Not only does Japan use allocated funds which were graciously donated by the international community to help and aid the vicims of the tsunami and lies about scientic reasearch (has anyone seen any evidence of their research data?). It also has an atrocious record for international child abduction. As a Left behind Parent I think it is ridiculous for Japan to condemn North Korea when it is responsible for the illegal abduction of hundreds of children! Shame on you Japan!

My wife abducted my two sons from Australia in 2009. Since then there has not been a thing I can do. If you are a foreigner you do not stand a chance against a legal system that is simply racist. Japanese courts habitually award children to their Japanese parents, visitation is always denied and if anything were to happen to my ex, my sons would be awarded to her mother. If she were to re-marry, her new husband could legally adopt my sons and once she gains custody, my name is removed from the koseki. What a disgusting system.
