Ridiculous.

Hopefully it works out in the father's defense.
From the article and the video, Japan really needs to review how it will treat these sort of cases.

How it is now, just doesn't work.

Just as the article said:
"concerns about Japan ... providing a place for people to abduct children and go to. The parent left behind does not have recourse."

That could be a small factor, I guess.
Though, the video mentions Japan views it as the mother has custody over the kids, I guess you can't really rule that out.
