The Nagasaki Family Court on Monday sent a 12-year-old boy who killed a 4-year-old boy in July to a special facility designed to help children adapt to society.
After assessing a psychiatric report on the boy submitted earlier this month, presiding Judge Hiroko Ito said special restrictions will be placed on the boy at the facility for the maximum one year, according to a court official. The session was not open to the public.
Later in the day, the boy arrived at the facility, in Saitama.
