Background

I traveled to Japan not just for business or tourism but also to see my son. One morning I was hidden behind some trees near the front of my son’s house, in a narrow public street.  I went near the house over 20 times, during the night, afternoon, morning…just by chance I would see him.  I would not go back to Spain without seeing my son  I just had to see him.  He is growing up so fast and I am unable to be with him.  I shouted to him: “…HELLO SON, I’M PAPA…” although he saw me and heard me he was scared and ran back into the house.  10 minutes later, the Japanese police was there.  I was refused to visit with my son!!  STOP JAPAN CHILD ABDUCTION!!
