The child had multiple subcutaneous bruises on his body, leading authorities to investigate whether he had been routinely assaulted. Fujii was apprehended on Monday, August 17, for allegedly kicking Itsuki on a street in Yokohama's Midori Ward. She later admitted to the allegation, stating that she \"got irritated and kicked him.\" Police revealed that Fujii first met Saito on social media around September the previous year. On August 14, she traveled from Yamaguchi Prefecture, accompanied by her three children, to stay with Saito in Yokohama. Fujii was arrested over the alleged assault on the boy on August 15 and was later served with another arrest warrant for a separate assault.",
