Beaten with a pot and locked up in a bathroom… “21-year-old woman sent to a mother-child living support facility” escapes from her domestic violence husband.

The National Police Agency has announced that in The National Police Agency has announced the following statistics on the crime situation in 2022 (provisional figures). The National Police Agency reported that the number of cases of domestic violence by spouses will increase to 80,000 in 2022 (provisional figures). The National Police Agency announced that the number of cases of domestic violence by spouses The National Police Agency announced that the number of cases of domestic violence by spouses was 84,493 in 2022 (provisional figures). The number of cases had increased by 18,000 cases from last year to The number of cases had increased for 18 consecutive years until last year. The number of cases of domestic violence by spouses had been increasing for 18 consecutive years until last year, and this number is expected to further increase.

In the past few years, the number of domestic violence cases in Japan has increased rapidly due to the COVID-19 crisis. Therefore, although there had been some expectation that the number of cases would decrease to some extent once the COVID-19 crisis subsided, the phenomenon of an even greater increase has occurred.

Needless to say, domestic violence is violence by a spouse or lover.

Statistics show that 80% of victims are women (wives) and 20% are men (husbands), but in reality the percentage of female perpetrators is said to be a little higher. Male domestic violence often manifests itself in the form of direct violence that harms the victim, while female domestic violence manifests itself in the form of mental stress on the partner.

When domestic violence occurs in the home, one of the problems victims face is housing.

If the victim wants to escape the violence that is occurring in her home, she will have to leave her current address. However, when this is combined with the inability to rely on family, lack of friends, and lack of money to rent a new place to live, the victim is left without a place to live.

Teens Teens to 40s The “Young Homeless” series follows people in their teens to 40s who have lost their homes. In this issue, we would like to shed light on the realities and support for victims of domestic violence after they leave their homes.

Some women had children while still unmarried in their teens.

One of the institutions in Japan that support mothers and children who have been victims of domestic violence is the “Maternal and Child Living Support Facility. It used to be called a “mother-child dormitory.

In the early years following the end of the war, it was a facility to help widows who had lost their husbands. However, as time went by, it was transformed into a business that provided housing for mothers and children who had been forced to leave their homes due to domestic violence or their husbands’ loan problems. In recent years, more and more mothers and their children who lack the ability to take care of their children are being accepted.

Takako Ueda (pseudonym), who works as a mother-child support worker at a mother-child living support facility, says, “There are two main types of people who come to the facility.

There are two main types of cases that come to the facility. In recent years, there have been many cases of parents who are generally weak in their ability to raise their children. Some of the mothers are Teenagers Some mothers have children in their teens while still unmarried, or are unable to raise their children independently due to intellectual disabilities or mental illness. We accept these people and spend several years helping them to become independent.

Ueda continues, “The second case is one that has been around for a long time.

The second case is a victim of domestic violence, which has been around for a long time. Their husbands beat them at home, and although they escaped with their lives, they do not have a house to live in or even money to live on. These people are brought to a mother-child living support facility after they submit an SOS to the government.

Let me show you the main process of coming to a maternal and child living support facility.

Local governments throughout Japan have welfare offices, and one of their roles is to support families with children. One of their roles is to provide support for families with children. They mainly provide consultation services at their offices and receive reports from residents, and when they determine that a parent or child is in need of protection, they recommend that the child be placed in an institution.

The length of stay in a mother-child living support facility is basically one to three years. There, they receive childcare support, improve their mental health, find a new job, and find a new place to live, and leave the facility when they are ready to become independent.

However, the reality that the women who come here have faced and the ongoing problems they face is not easy. I would like to share two real-life examples through interviews.

Orie Tsukada ( 21 (21, pseudonym)

Orie Tsukada was born in Fukuoka Prefecture to a civil servant father and part-time mother; she had a younger brother two years younger than her, but he died of illness soon after birth.

