A 34-year-old woman in Osaka, Japan, was suspected of fraudulently claiming insurance money. She refused to let her 8-year-old daughter eat and deliberately fed her laxatives, resulting in severe malnutrition for the girl. She also repeatedly sought medical treatment for hypoglycemia and was hospitalized for five years More than 40 times. The Osaka police received a notification from the relevant unit, arrested the woman in April this year, and prosecuted her today (18th). However, the girl’s mother denied the crime in the face of police interrogation, and the case is still to be clarified.

Japan’s “Yomiuri Shimbun” reported that 34-year-old Kasumi Kasumi and her 8-year-old daughter live in Daito City, Osaka Prefecture. The girl has been hospitalized for “Ketotic hypoglycemia” (Ketotic hypoglycemia) many times since 2018, and has been hospitalized 43 times in five years , a total of about 330 days. In February of this year, the girl was hospitalized again. During the period, the medical staff discovered that Honta actually asked her daughter to “don’t eat and go to sleep” on the phone, and sent a message that “even if it is very uncomfortable, you can’t eat.”

Not only that, but Hetian also told his daughter, “If someone asks you why you cry, it means you watched too many YouTube videos, so you were scolded by your mother.” The hospital suspected that the inside story was not pure. After questioning the girl, she learned that she had only eaten about 700 calories in total in the 3 days before hospitalization, and immediately reported to the police. In addition, the girl once revealed that she felt nauseous after taking the medicine given by her mother, and the police suspected that she might have been given laxatives by Konta.

After relevant investigations, the Osaka police believed that Wuta was suspected of serious crimes and arrested him in April this year. The police suspect that Gota prohibited her daughter from eating and feeding her laxatives, probably in order to fraudulently collect insurance money. It is estimated that she has fraudulently received about 5.7 million yen (approximately NT$1.27 million) from three institutions. Since Homada denied committing the crime, the Japanese prosecutors charged her with the crime of injury. As for the fraudulent claim of insurance money, further investigation is needed to clarify.
