7:36 pm
pushing out sort of the kind of data you left. so look at the best time to ship the room where you are students full of the the tube in child custody is always a sad process. but most of it seems in japan when more than a 100000 children lose contact with the parents every year. to assume he lives in a modest one bedroom ground floor apartment in chiva, about 50 kilometers from tokyo. she just manages to support herself by selling insurance in the civil what, what the state of florida, i didn't know this google gets there will be going to can you'll be sure to make sure what those that kind of big that you how come it did. what i needed, so give me a couple of tell us, i mean i don't, i save up to them and i see

7:38 pm
finishing fight it when it will be decided to leave a husband. it became a race to get the children initially, they were with her buck within full months. they were living with a husband and a judge rules. that's where they should stay. finding that as a children's father he hadn't kidnapped them. i know i'm not sure who to follow up. i did not know what to say. i thought the night that you've seen the feel still has the shift your service. you had some new i need go. wow. one who type on shore since the for the one i hated the ocean just did the book. i forgot that twice me has off the quote to ground to physical access to her children. both times it was denied. the petition is on
7:39 pm
going. it isn't it? in the line of the thing, what it's called the that's the was it the, i think the shinji jima has also lost out in japan schools. it's been paid years since he last saw his own positive sole custody was prompted to his ex wife the full of books, almost as not to use his real name. child custody disputes are a sensitive issue in japan for 6 months t. so is young. some once or twice a month, but then everything changed like i well the thing i was talking about the possibility of a full scale more like, you know, that kind of, that's got the, i wanted to talk you a little bit to the time the,
7:40 pm
the see says this video boy pleads to stay with shinji when his mother comes to collective, the monthly to shinji says he did what any father would do. he didn't return his son. his wife took him to cold, but the video had the opposite effect. yeah, lets as in the, in the me that was the last time father and son. so each of that was when shinji was arrested last night in mustang. no,
7:41 pm
i continued to do it opening. okay. for you talk to him last day. we didn't have any opening up the upload and then have it going to the site to get the tire was done to get them off. he was hill the 3 mean. so this police station sharing a cell with other main let's go down to tennessee or something. it's just a couple of miles away. and i said it was one of them, you know, frustrated. so we'll get some more the facing to give me light them up on the so presumably, and i see the binding with any kind of stuff. that's a good question. shinji says he was only released up to pleading guilty
7:42 pm
to kidnapping his son to the mobiles in the service. and more or less, the more was a more this is. so you want to just say that a little guy says, and so, you know, monday lot i and i told me to the fees now remarried and has 2 children. both are kind of a high level, but is there one moment or more? we'll be out of the time to take a look. don't worry about the middle. hold on. will that anymore? give me that senior. okay. when you start getting the site don't, we must a, my e mail, the more when he's on heck, right? that doing it to me. it's not just jeff denise parents to being fighting to the country. so custody little but for those to some of them are at this gathering. it's so cold. this behind parents who've been denied the
7:43 pm
right to see the children and dr. growing international pressure on may, the 17th 2024, japan's parliament changed little, allowing the cold to impose joint custody if it's deemed in the best interests of the child. so the party must minimize any other needs. so do you believe you'll see your child again? you can see that those and do you still have faith in japan's justice system? since the frenchman vincent v show has been at the full front of the left behind parents campaign. it's called
7:44 pm
the form of finance. here is high flying career p law. so his 2 children in august 2018 at the start of what he thought would be just another day on friday, 10th, 2008. and i came back from work and the house was empty, some thoughts or feelings. and i quickly realized that that was, it might, might, and my kids had been taken, and i tried getting ahold of my wife and she would and she would have replied, and then i went to, um, i went to the mailbox and i got a letter from her lawyer saying that my, my kids were taken that i should not expect to see them again. email, it's back home with his parents in the french city of miles say, returning to tokyo with every can. when he last saw his children, they would just instance. it's tough because you know what i mean. so if you all could, then i could just provide them the streets with that and i wouldn't even recognize
7:45 pm
them. the hardest part is not knowing how they looked like is, is not knowing how they are they all, it's all healthy. it's all happy and even if they need anything. so this is very difficult to, to, to handle it to be. frank vincent has resulted to desperate measures during the 2021 tokyo and then fix. he went on hunger strike for 20 days, losing 14 kilos. 3 years on he refuses to give up on his children. do you think you'll ever see them again? of course, because that i wouldn't be fighting if, if there was no hopes but i think it's going to take them out of 10 to 15 years. he's now one is his lawyer having already spent over $300000.00 on legal fees.
7:46 pm
i key right away, no, says the change to the law is superficial. put concedes it's his clients only have to have home phone guy cycle timeline. so they're small. i don't know. i don't hire me for some of the pilots and you know, also not getting off on the not that i see 40 to investigate with it. so then i'll get into the night with it. the acura was it left behind parent himself. he knows to well how difficult it is to in custody cases when the other parent has taken the children. how many cases have you taken on? and the best thing being was supposed to have done. why have gainesville and how many of you one, a cost dental uh uh it can douglas demo somebody mall so noble folks on the beat was that dealt with us. i buy. so there's pretty guys out there. vincent
7:47 pm
says, unless the new law is properly enforced, it's destined to fail. below is not gonna change much, i guess for me no more thing that is going to bring change for the next generation of children. but really it won't change anything to me. and the reason i'm saying that is the issue is not the low and drip on the it's front of the root of light. as it is a means case, a judge ruled they've been since children with mealy taken away and not kidnapped. it's a way for the japanese system to circumvent an international and, and even jump and subjugation to wisconsin abduction because they don't call each and abduction precise. so if you go to the police, it would be fuse you to choose that to. and when i was in court, many times i was telling the judge that my children had been abducted and i was threatened to be escorted out of the room. and i kept on using that word. japan's government has consistently claimed its compliance with international law.
