Case Summary

The final court decision was made, "Judicial settlement with the daycare"


Our 3 months old son was killed by Daycare.


In 2010, I dropped our baby to the daycare. 3 hours later I received phone call from the daycare worker and said they were at the hospital with my son because he wasn’t breathing.


When I arrived at the hospital, my baby was dead. The cause of death was bacterial pneumonia, told by the police


Few weeks later, unbelievable fact was unravelled, the daycare workers left my baby along with 12 other infants alone unattended by any adult and went to the Gym during the napping time, and they were hiding it until the testimony of an eyewitness told the police.


We felt something suspicious about the daycare, therefore we asked for legally autopsy, and the cause of death was not from bacterial pneumonia


The truth is, our baby was put facing down and was suffocated to death while they were at the Gym


We decided to bring a case and press charges against the daycare.

5 years of trial, we were convinced by the court and attorney that it is better to settle with the daycare. Of course we could never agree but after they told us how much it will cost us if we keep continue, it was almost like force decision.


Until today, the daycare hasn't given an apology nor condolence...

About past court hearings

We have not been very active about updating our blog for about a year.

In a meantime, we have received very harmful messages, as well as warm kind messages.

For past 1 year, we had several hearings in Naha District Court, and some of our friends and family members came to the court hearing, which made us safe and strong.  Again, we really appreciate for those of you who have been supporting for our case.

From the past trials, the daycare’s responses are,
“We will fight against the baby’s parents, because we did nothing wrong”

The daycare is not sorry at all.

The fact that leaving a 3months old infant facing down, and left a daycare unattended for 40 minutes has been disclosed, why they do not acknowledge their guilt.

 I just cannot understand them.
The court will start the examination of witness.

The next hearing is scheduled on 09/03/2014 from 1:30PM in Naha District Court.



The examination of witness will be me and a childcare worker, who left the babies and went to the gym.

We will also be speaking in All Japan Childcare Study Conference in Fukuoka Japan in August, 2014


Again, Thank you for your support.
