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.
