Police arrest Nagano librarian for posing as suicidal student

NAGANO — A 42-year-old librarian has been arrested for sending a bogus email in which she claimed to be a student planning to commit suicide, police said Monday. The email was sent to an elementary school in Ina, Nagano. The woman, identified as Manami Hirasawa, works in the school library.




According to police, Hirasawa pretended to be an ex-pupil of the school and sent the bogus email from her cell phone in the afternoon of Nov 15. "I was bullied in my fifth and sixth grade years, but the teachers didn't listen to me. I will kill myself in the evening of Nov 17," the email read. The school cancelled all classes that day and searched for the student in question.

On Monday, the board of education in Ina held a press conference and apologized for the misconduct of its employee. "I did it because I was frustrated," Hirawasa was quoted as saying by police.

No, you did it because you're an attention-seeking hog. Plus, you have some serious psychological problems.

I can understand her frustration but there are better ways to get the message across. I am a librarian and I would never consider doing something like that, however I would consider becoming involved in an organization that would help both the bullied and the bullies. The bullies need as much help as those who are bullied. I was bullied at school and tne memories never seem to go away.

I guess they don't have to take bullying seriously any more. The frenzy was whipped up with hoax letters and fake emails, the education reform law was passed, and so they don't need to pay attention to it any more.
