Ms. Ogata may be reprimanded by the leadership of the City Council. The chair is reportedly considering issuing a “strong warning” (厳重注意) to her and demanding that she apologize. RKK reports that the reason for the reprimand is not that she brought her child into the chambers but that her action caused a delay in the start of the meeting.

When I first posted this note about the RKK report the following link was valid:

However, in just two hours (less than 24 since the original news broadcast) it has been taken down. Hmmm . . .

P.S. I was concerned about what might be said about Ms. Ogata on the web by various misogynistic trolls but this possibility did not occur to me. :(
