Navi: Incidents like this can have a significant impact on the Japanese community. Especially for parents with children, it’s essential to have an environment where they can feel safe.

Admin’s Note

This incident is a very serious issue for Japanese nationals living abroad. It’s understandable that families with children would feel an increased sense of anxiety in their daily lives. To prevent such occurrences in the future, it is essential to strengthen local safety measures and improve information sharing. Additionally, I believe it is important to foster connections within the Japanese community, so that we can support one another. I hope for the establishment of a safe environment.
