How about the threewheeler taxi in the back.
well the issue is universal

cool gesture. lol at the blue scooter in the background, I didn't know Harley-Davidson made scooters already! I wish there would be a bicycle version of this, I'd definitely join that. I wish they would slowly cruise by the homes of known child abusers and molesters while revving their engines as part of the parade. A single Harley is loud enough to wake up an entire street, imagine having an entire column of them.

It would be nice if the J police motor bike patrol gave them an escort as well.

Harley Davidson bikers ?
LOL, you have to remake the photo.

I visit our local mother/child center - DV - every year to drop of the clothes my children have outgrown. They're typical American clothes, mostly Target, but beyond the reach of even the most affluent Japanese. The center always sends me a thank-you card. I recommend you do the same.

while I applaud their motivation, I think it is time to make some restrictions on engine loudness, at least in crowded cities like Tokyo. And I say this as a more than 20 years experienced biker. Harleys are some of the worst offenders, together with tuned up bikes and trucks

Rumor has it he started the parade from that 'No Entry' sign last Friday.
Best rumor ever :)

Kudos to all involved. Child abuse is one of Japan's greatest underreported tragedies, and risks being repeated from one generation to the next without proper intervention.

I’m glad that all child abuse is reported in the world.

Well done everyone who took part and helped

Is that a 50cc Blue Harley in Davidson am seeing in the picture :)?
what a beast :)

I would personally venture a guess here that it is at least 10 times higher than this, because this is only what is actually investigated and or reported.
Far too many cases of DV here do not get reported, and it's the kids that suffer the most!

Keep up the good work guys! Thanks for making a difference

Great job guys!
In some other developed countries, it would now be illegal for them to gather in a group...
