apples, which tend to clog depending on their hardness and how they are cut, should be heated and softened before being served until the end of baby
food.Parents
We recommend
strengthening cooperation with the public and sharing information
, as well as providing training and drills for childcare workers and others to prepare for the occurrence of accidents .
At a press conference, Mayor Yumoto said, ``We will work to prevent such a sad accident from happening again and create an environment where people can leave their children with more peace of mind than ever before.''

Regarding the report, the girl's family said, ``We received the report today, but our daughter is no longer in this world.We have received various suggestions to prevent recurrence, but we have not been able to do anything like this since before the accident occurred.'' I can't help but think that if the recommendations had been carried out, my daughter would not have lost her life.I hope that the recommendations will be put to good use in the future to prevent similar accidents from happening again.''
