He can start with allowing Child Welfare social workers unlimited access to a home of reported child abuse. Can't believe that a parent can refuse access to a home by Child Welfare to see if the child is okay.

Agree 100% But this has to come at a national level.

Good on her, this is an area that is in dire need of attention in Japan. And good on the person writing this article for actually using 'she'!

I believe "nyu-haffu" is the politically correct term, not "she"

I don't think so. That doesn't even make grammatical sense. This person is a woman, 'she' is appropriate.

Great platform to run on. An overhaul of the Family Law, the family registry system, and a whole host of policies needs to be overhauled to incorporate the the rights of children. I would very happily campaign for Professor Yasutomi.
