Adults in the Student Suicide Case

A high school student committed suicide in 2017 at Kaisei Gakuen, a private Catholic school in Nagasaki Prefecture, as a result of bullying. The bereaved family is pursuing the truth, hoping that the tragedy that happened to their child will not be repeated. However, the high school, Nagasaki Prefecture, Kyodo News, and the Nagasaki Shimbun stand in their way. Adults who attempt to save their skins maintain the structure of recurrent bullying-related suicide. Self-protection comes at a high cost.
