How bizarre child custody laws in Japan have adversely impacted many Australian parents.
Synopsis: Kidnapped In Japan: Update (2024)
There are many wonderful things about Japan, but the way the country deals with child custody disputes is not one of them.
The Japanese have a bizarre law that allows a disgruntled parent who separates from a spouse to literally abduct the children and run away.
In those circumstances, it makes kidnapping legal.
Worryingly, an increasing number of Australians, whose relationships with their Japanese partners have ended, have found themselves permanently cut off from their kids.
It’s a heartbreaking situation, but on assignment for 60 MINUTES,
The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age’s Eryk Bagshaw reports that there might finally be some hope for change.
And it’s in no small way thanks to some extraordinary efforts in Canberra.
