  • Sayonara Baby (2012): Separate parents in Japan have no form of law to refer to when it comes to child custody. Therefore many exploit the system and kidnap their children, and thus avoid any legal actions common in the rest of the world.

    If your children had been snatched by your partner and taken overseas you'd hope the authorities would do everything in their power to retrieve them. But in Japan, the law is on the side of the kidnapper.
    "I thought, she can't kidnap my kid, I'll just go to the police. The first 2 or 3 months I was shattered, the first 6 months I was numb". In Japan, a combination of law and custom has meant that many separated parents are trapped in a heartbreaking, Kafkaesque hell, unable to see their children and stymied by a system on the side of the child's kidnapper. The country has become a refuge for parents who have run away from their partner, taking their children with them."There is no body of law there called Family Law", says professor Colin Jones. Japan has long resisted signing up to the Hague Convention that sets out the rules for these cases, despite intense international pressure. In an extraordinary case, Regan Haight managed to get her children back by hiring a former SAS officer and taking matters into her own hands. But happy endings are rare and currently none of the so-called 'left-behind parents' are holding their breath.

      I can tell you what happens often.. the Japanese women come to the west as they dont like Japan.. often run away from that place.. so they come to start a family in th west.. bu there issue tis they bring their culture here and all they learn in Japan also.. so when they realise that the western dad they married is just too different from them and they have totally opposite believes and practices.. the woman starts to get highly stressed out and pissed of and unhappy, then there becomes huge hostility in the house and in my case the wife starts behaving really out of line and desperate,,, then one day she. decides she needs to be back in the country she ran away from.. but sadly she steals the kid from dad and runs back there on her own without telling dad... and so the story ends and dads life with his kid ends too .. thats one of the many reasons.. please dont be fooled thinking they are running away from a violent western dad..NO FUKIN WAY.. its far from not in these cases... in fact the Japanese women get so stressed out that they start showing who they really are and start being violent to the dad and abusixe mentally and physically,,

      Japan fosters a culture of sexual deviance. They openly admit cheating in marriages. Western ethics do not align with most of Asia's ethics.

      Many times these programs want to interview the abductor parent but they decline. Sometimes it may be true physical and mental abuse. Some are people that do not want to be with the other person and is selfish and want to raise the child the way they want without an potentially objecting ex. If they have nothing to hide then the abductors should be proud to share their side of the stories. Japan has a declining population, I wonder if they want to have more citizens even if they are abducted children. Also, very biased to think children should belong with mothers. Not all mothers are cable and good mothers.

    If Japan wants to increase their birthrate, they need to fix this and automatically give shared custody in a divorce except in cases of verifiable child abuse. Ppl won't have kids if they know that if things don't work out that the other can abduct their own kids with impunity. It's detrimental to children as well.

      Not before age 5. Please study attachment parenting. Attachment breaks with the mom cause trust issues. Kids who are seperated from their moms will grow up to become stalkers and kill their partners when the partner dumps them. Watch Dr. Faye Snyder videos on that issue. She says seperation from the mom at age 3 causes ADHD. She says babies age 1 and under can't be without their mom more than 1 hour per week. Age 2, 2 hours. Age 3, 3 hours.

      It’s literally about identity. Some of the parents feel that if they take their kid the kids are taken away to another country. The kids will be considered foreigners and not Japanese so I think they take the kids so that the kids will be considered or have Japanese identity because identity or nationalism is very strong over there, so strong to the point where even if their kids are half Japanese in some Japanese people’s eyes they’re still considered foreigners, even if they have Japanese blood running through the veins

That’s what cowards do what about the other Incident where the mother left the child that was disabled and didn’t tell her husband she was pregnant and had a another baby and when he went to go see her because he found out he had another child. She called the police on him that’s not heroic that’s cowardice it’s kidnapping point blank. And In America they all be in jail. and that’s the point why go to another country and marry somebody that doesn’t look like you that doesn’t sound like you that’s foreign from you and then you have the sense of home all of a sudden and want to bring them to Japan and you kidnap them that does not make any sense to me it’s like they’re trying to force their children to only be Japanese and be nothing else so they’ll be excepted by Japanese culture.

    Thankfully a lot is changing (sadly in a way too). My daughter is half Japanese and we have lived happily in NZ for 16 years. His mother initially was a bit hesitant but she came around. So much so that on one visit back to Japan, my father in-law commented that our relationship seemed so happy, he was so in control of his family and his wife especially and started to understand how things could be better. The last thing he said to my husband was “I’m so proud of you for being with a kiwi and having a happy family” we left back to Nz and 2 weeks later we found out he killed himself. Very sad. His mother though seems a lot happier and free. She has always been welcoming and inviting. I can’t wait to go back again soon :) my favourite country!

To just sit there for year after year not being able to speak or move or do anything at all. It seems more like torture, I’ve taken adderall and muscle relaxers at the same time and it was a sort of torture. Having ur mind aware but your body unable to do anything to keep up with your mind. It’s maddening. At one point you have ask yourself, is there life? Or mere existence? I think we all deserve a good chance at living our lives no matter what, but if it was me in that state? Let me go and hopefully be reborn into a shell or body that works better.

    Japan is very notorious for Child abduction.
    For the time being, we have reached the point where we can legislate it. However, it is not known whether the abducted children will be returned immediately.
    I will propose a boycott of Japanese companies by organizations in Europe, the United States, and Australia whose children have been abducted to Japan.
    The number of 500 people issued by a member of the U.S. House of Representatives had an impact. Some of the abductees were members of the Marine Corps and navies. I believe that this is also a political issue related to the Japan-U.S. security agreement.
    Even if the Family Law is revised, it is unlikely that children will be returned to the abducted parents, and the problem is not reported by the media in Japan today. However, if it is treated as an economic issue, I think the media will handle it. Japan is also vulnerable to pressure from foreign countries, especially the U.S. District.

Plan and simple the parent doing the snatching is horribly wrong and minipulituve but like they say it's normal to them so it's probably ingrained in there heads from a young age by there parents. They need to break the chain or things are just going to get worse when the child grows up and realises what there parent has done and how there is a whole nother side to who they are and where they come from and it will breed hatred in the child.

    The American father who's wife abducted his kids should consider himself lucky he doesn't have to both lose his children and pay child support at the same time. In American that is the way it would be for him most of the time. Because women often want kids and not a permanent husband, I had a vasectomy at age 20. No man should be having children anymore at all. It's just not worth the risk.

      I'm pro-choice for women and men. When abortion is widely and safely available, there will be no valid reason for a man to be forced to support a child the woman chose not to abort. And any woman who keeps a child because a man promises to help raise it in any way should be able to get herself a legally binding contract obligating him to do so (with an opt-out only available if a paternity test is negative). A one-night-stand shouldn't have to ruin lives. I hate the stigma of shame around sex and birth control.
