The victim is the child.

In Japan, your family kills you.

The ruling wraps more cotton wool around the unresilient mind. It does not help someone build mental resilience to survive in this world.

Keep on stepping down, down, down... No amore lost for Mori.

For what political reason did the US Government throw these American citizens under a bus?

What does Naomi think about it?

It begs the question who are the paedophiles enforcing these regulations?

When does the amount of overtime become evidence of incompetence?

This has absolutely nothing to do with gender equality.

The darkside of kawaii culture...

Didn't anyone notice some of the children are actually walking on the road...

Japan is an advanced country...

Where are the parents?

A leader more concerned about personal world records than the needs of his people.

I support Ms. Ito but not in this action.

But Mr Aso, Abe gets most of his shut eye in the Diet.

Japan stop sexualising children.

Japan is a safe country.

There are so many other alternatives than killing your children. Why do so many parents particularly mothers choose murder?

@Cricky would you prefer a competent manager or one chosen based on some arbitrary criteria such as gender, sexual preference etc?

Joint custody after separation and divorce is very beneficial for children and even mothers too. However, the Minister of Justice appears to prefer one parent usually the father is a mere bank account than a parent. You reap what you sew Japan.

Maybe it's time to retrofit apartment windows in Japan with child safety locks.

Also, those MOFA Hague Convention successful child return and return order stats are highly suspect.

@JCosplay

Conversely, abusive partners could flee to Japan to avoid taking responsibility for their actions. In either case these matters should be dealt with in the jurisdiction the child was abducted from.

Pathetic mother complex....

Ironically caused by women.

Japan does not extradite its citizens on the FBI most wanted list. So why should the US extradite its citizens to the Japanese hostage justice system?

Innocent until proven guilty.

The Japanese government has shown time and time again it needs to be pushed to wake up and act. Is the Japanese government too obese with corruption and cronyism? Had the ruling party been in power without any accountability for too long and is complacent?
