Neighbor reported children's cries
Local Japanese News In English
Two young children died after being abandoned by their mother in a garbage-filled Osaka apartment, despite repeated calls to child welfare officers from a neighbor reporting the children's cries.
The officials visited the apartment on five occasions between March and May but made no attempt to enter or contact the police.
The partly decomposed and skeletonized remains of 3-year-old Sakurako Hagi and her brother Kaede, 1, were discovered in the apartment in Nishi Ward on Friday morning.
Police said they may have starved to death and had been dead for a month or two. They were not wearing any clothes. (Asahi)

That is sad that these two children sat there and starved to death even after neighbors complained that children were in there crying. I am not sure I would have just sat around and let this happen. The police or social services should be held responsible for these two deaths.
I wouldn't like to even begin to think of the suffering that these two small children went through, but it angers me to think that although reports were made and not acted properly on..nobody missed these children, which makes it extra tragic.

Oh wow I hope the parents are put to DEATH but first the mother should be tortured and let it suffer in the same way her children did. I am speechless.
