It hasn't worked fine. Any Japanese father who cares about his children is screwed under these laws, which we must point out are relatively recent laws in Japanese history. Nothing Japanese about them, if anything these laws ironically came about because of surrendering to Americans.

The current situation is in many cases, in Japan it suffices only to accuse someone. It's automatically assumed that the person is guilty, which has the perverse result that people who know this abuse the system and accuse the innocent.

Refer to the story of Narbonensis, who merely denied his…
