The case involved a first-year male student at Kurate High School who, between May and October 2023, was photographed by classmates in inappropriate situations, with images shared on social media groups. The student later stopped attending school and transferred. The incident was officially recognized as a serious bullying case, prompting an investigation. While national guidelines recommend disclosure to prevent recurrence, Fukuoka had not previously published such reports. Officials said the release is intended to encourage broader awareness of bullying prevention while ensuring the timing would not adversely affect students. <strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/kbc.co.jp\/news\/article.php?id=17139671&#038;ymd=2026-04-01\" target=\"_blank\">KBC News<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/news.ntv.co.jp\/n\/fbs\/category\/society\/fsbe991fff2c4645ef870c16b9974886fd\" target=\"_blank\">FBS News<\/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\/2026\/04\/fnn_fukuoka-releases-school-bullying-report_2026_cl.jpg?resize=1396%2C782&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1396\" height=\"782\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-176861\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fnn_fukuoka-releases-school-bullying-report_2026_cl.jpg?w=1396&amp;ssl=1 1396w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fnn_fukuoka-releases-school-bullying-report_2026_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fnn_fukuoka-releases-school-bullying-report_2026_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C574&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fnn_fukuoka-releases-school-bullying-report_2026_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C430&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>Photo: KBC News<\/p>\n<p>Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &#038; Kyushu news and events in English.
