You are so right in your writing! The courts are so backwards. I went to Family Court to negotiate visitation rights, and was told by the mediators there that two hours a month is a fair settlement. I tried to argue the fact that I'm paying child support, and shouldn't I have rights as a father. I felt as if I was a criminal.
According to an International lawyer, I was told that FC can't do jack squat, and they're afraid to enforce rules because they don't want to be pin-pointed as the "bad guy." They want to promote talks.
My ex-???? made up every lie in the book to make me look like a criminal. She even went as far as to say that I got out of a black van with 5 other men in suits, and surrounded the court building!!! Of course her accusations were false, but it was only family court, and she's allowed to LIE all she wants.
The seriousness of this matter affects the child and his/her well being. Crazed and psychotic mothers should be examined, re-examined, and monitored to be sure that they're fit to be a parent. Not some biotch seeking revenge...which is exactly what the "other one" is doing. And, they should be held accountable by a real court of law for all of their false accusations and fabrications.

Well, I agree that it was not smart on his part to come into a foreign country and expect to snatch the children without having to face the consequences. There's no way that he would have escaped - especially since he did it while his ex-walked the children to school.
Japan will recognize that as a crime because dual-custody doesn't exist (YET) in a separation/divorce situation.
Regardless of who he married after is irrelevant. His actions demonstrated his love and desperation to be with his kids. Why can't people see that?! YES it was foolish on his part to do what he did, but because of that, the spotlight is on JAPAN. Hague Convention! I'm glad for the media coverage and attention.

And that is exactly true! The natural rights of both parents. The Japanese Government does NOT own the children, nor does the wife or husband that abducts or kidnaps the child/children. The left-behind parents and the children suffer, but Japan could care less. Don't be fooled by the bowing gestures and pretentious smiles. It's termed "hone/tatemae" here...a common practice.
I am presently one of the unfortunate that is experiencing what it is like in Japan. The legal process goes on and on, for years. The child/children are being played like a pawn. It makes you wonder why the suicidal rate in Japan grows higher each year. Such corruption!

Unfortunately for many foreigners, this type of behavior by the Japanese wives are pretty common. She (they) know that they will get away by kidnapping/abducting the child/children, and the Japanese Laws will protect them. What makes it worse is, under the laws here, if she supports the child for 30 days...she will be granted custody - regardless of the situation. Japan does not recognize joint-custody like we do in the United States.
And, being that the wife has all the rights, she can basically resist or cut the husband off completely from ever seeing or contacting the child again. A wife taking a child away is not a crime here in Japan. They do not recognize it as "kidnapping." This has happened to me, and she lied to the hilt - to get the authorities to protect her. (cried domestic violence, but that has NEVER happened.) To this day, she continues on with her stories. But you can't change the truth, so her lies are catching up with her.
Hopefully Japan will see the light, and realize that the child/children should have both parents in their lives. Balance is the key for a child's life.
When a young child grows up, he or she will eventually learn the truth of what really happened, and things may backfire. I will be a SAD DAY when that happens.

Regardless if the mother was a work, shopping, out with friends, etc., the dick-lick has NO RIGHT to be beating on a helpless 2 month old - yet alone a child! Put him in the slammer where he belongs! Let the boys take care of the looser. I just hope the baby gets better, and lives a normal life without abusive parents. That totally sucks! I hate child abusers!
