These are the words in which he confessed to stealing a bicycle. According to the police, Mr. A left his part-time job at around 9pm on November 18th, two days before he turned himself in at the police station.
I got on the cart and headed home. Mr. A's house was a 30-minute walk from the apartment. A few hours later, the owner of the bicycle reported to the police that his bicycle had been stolen, and an investigation began.
However, before a full-scale police investigation could begin, Mr. A returned the bicycle to its owner and visited the police. Mr. A said, ``It looked similar to the bicycle that my friend usually rides, so I mistook it for my friend's bicycle.''
He confessed, ``I borrowed it for a while and tried to ride it, but I soon learned that it belonged to someone else and returned it.'' She continued, ``I ended up getting home too late after work, so I had to go home early.''
"I just thought I had to make food for someone else's younger brother," he said, slurring his words. The case documents were then transferred to the Karasuyama Police Station Women's and Youth Affairs Division, an advanced agency. The police officer in charge was more concerned about Mr. A's attendance than the theft incident.
I focused on the family circumstances mentioned above. Mr. A had a difficult family situation, but he did not belong to the basic recipient or the next higher class, and was placed in a welfare blind spot. A's father has a monthly income and owns a car.
As a result, they were excluded from being selected as low-income earners, such as those receiving basic living benefits or those in the next higher income bracket. However, Mr. A's family of nine people, including seven siblings and parents, lives in a 14-year-old family with poor living conditions.
He lived in a national rental apartment in Tsubo. Regarding owning a car, A's father said, ``I always needed a car because I have many children and sometimes I have to take my wife to the hospital.''
Mr. A is the eldest son of 6 boys and 1 girl. Although still a high school student, Mr. A was working part-time at a restaurant near his home to make a living. A's father works at a distribution center, and his mother is battling heart failure and lung disease.
Mr. A was in fact taking care of his six younger brothers, who were sick and were still in middle school, elementary school, kindergarten, and seven months old. The police believed that Mr. A's family needed help from the local government, so they raided the home several times.
We conducted visits and investigated specific household circumstances. Furthermore, together with related parties from community centers and public health centers, we held interviews with A's parents and confirmed the children's health status.
As a result, seven organizations, including Karasuyama City, Karasuyama Police Station, resident center, youth center, public health center, and welfare institutions, held an integrated meeting on the 6th and decided to provide substantial welfare services to Mr. A's family.
I decided to help. Life support includes emergency welfare support {3.2 million won (approximately 362,000 yen) x 3 months}, household sponsored goods (futons, ramen, etc.), school lunch expenses {300,000 won (approx.
33,000 yen)}, housing environment improvement (house disinfection), children's medical expenses (300,000 won), and glasses purchase expenses {100,000 won (approximately 11,000 yen)}.
A police source said, ``Mr. A expressed his gratitude to the police and told them that he would learn how to operate heavy machinery in the future to maintain his family's livelihood and take care of his younger brothers.''
``The police hope that the seven siblings will grow up to be former brothers.'' Additionally, the police held a lead examination committee on the 11th of last month regarding Mr. A's bicycle theft case.
The Preliminary Examination Committee gave Mr. A a summary judgment. Later, the court suspended Mr. A's sentence of 100,000 won in fine.
