Posted in: 39-year-old man arrested for abusing 3-year-old stepdaughter See in context
This type of story keeps repeating itself, doesn't it? How many times have we read about the single mom with small children who choose to deal with the abusive new "boyfriend" who not only mistreats her, but the children as well. Stories like these are always sad.

@Do the hustle
I'm sorry to hear (read) what you went through. I sympathize with the individuals who are going through and living that nightmare. It's infuriating to me. I say this regardless of the country where it happens. There are MANY fathers who just want to at least see their children but can't

My family and I visited this Aqua Park (Maxell Aqua Park) last July. We had a blast! The dolphin show was spectacular as well.

A few days ago I read an article about this on an Australian news site
https://www.smh.com.au/national/desperately-worried-australian-father-faces-jail-in-japan-amid-custody-battle-20191220-p53m09.html
I'm glad that he's out of jail and I hope he will be able to see his children soon.

wtfjapan: "The prosecutors are so determined to save face and get a conviction theyre prepared to torture people and manipulate statistics to support their cause. Its not just Ghosn pointing this out its also other Japanese lawyers as well."
Indeed.

@suomitheway
What about Canada's "hostage justice" system? Why aren't you complaining about how the Huawei CFO Meng is being detained for 2 years?
Meng was actually granted bail and she's actually enjoying some freedoms that Ghosn would have NEVER been granted with in Japan by their system. Your comparison failed miserably.
