KAGOSHIMA, Jun 09 (News On Japan) - A two-year-old boy was slashed on the neck at a nursery school in Kagoshima City, revealing a troubling pattern of frequent injuries in the class managed by the arrested teacher.
According to the police, Natsuki Sasayama, a 21-year-old nursery teacher, is suspected of attempting to kill the boy by cutting his neck with a knife-like object on June 7th at the certified nursery school where she worked in Kagoshima City.
In response to the incident, the school held an explanatory meeting for parents on June 9th and announced the establishment of an investigation committee.
