Comments on: American Dad Jailed in Japan for Trying to Bring Kids Home http://www.8asians.com/2009/09/30/american-dad-jailed-in-japan-for-trying-to-bring-kids-home/ A blog for Asian Americans Mon, 13 Feb 2012 06:50:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Mike70 http://www.8asians.com/2009/09/30/american-dad-jailed-in-japan-for-trying-to-bring-kids-home/comment-page-1/#comment-128501 Mike70 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 12:14:25 +0000 http://www.8asians.com/?p=3831#comment-128501 I heard that before they got a divorce in Japan, he convinced his wife into moving to the US where they could "start new lives" and work things out. Once they live there for only a few months, he filed for divorce without trying to work things out. I assume he was hoping the US laws would favor keeping the kids in the US but they lived in Japan and the kids grew up in Japan so it does not seem so strange that the wife felt betrayed and moved back there. I also hear this guy is already re-married. Can anyone confirm this?

Stupid CNN is so biased on this coverage, I bet this isn't the full story isn't here too.

I think both parents are guilty.

Western weddings do not register as legal in Japan so that woman can not be arrested because technically she didn't break the law.

(I agree with this legal wedding restriction because it safeguards Japanese wedding culture)

Well we know that Asian Woman and White Men never really matched to begin with and for cultural reasons they don't work out. Probably all that Hollywood influence got to them and she wasn't the geisha he thought and he wasn't the handsome white prince..

Now the kids will suffer because of it.
