Kanagawa Pref – It just does often seem like social care for people with disabilities and the elderly in Sagamihara City and Kanagawa Prefecture as a whole, seems to suck.

Takahira Yoshii, presiding judge at Yokohama District Court, said that educative and protective measures are appropriate for the boy.
