"I wonder if I can ever be part of a family," said a 19-year-old girl from the Kanto region who moved from one foster family to another.

After being abused by her birth father, the girl was taken into temporary custody by a child consultation center in 2016, when she was in junior high school. She lived in a child welfare facility until she graduated from junior high school in the spring of 2018.
