it is common for a woman to keep her married name even after divorce. changing back to your maiden name is too troublesome and sometimes expensive.
partly true. i am a foreign woman living in jp with young kids. i don't have much of a support system here, and im going thru a rough time with my husband now. however, i don't want to run back to my home country (just yet) without giving it a better go, as i don't want to split the family. bad person or not, my kids still need their father. meanwhile gambaro for me. if however, it doesn't work out for me, i may consider returning to my home country, but not because there isn't a support system in place for me here, it's because i would want to go home and be near my own family for moral support.
this woman may have scooped the kids up and ran back to japan because she wanted to be near her own family for moral support. she may not have had anywhere to 'run' to for help as the US is not her 'home'. (im pretty sure the US does have a support system in place for divorcees). she may have just felt desparate.
i do not condone what she did. in fact, i think it was very selfish of her to take the kids back to jp without consent from her ex, but she may have been desparate and just wanted to 'hurt' her ex-husband.
this poor father is just doing what she did in the US. he's bringing the kids back to where they were before the divorce happened. his efforts got him arrested. her's did not. very unfair.
the victims ofcourse are the kids. poor them.
i hope they both hire good lawyers and fix this soon.

smaller country with millions of cars on the roads = less space between cars = more tailgating.. so dangerous.

too little too late. how long does it take to do up an arrest warrant? sounds like lazy bs trying to cover their own rear. if i were the parents of this young lady, id be sure mad at the cops.

the mother should be commended for trying to save her own child. accidents happen, even with precautions in place. we were not there, so why put blame? would blaming help anyway? she's gone now unfortunately. poor boys watched their own mother die. how very sad. RIP brave mother.

kwatt is not entirely wrong. there are hospitals that induce births in japan, but certainly not at the doctor's convenience. mostly the mother's. it's called a planned delivery. there's nothing wrong with having an artificailly induced labour even if the mother is not late or has no probs, if it is around the due date.

omg! giving birth is so painful and messy. to do it in a net cafe toilet, then leave him there, she must've been so desparate. i hope the baby finds a loving home. sex education sucks in jp.
