How “Squid Sushi” Saved the Lives of Kindergarteners #Shorts
There was a horrifying incident in November 2021 where a man with a knife broke into a kindergarten in Miyagi prefecture. Miraculously however, no one was hurt, thanks to the kindergarten staff delivering “squid sushi.”
Squid sushi is “いかのおすし” in Japanese, and this is a crime prevention slogan for kids based on word association.
いか：行かない Do not follow strangers
の：乗らない Do not ride strangers’ cars
お：大声を出す Scream when in an emergency
す：すぐに逃げる Run immediately
し：知らせる Inform adults ASAP
A kindergarten staff member who was playing with the kids noticed a suspicious man outside, and took the children indoors telling them “It’s going to rain.” Afterwards, he told his coworkers “Squid Sushi (いかのおすし) has been delivered,” which was a code meaning the children needed to evacuate immediately.
Thanks to this judgment, the staff succeeded in seizing the criminal without provoking him.
The criminal later confessed that he wanted a death penalty by killing 2 or 3 of the kids.
There have been many of such horrific cases recently, such as the “Joker incident” in Tokyo, and I hope that immediate action will be taken to prevent them from happening.
