8:35 am
fully a pretty good time to to let you guys say, i'm not assuming you hasn't spoken to a son and 2 daughters for 7 years notes and she says this father abducted the for that. what pressing out sort of kind of data, you click on the 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 with more than a 100000 children lose contact with the parents every year. assume

8:37 am
she's also received abusive messages from the children, quoting this cupid and tending it a go to hell for you or full. so what that is, you on the cost of the for the show. good that you know got it thing. so it is okay. don't look the coil. good book on i don't see it go through the night it when i drove, drove by me either one of them hurt, finishing fight it when it would 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 marshal to
8:38 am
a follow up. i did not know what to say. i thought the night that you've seen the feel still has the shift or service. you had some new i need go. why? one type on shore since the for the one i hated the ocean just did the book. i forgot that twice as me has off the quote to ground, to physical access to her children. both times it was denied. the petition is on going to 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 co team has also lost out in japan schools. it's been paid years since he last saw his son pop. the sole custody was prompted to his ex wife
8:39 am
the full, the 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 was out of the positive, a full scale more like you know, that kind of that's got the i wanted to talk to you a little bit to the time the. 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,
8:40 am
lets as in the, in the low the last time father and son. so each of that was when shinji was arrested last meeting at 90 mustang the one continued to do it opening. okay. for you talk to him, i stay where you and i need to opening up the upload and 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 wonderful,
8:41 am
you know, frustrated. so we'll get some more the facing to give me light them up on the so there's a multimeter and i see the vendor with any kind of music. it'll shinji says he was only released to pleading guilty to kidnapping his son to the mobiles in the service and more or less or more with the more users. so you want to just say that a little glass is inside them or they want. and i told them to the fees now remarried and has 2 children. both are kind of a high level, but is there one moment or more?
8:42 am
we'll be out of time to take a look. don't worry about the medical demo 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 are they doing it to me? it's not just japanese 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 being denied the right to see their children. and dr. growing international pressure on may, the 17th 2020 for 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
8:43 am
middle mind do you believe you'll see your child again? you can see that those and you still have faith in japan's justice system. since the frenchman vincent, the show has beaten up the full front of the left behind parents campaign. it's called 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,
8:44 am
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 didn't finish it stuff because you know what i mean. so if you all could, then i could just provide them to districts without and i wouldn't even recognize them. but 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 different vincent has resulted to desperate measures during the 2021 tokyo and in fix. he went on hunger strike for 20 days,
8:45 am
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 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. 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 thinking are also not getting off on the not that i see 40 to investigate with it. so then i'll get into the night with 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
8:46 am
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 oaks on the beat was that they'll kill for those i buy. so there's pretty guys out there. vincent 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.
8:47 am
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. 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
8:48 am
so believe is of domestic violence, of being among the most vocal critics of custody reforms. they want the new legislation script because they fear it could expose them and their children to danger the the this mother agreed to speak with one or one east of her lawyer as office as long as we didn't identify her model. what this will call you back, so instead of able to sort it all and all that and i don't, yeah, lots of stick with them. 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 for my husband since 2010 serve as an old muscle to come up. i know what to paul blunt, sol dallas,
8:49 am
and i guess i know you guys are up instituting each day. you know that the quote you have out of social studies, but must have with them via vertical food. they took off city japan, steegal systems as being adults with its reputation as one of the world's most developed countries. to get started, the g 7 didn't really think it will be nation. but until now japan was the only man that nope. 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,
8:50 am
one of them is now a young adult has agreed to talk to us the city. so man 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 felt different at that 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 and also loved my father so much. so i
8:51 am
really missed him. his classmates cool. these guys in the japanese wood for outside to he says he spoke to me as the other a few times on the phone before his mother tobate's the contact. so the last time that my father was when i was 11 or 12 years old, my mother had an explain the doubt much about why i came to japan. and i 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 somebody went there to meet him.
8:52 am
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 have the opportunity to, to build a 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 what do you have with his mother? when he returned to you and i thought very upset because there were so many stories
8:53 am
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 lost 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 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. but i think it is a really good change. i believe that every chosen has the right to build a relationship with both parents. that means that adults to support
8:54 am
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 must, so you can kind of more headaches. but in japanese families, the government sold his advice on the legal reform causal to that. and you'll see a little more about that. it's down to them 1st of to congregate the guardian 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
8:55 am
child wishes was ignored, syria hung up the whole day. ok. picking a height on your he also feels judges have too much power in child custody cases. since or near, i just don't know how you doing a higher anymore should already know that a little you also can or can also that's kind of ready to come. so they're gonna say bunk. i knew the hon bundle went out to you from oh, i don't know what the data store is. remote in the muscle. i don't know how you doing it. discussion will join it, sputtered or in this case more the, the change to the little 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
8:56 am
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, grief, dispatch. 10, set the and only sides of this debate. there's agreement on one thing. japan justice system has made a bad situation. the mount fuji is a long way from the frenzy attempt to you. it's one of japan's most enduring and powerful for follows of votes buddhism and should to
