Obviously, that's subjective and subject to debate. My initial problem was not which laws are better but rather the comparison with the North Korean abductions of Japanese citizens. As I said, child custody battles have nothing to do with the systematic abduction of Japanese citizens by North Korea. At least the kids in the child custody cases are with one parent. Japanese abductees are essentially prisoners in a foreign land.

I can't understand some of those posting comments. Was this little girl to blame for all the wrongs Japanese government did prior and during the WWII? Did she deserve such fate? No she didn't and you could show a little compassion. China to has very tarnished history(Tibet??), so does U.S. and many other countries, but that doesn't mean it's justifiable to abduct their citizens. And no I am not Japanese. In fact I live on a different continent, but crime is a crime no matter who is the victim.

Why should we American's care if North Korea abductes Japanese people? Japanese women abducted their kids from their American husbands.

@pmcpike It took decades to discover that these Japanese people had been abducted by North Korea. It's good at least that you know so soon where they are. Who abducted your kids? Japanese government? Who does not allow you to contact your kids? Japanese govermnent?

China, North Korea, and South Korea are all alike. North Korea is a little behind or ahead.

I'm find this hypocrisy disgusting. My two sons, aged 3 and 5, have been abducted and are being held in Japan. I have been allowed no contact with them, or information about them for the past 3 months. Japan's Government has a policy of harboring child abductors and refuses to help reunite foreign parents with their abducted children. According to the US Department of State - The Japanese Government has NEVER returned an abducted US citizen back the the US.

Many Japanese are being abducted by North-Korea.

They handed over the Japanese woman`s bone,but DNA was other someone`s.

South Korea makes us many trouble,but North Korea is much more worse.

We must not allow the argument "at least the children are with a parent" to pass unchallenged. The profile of child abductors is the same regardless of the prior relationship; & most importantly, the damage to child victims must not be discounted nor minimized, which this argument tries to do. This is not "subjective" or debatable, but an empty claim that only serves to distract from the epidemic of the crime of child abduction by the Japanese..
