Regarding the child abuse death I wrote in the previous article, terrible cruel facts are becoming known one after anther. It's usual. After a child's death, always many facts come out, which show that it was definitely possible to save the child life by taking measures at some point.
This time, I really realized that;
In the current Japan, there is no way for abused children to run way from his/her cruel situation, there is no place or person where they can ask for help or to protect them.
Usually, abused children don't or can't complain, speak out or ask for help.
That's why we adults, people around children, school and child consultation offices must pay attention and take prompt actions, unfortunately those don't function at all though.
The case this time revealed more horrible thing.
Even though a child speak out and ask for help, they are never helped, supported or protected. Terrible.
This time, the victim Mia asked for help. It must have needed tremendous courage to do that. What a courageous girl. It might be one of the reason that she is 10 years old and a bit older than children died of parents abuse in the past.
Child consultation Office, the School Board and School
She wrote that she has been abused by her father on the questionnaire conducted by her school. The purpose of questionnaire was asking if you are bullied. But she wrote about abuse by her father, probably gathering all her courage.
After that, the child consultation office temporary took her in the protection facility. However, she was taken back to her home and the child consultation office never visited her after that. I can't believe that!
More horrible thing is that the school board handed the questionnaire she wrote to her father! What!
The questionnaire said that all you wrote are kept a secret, in order to encourage children to speak out.
Mia believed her school. I think telling the school was her last desperate hope.
It is believed that handed the questionnaire to her father promoted abuse.
The school board did worse than doing nothing.
Since beginning of January, Mia didn't go to school because her father didn't let her to do. Her father told the school that she was now in Okinawa and would be absent from school for a month.
Thinking what's been going on, I think that everyone think of something wrong.
However, the school did nothing for 2 weeks and finally told the child consultation office which was too late. Mia was died.
Is there any other way for her to do?
Helpless. Cruelly helpless.
Neighbors
Some neighbors were interviewed and said that they often heard her cry loud and heard father yell and shout abuse.
In spite of that, no one did anything...
MOTHER
The person who do something most should be her mother. What has she been doing? This is a question which almost all people have.
The news don't mention anything about her mother, intentionally.
Mia asked the school for help, which means she knew her mother doesn't help her.
Mia has been abused for a long time. Since January this year, her father didn't let her go to school. During that, her mother was also there. And Mia was abused until death occurs.
She was able to protect her and run away with her. No, she must have done it.
Many mothers, who abuse their children or leave his husband to abuse their children, are someone who put much more premium on being a wife and being with her husband than being mother.
Even, they want to keep being female, not become a mother.
If you ask me, such people must not be mother. must not have children.
School, the child consultation office, neighbors and even mother don't help children, even if they ask for help.
How are abused children extricated? Who can save them?
