Woman left child to die at Internet Cafe
Japan
A woman has been arrested for leaving her newborn baby to die at an Internet cafe in Tokyo’s Shibuya Ward, police said.
The Metropolitan Police Department accuses Mizuha Nagasue, 23, unemployed and of no fixed address, of abandoning a child she was responsible for protecting, resulting in death. The suspect has allegedly admitted to the allegations.
“After I gave birth I didn’t know what to do, so I left him,” she was quoted as telling police.
Nagasue abandoned the baby boy at an Internet cafe at around 4:40 p.m. on Wednesday shortly after giving birth, investigators said. The baby died soon afterwards from a hemorrhage caused by pressure to the head during delivery.
