In September, the first-year student was reportedly bound with a chain by these seniors \u2013 one in second-year, suspected of unlawful confinement, and another in third-year, suspected of assault. The Fukuoka District Public Prosecutor&#8217;s Office has taken decisive action in this case. The school administration, treating this as a grave matter under the Bullying Prevention Measures Promotion Act, has launched a thorough investigation to understand the full scope of the incident and to implement measures to prevent such occurrences in the future. <\/span><b>Source:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nhk.or.jp\/fukuoka-news\/20231204\/5010022655.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NHK<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fnn_basketball-school-unsplash_2023_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C933&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Chain Incident at Fukuoka School \" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-158568\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fnn_basketball-school-unsplash_2023_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fnn_basketball-school-unsplash_2023_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fnn_basketball-school-unsplash_2023_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fnn_basketball-school-unsplash_2023_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photo by<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@genefoto?utm_content=creditCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=unsplash\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gene Gallin<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/orange-basketball-on-brown-wooden-floor-u_yi-1kUh2o?utm_content=creditCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=unsplash\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unsplash<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