Her father worked as a public servant in the municipal office, but his personal life was in disarray. He hardly received any salary at home, went out drinking every day, and had many affairs. Although her mother supported the family financially by holding down a part-time job, she often took out her resentment on Orie in the form of abuse.

Such a home was suffocating for Orie. She did not want to stay at home as long as possible, so she asked to be allowed to go to cram school. She went to cram school five days a week and stayed up late after returning home to study and review in her room. For her, studying was a way to escape the abuse.

These days suddenly changed when she was in her second year of junior high school. She fell in love with a college student who worked at a cram school. She went to his apartment and had sex with him whenever he asked her to. Perhaps she was seeking affection from the college student that she had not received from her parents.

Sexual Deviance Begins

This was the beginning of her sexual deviant behavior. She went to houses and hotels and had sexual intercourse with the men around her as they invited her. She says, “If I knew how to play outside the house, I would have been a bit more aggressive.

Once I learned how to play outside, I felt foolish for studying at a cram school to escape from my parents. It was more fun to go to hotels with men and have them feed me and buy me jewelry. So from the third year of junior high school, I stopped studying altogether and started playing with guys all the time.

She went to a local public school for high school, but dropped out after she was caught having sex with a boy in school during the first semester of her freshman year. After that, she rarely went home and spent her days wandering the streets at night, spending the night with a man she met that day.

Orie got married when she became pregnant. She was 18 years old. She was 18 years old. She was working in a pub at the time and was romantically involved with a boy there.

Over the objections of her parents, Orie gave birth to a baby boy, living in a one-room apartment and relying on her husband’s income for a while to raise the child. At first, her husband agreed.

However, after only a few months, the family began to fray. Her husband suddenly stopped paying into the apartment. When we asked him why, he told us that he was in substantial debt. Further investigation revealed that he had been dabbling in marijuana behind Orie’s back and was being hounded by black market money.

Her husband reopened the situation and said.

I can’t pay back the debt with just my earnings. You have to work too.

Orie left her child with her husband and decided to work at a cabaret club. Then her husband gradually became jealous, made accusations that she was coming home late and that she should not contact her customers, and became violent. I later found out that at this point, her husband was suffering from a mental disorder caused by the marijuana.

Orie says, “The violence got worse and worse.

The violence got worse and worse. For me, it was annoying to be told that my husband was cheating on me when I was working to pay his debts and make ends meet. So when I complained, they beat me to a pulp with kettles and pots. I was once locked in the bathroom for three days and not given any food. I really thought that I was fine, but my son was going to die.

Orie decided to escape in order to save her child’s life. One day, she pretended to go shopping and ran straight to the house of a co-worker at the pub where she used to work.

At the house, her friend also had a two-year-old child, so Orie was allowed to stay while she babysat. However, with no income, she could not stay in their care forever.

I’m going to kill whoever is harboring him.

Two months later, Orie gathered her courage, called her husband and asked him to leave her. He told her, “If that’s the case, I’m going to pay for everything I’ve spent my life doing.

Then, pay me all the money you have spent so far. All of it. 5 million. If you don’t agree to it, I don’t care what you have to pay me. If you don’t agree to it, I will do everything I can to find out where you are and kill whoever is harboring you.

The ex-boyfriend’s husband has a network in the nightlife district. If she made full use of it, he would find her sooner or later.

Orie decided not to bother her friend and decided to earn money by staying at a business hotel and doing adult live-streaming there. During the streaming, she locked her children in the bathtub while she streamed naked in bed.

I managed to make enough money to cover my daily hotel and food expenses. However, she could not continue this lifestyle with her small child.

So she turned to a government counseling service she found on the Internet. As soon as she heard about the situation, the person in charge decided that it would be dangerous to leave Orie and her son in Fukuoka. She decided to send them to a mother-child living support facility in another prefecture.

The situation of mothers and children fleeing from domestic violence is extremely severe. In Part 2, we will introduce the real life of a 28-year-old woman who was a victim of domestic violence until she was rescued by a support facility, and the even harsher situation of a mother and her child.
