In response to the incident in which a couple in Tokyo's Taito Ward were arrested for killing their 4-year-old second daughter and others by ingesting harmful chemicals, the Tokyo metropolitan government set up an investigation committee to consider measures to prevent recurrence, and the A meeting was held.
In the case where a couple in Tokyo's Taito Ward were arrested for killing their 4-year-old second daughter and others by ingesting the harmful chemical ``ethylene glycol,'' information was provided that the children had been psychologically abused due to a quarrel between the couple. As a result, the Tokyo Metropolitan Child Counseling Center and the ward's Child and Family Support Center provided support such as home visits.
In order to consider measures to prevent this from happening again, the Tokyo metropolitan government established an investigation committee consisting of university professors, pediatricians, lawyers, and others, and its first meeting was held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building on the 27th.
The meeting was held closed to the public except for the beginning, and according to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, on the 27th, the content of hearings with relevant parties and the schedule for proceeding with the investigation were discussed. They are planning to compile a report.
Professor Ryo Kawamatsu of Meisei University, who serves as the chairman of the committee, said, ``We will clarify the facts and issues, have discussions among committee members from various specialized fields, and compile measures to prevent recurrence so that such a painful incident will not be repeated.'' I was there.
