The below links contain some resources to learn more about international child abductions. While we are not affiliated with these organizations we do support their causes. We encourage you to visit these sites to learn more about Japanese Child Abductions and affects this situation has on the 1000′s of people around the world.
CRN Japan: Disseminates information to help change attitudes and laws in Japan in order to assure all children of direct, meaningful and continuing contact with both parents, regardless of citizenship, marital status or gender.
Bring Sean Home Foundation: BSHF helps raise awareness of this issue and has provided lots of support to BACHome. Many members from the organization have joined BACHome at our awareness rally’s. David Goldman continues to raise awareness about this issue even though he has recovered his son.
IAPCR: The International Association for Parent Child Reunion, is an incorporated not-for-profit legal entity in Japan dedicated to law supporting parent and child communication and interaction.
Children’s Rights Council of Japan: CRC Japan was founded by David Brian Thomas and Walter Benda on May 5, 1996, “Children’s Day” in Japan. We are a child advocacy organization, offering information and resources for children’s rights issues in Japan, focusing on children of divorce, separation, or born out of wedlock.
Ken Connelly provides a lot of support to BACHome including writing most of our press releases. He is the author of “Throwing Stones; Parental Child Abduction through the Eyes of a Child”, and the first book in the “Finding Home” series. Mr. Connelly was kidnapped on October 10, 1980 in Orange, California, and recovered on December 5, 1983 in the small town of Bastrop, Texas.
Left Behind Parents in Japan: It’s the Japanese general understanding that if they divorce, the noncustodial parent won’t be able to see the kid again. Japanese family law has no provision for visitation rights. No legal regulations exist for determining the rights of the parent without custody to meet their children. Japan is an abduction-friendly country and a magnet for international child abduction. If you are left behind parents, join us and cooperate each other.
This website is about life in Japan from the viewpoint of one American-born writer residing in Sapporo, Japan, both before and after he became a naturalized Japanese citizen. It may interest people who want to know more about Japan, and how it affects residents who have the appearance and/or status of non-Japanese.
