Meghan Fahlstrom comments

President Obama, please speak on behalf of our lost children. Japan is a haven for child abduction from which we American parents and children have our hands tied. We are at the mercy of barbaric Japanese laws. These laws, or the lack thereof, allow the disappearance of one parent entirely from innocent children. This is child abuse, pure and simple.

In my case, I have not seen my children, Austen and Kelcey, since they were 5 years old; that was 8 1/2 years ago! Since I separated from my estranged husband in 2003, he has not allowed me to see my children.

Our voices seem to fall on deaf ears. Mr. President, please be our voice - our CHILDREN'S VOICE on April 30th. I beg you...for my children's sake (and the sake of thousands of other American children lost in Japan).

May God bless you and your family.

Sincereley,

Meghan K. Fahlstrom-Ogawa