7:48 pm
this is the family called with a face that so many children in japan is decided it's under the control of the justice administrator with officials declined our request for an interview. the so believe is of domestic violence, of being among the most vocal critics of custody reforms. they want the new legislation scrapped because they fit, it could expose them and their children to danger the the this mother agreed to speak with one or one east of her lawyers office. as long as we didn't identify her model.
7:49 pm
what this will call you back to hello. so starting with the surgical and all that, but they don't, yeah, lots of stick with them to. and i got to she says she left the relationship of 2 years of verbal and economic abuse and co us of control. she and her daughter, i've had no contact with the full my husband since 2010 a. there was an old muscle to come up. i know what to paul blunt, told ellison, i guess. i know you guys have openness children each day. you know that the cool. yeah. a lot of social studies must have gone by about vertical food. they took off city japan, steegal systems as being adults with its reputation as one of the world's most developed countries. it's part of the g 7. i didn't really think it will be nation . but until now, japan was the only man that nope,
7:50 pm
so deeply recognized the joint custody allies including australia, germany, and this elite of posted travel advisories. holding up the thread of parental child abductions. this is supposed to bring japan in line with most of the world, but no one it seems, is happy. parents separated from the children, say it doesn't go far enough. and victims of domestic violence say it could one small expose them to danger. and then as the voices of the children, one of them 2 is now a young adult has agreed to talk to us the city. so matt was born in america, would have spent 3 quarters of his life in japan. his japanese mother brought him here when he was 7. has to be. hi, it's adrian brown. he says she, they to told him thinks that his father was insane. at school. he
7:51 pm
felt different. and that's time. i think that makes various people. it's not that common was not that common in japan. my background was from a totally different culture from japan. so i stood up. i felt absolutely lonely because most family it has both parents and they have a happy life there. but for me, i just have my mother and my grandparents also love my father so much. so everyone missed him. his classmates, clothing guys in the japanese wood for outside to he says he spoke to be installed or a few times on the phone before his mother tobate's to the contract. so the last time that my father was when i was 11 or 12 years old,
7:52 pm
my mother had an explain the doubt much about why i came to japan. and that was a big question for me. and i always wanted to know why i can see my father looking for on says he began to search to find his father. he eventually discovered him on facebook, living in texas in 2023. and so we went back to meet him. well i think most people imagine like a really emotional meeting by hugging each other, but actually it wasn't felt like that they hadn't spoken for 11 years. he says at 1st the reunion was oakwood. we are father and son. but we need to the opportunity
7:53 pm
to, to build the relationship. so i guess that i have to ask as a son, and my father has to also add to add as a father, but he doesn't know how to the leasing with his father was a monk come for us to the one. do you have with his mother when he returned? and i thought very upset because there were so many stories that i heard. so we had a pretty big fight. his mother has now cut off contact with him to hold out hope that there can be a reconciliation. i really hope so. i just love both parents. so if i take my mother lose my father, if i take my father, i know there's no i just don't want that. i just want to have
7:54 pm
a relationship with both people. you don't want to take sides. yeah. i don't want to take sides. i don't how does that? he says his childhood left him with low self esteem. he welcomes the change to below. and i think it is a really good change. i believe that every children has the right to build a relationship with both parents. that means that adults to support the children's opinions. if i had to spend more time with my father, i'm sure that i was a more confidence to myself to accuse west suite a university as one of the country's most prestigious, no faculties. i've come here to meet professor,
7:55 pm
i must say you can you tell me no more. i'd expect in japanese family law. the government sold his advice of the legal reform causal to the then you'll see a little more about that. it's down to them. first of 2 connor got the grading and put them all zeroed up on what date on this one, what i'm going, you know, what i can do, you know, just it was over needed there. but his recommendation that the quote consider the child wishes was ignored. siri hung up the whole day. okay. got big enough. i don't know. he also feels judges have too much power in child custody cases. since or near, i just don't know how you doing the higher i knew what should already know that know, you also can know. can all say that's kind of ready to come. so they're gonna say
7:56 pm
bunk. i knew the hon bundle went out to you from oh, i don't know what the data still is. remote in the mess. i don't know how you doing it. discretion well is on it. see about it, or in this case, more the, the change to the law would be totally implemented until 2026. well, this is the bill, or rather a photocopy of the bill. and as you can see, it's a pretty way to legal documents. lots of words about joint costs that a sole custody of calls watts in the best interest of the child. but there's one issue. this document doesn't address parental abduction. every one we spoke to has been to the government to the emotions and grief, dispatch 10, set the and only sides of this debate. there's agreement
