At a nursery school in Susono City, Shizuoka Prefecture, three former nursery teachers grabbed a child by the leg and suspended him in the air. Judging that it corresponds to sexual abuse, etc., we recommended improvements to the corporation that operates the nursery school.
At Susono City’s licensed nursery school “Sakura Nursery School”, last year, it was revealed that three former nursery teachers grabbed the feet of the children and suspended them in the air. A special audit was conducted based on
resulting in,
▽ 3 cases of “physical abuse” such as grabbing the legs of kindergarteners and hanging them in the air,
▽ 4 cases of “psychological abuse” such as threatening children who do not eat school lunches,
▽ A total of 10 acts, including 3 cases of “inappropriate childcare,” such as processing photos of kindergarten children and sharing them in LINE groups, violate prefectural ordinances that prohibit child abuse, etc. I judged.
Of these, it is said that other than the three nursery teachers also used names that made the appearance of the children.
The prefectural government pointed out that the lack of training to think about what is appropriate childcare was behind these actions, and the sense of each childcare worker was deteriorating.
On the 9th, the prefecture and the city issued recommendations to the social welfare corporation “Ouaikai”, which operates nursery schools, for improvement based on the Child Welfare Act.
The recommendation calls for verification of the cause of inappropriate childcare, implementation of measures to prevent recurrence, and submission of an improvement report by the 9th of next month.
Takuyasu Urata, director of the prefectural welfare and longevity bureau, said at a press conference, “It is extremely regrettable that such abuse took place, and it is something that parents cannot endure. To prevent abuse from being repeated, unannounced audits are being conducted. I want to devise it,” he said.
