As you can imagine, parents with children abducted to Japan have been going through a very difficult time right now sick with worry about our children and trying to get the State Department to locate and contact our children. Many of the American left-behind parents living in Tokyo have evacuated to other areas, unfortunately without their abducted children.
Contact with them is sporadic at best, since they are travelling to many different places. As of right now, Bring Abducted Children Home (BAC Home) has compiled a list of 16 abducted children who are missing in the wake of the earthquake and tsunami. BAC Home has sent two letters to the Secretary of State asking that State provide passports for our children and that our children be evacuated. The missing children are as follows:
Kianna Berg, Gunnar Berg, Keisuke Collins, Michiru Donaldson, Kai Endo, David Gesselman, Joshua Gesselman, Lauren Mihiro Gherbetti (Canadian), Julia Carmen Gherbetti (Canadian), Ayako Lucy Greenberg, Shanon Yuda Ishida, Riki Ishida, Ricky Kephart, Noelle Kephart, Mary Victoria Lake, Yuuki McCoy, Kaito Matsumoto MacDonald (Canadian), “Mochi” Atomu Imoto Morehouse, Rui Prager, Rion Suzuki, Tiana Weed, Takoda Weed and Kaya Wong.
Particularly hard hit is Bruce Gherbetti, a Canadian citizen whose 3 children, Rion Suzuki (age 8, Lauren Mihiro Gherbetti (age 6) and Julia Carmen Gherbetti (age 3), were living in Iwake City in Fukushima Prefecture. Iwaki was very hard hit by the tsunami. He managed to contact a friend who lived 10 miles away, but they were unable to leave home to search for his children due to high levels of radiation from the Fukushima Nuclear reactor.
Please write to the State Department and your elected officials and ask them to not forget the abducted children in Japan. I will continue to provide updates as I find out more information.
