Joint Custody (Part I) clip by Asahi Broadcasting Corporation Osaka

Asahi Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) televised a short 14 minute piece on Joint Custody (Kyoudou Shinken) on June 8th. It was a short but good program aired in Osaka that focused on 2 women. One woman can only see her kids 4 times per year when the kids spend the day at her parents house. The other woman's children are in America (Utah). Since Japan has not signed the Hague Convention on the International Aspects of Child Abduction the father will not let the children visit Japan. She would like Japan to sign the Hague so her kids can come to Japan and visit and learn about Japanese culture. ABC said they would do more stories related to this issue in the future. Hopefully, they will continue their series on "how to help children". Please watch the two part video. Two lawyers and some other parents also voice their opinions in the video.
