Wait.. that's a fucking thing in Japan???

This type of thing happened to a guy on youtube called TechLead, his former wife just up and left him one day and stole the kid to Japan. Pretty crazy it's even possible.

For a moment I thought I was on r/japanesepeopletwitter with that title and initially thought this was a joke...

But then; Holy Fuck.

Crybabies moaning about losing chance to kidnap children with impunity. As far as I am concerned, such people should not have kids and I support them doing us all a favor and not having kids in the first place.

I am French and I watched a documentary about the father (the one holding the picture of his son) a few years ago. For context, his son was literally abducted by his mother and disappeared with the complicity of her family. At the time of the documentary, I think he hadn't seen his son for about two years. Now, after fighting tooth and nail to find out where his son is, he has finally traced him to his in-laws' house. In the documentary, he goes to the parents' house and asks to see his son. They refuse. He insists that at least his son receive a gift he brought and wants to give him. The in-laws continue to refuse and eventually call the police. After negotiation with the police, he asks to receive a photo of his son with the gift as proof that the child has received it. After 4 hours of negotiation, he will get a photo, the one we see in the picture. Here's the moment he receives the photo, at 16:46.

This story and this particular moment tore my heart apart. This story left me shocked for a few days, and I still think about it regularly. I sincerely hope he will be reunited with his son one day, and let's hope his son won't harbor hatred towards him despite the narrative his in-laws must be feeding him.

I can try to translate the documentary if enough ppl are interested,also the autotranslator is not half bad but the tldw is: if you are a foreigner and have a child with a japanese woman, you're basically fucked if she decide to leave. No one, not even the justice or the police will help you.

When you’re privileged, equality feels like oppression.

Remember when men came first in Japan? When did we become a clown world? Children need both parents. Mothers are not more important than a father in the upbringing of a child. Statistics have shown this time and time again

I need context

Real-Turnover-7289 · 2024-04-13T19:52:54+00:00

Wait, so is the petition for joint custody or is it for the women trying to shoot the bill down ?

Ok_Solid_5038 · 2024-04-13T15:36:12+00:00

HOLY SHIT!

Argosy37 · 2024-04-13T15:51:08+00:00

Yup, I have heard of this. Looks like it’s joint custody period eh? Hope it passes. The article linked says passed committee only.

WeEatBabies · 2024-04-13T21:02:17+00:00

Any feminists here?

Want to come explain to me again that #feminism is about equality?

One parent can legally take a child anywhere in the US for an indefinite time period as long as the parent doesn't take them outside of the US. The only option is to file for custody via courts which can cost major money.

There is no law against taking a child away from the other parent in most states in the US, so this is very close to the laws in the US.

Shush you baka, passport bros will hear you

Anyways, this is bizarre. Idk why their culture is so obsessed with children (and white skin)

I remember, a similar tweet blowing up during covid

queenAlexislexis · 2024-04-16T04:56:57+00:00

That’s a law?

Mycroft033 · 2024-04-13T17:18:21+00:00

Does anyone have like a translation or something? I uh, can’t read japanese
