There is nothing "happy" about "crying abduction" when your child is missing.
I thank the other posters here for their skepticism; it's well placed in this case. When my wife, before she was my wife, was living in New York, when she made her first pass at me, when we shared a relationship for a year, toodling around New York City before deciding to stay together and marry for love, when we traveled each summer together on trips to the mountains, and when we traveled to Tokyo to meet her family and friends, when we loved one another, and when we disagreed, it never occurred to me, nor should it have, to examine the custody laws of Japan in order to find out if there was a kidnapping epidemic there. No, indeed; I did not. Japan doesn't advertise that it is a kidnapping safe haven to the world. It's largely known here as a modern state, an ordinary modern state. It's only since this catastrophe occurred that it became necessary to begin to dissect what on earth is going on, and why it is that Japan has developed itself a legal system which uniquely makes a concerted effort to eliminate parents from their lives of the children they love and are raising, and encourages its people to do so over the gradually increasing objections of the civilized modern nations of the world. So, yes, now I know all about it, have researched it deeply, and continue in my sorrow to do so.
How does the Japanese law and court system create this mass, monstrous human rights violation? Well, again, there are a variety of techniques made available which have been honed into a "practice" by Japanese lawyers who have studied the system and developed these methods. I suspect Mr. Takeshima, if he is not one of these persons, is someone who knows just who they are and how they work. But let me set it out for you as straightforwardly as possible. A woman is in a social network of other mothers living abroad, organized on the internet. She taks about her problems with others, as people do. Very soon, any Japanese woman who does this (and most who live abroad do) she will encounter either the lawyers and lawyers assistants themselves, or other women who will tell their stories and introduce them into the process. It is, as I say, really simple to do, and it's not in any way difficult to find these webpages and social networks in which people exchange this information; they've existed for years. A lawyer, which is not a particularly difficult or dignified profession in Japan, recommeds a series of steps: make series of trips to these agencies in your home town: Asian women's crisis centers; the nearest Japanese consulate; banks, to set up transfer accounts in Japan; and the lawyers will also set you up with doctors who will file the forms with you once you get the child to Japan, and confirm a series of pre-arranged charges or sets of symptoms.
At the crisis center, you make a couple of visits, then ask for a written report:: in the report, she must clamly report that she feels bad or is being abused or emotionally scarred in some way. Once in Japan, the doctor / psychologist will sign papers saying the child has been traumatized by child abuse, and blame the parent who they want blamed. No physical exams are required; just a few minutes talk, sign the papers, et voila, you're ready for a Japanese family court case.
I have already extensively answered all of these "charges" in a very public way; I'm unashamed, because I did nothing I feel ashamed about with regard to my son. The stories you repeat above are the same ones that apppeared in the court papers which Kensuke Ohunki, the famous abduction specialist lawyer, prepared for them, and then gave to a Japanese television station, which is where the photograph above you see came from. From "Fuji TV" which is an extremely poorly produced network, which I voluntarily talked to. Where, of course, do you think they got that photograph from? From me, of course! I wanted then, and I want now, for everyone to know who Machko Terauchi is; she is a criminal child abductor... sorry if you, "Takeshima" don't care. I would imagine that you are either a friend or colleague of either the Terauchis or of Ohnuki. If not, then you are simply a typical hater. So let me enumerate as clearly as possible, here and now:
I never, ever hit my son. Not once. I have published all of this before. My wife knows that in my teaching work, one of the themes that I teach is that children should not EVER under ANY circumstance be physically punished. That is another reason why the sadism of her charges against me is so pointed, and so crude. So the mysterious "injuries to my son which showed no physical marks" is a made up story; a lie, we call them here. What else do you want to know? There was no abortion of my son. I paid 100% of the medical bills... 100% of the bills for all of her doctor visits, prior to giving birth, her hospitalization, the extra days she had to stay in the hospital with my son after the birth, during which days I DID NOT GO HOME, because I wanted to stay in the room with her and my baby; I also paid 100% of the hospitalization bills when we had to return to the same hosptial six weeks later and stay for a week with my son, who had to have emergency surgery for pyloric stenosis, an inherited trait. I slept the entire week in the room with my son and my wife. i brought meals in from nearby restaurants for her and me. I took care of her then, before, and after. What else would you like to know? My wife has very, very violent tendencies, which I did not know about until a few months before she became pregnant. She was becoming somewhat unhinged, emotionally. This can happen to people for various reasons; in her case, she had a very, very tough childhood experience of being abused and abandoned by her family, and not surprisingly, she began to develop symptoms of this sort once she was well - ensconced in an intimate relationship with me, her husband. She kicked, she scratched, hard. She attacked. She drank whole bottles of whiskey a couple of times. This was all out of character for her for the most part; but ... that's the way psychological breaks can work sometimes. I loved her, and wanted to care for her; but when she became pregnant (another long story, I'll skip over) I had doubts about her suitability at that time because of the violence she was exhibiting, and I DARED to speak to her up front and as openly as I could with her. "Are you sure we want to have a baby now?" She was having very serious emotional problems after her older sister had had some medical issues back in Japan. It really affected my new wife, who is close to her sister (and who visited us repeatedly, many times, flying in and staying with us regularly. And I never objected to her sister's presence or her intrusions, because my wife loves her; and I had no desire to separate them too much.) In other words, the discusssion of whether or not to go through with the birth was a question that came up in a context, which, again, I'm not ashamed of, although I wouldn't tell this to my son directly because from people like YOU, he might get the wrong impression that he was not wanted. I was scared, nonetheless. Once he was born, within a very short time, I was overwhelmingly in love with him; and my wife KNEW this and said so many times, of our son, this boy really, really likes his father. So whatever you want to make up or believe or bad rumors you want to spread, go ahead. I'm not ashamed of loving my son; nor am I ashamed of thinking that he would be MUCH MUCH MUCH better off if he had me in his life, counter-balancing his mother's domineering influence. She never reads anything; I read philosophy., history, poetry and stories, constantly. I wanted then and now more than anything else in the world to love, care for, cherish and educate my son. I've been deprived of that during his key, cutest, sweetest, most emotionally needy and psychologically formative years. And for me it is unbelievably devastating. Do I care if you care Takeshima? Not a bit, but then, you are a bastard, plain and simple. So why should I?
Did I miss anything? Oh, the "trauma" my son was experiencing according to the psychologist's report in the divorce file that my wife gave to the TV station to publicize (without it being heard or vetted in court for its veracity or reliability, by the way).... (that's part of that "respect for privacy" of my family that you were talking about so proudly, weren't you?) I believe my son HAS experienced trauma, but it was most certainly not at my hands, or in the loving attitude I kept with him at all times. It IS more than possible, it's a very high probability that the disappearance of his father from his life and the necessity of attaching exclusively to his mother (who is "doing a great job raising him in Japan" you say) is a rupture in his life from which he has very little chance of recovering without permanent emotional, psychological scarring. There is, as I said previously, a mountain of theory and psychoanalytic research to read on the subject; and believe me, I have read it all! Oh but you haven't, Takeshima. You haven't read the research. And neither has my son's mother; because she wouldn't want to know or understand it. It would produce a conflct in her.
One more of your details, the Interpol arrest warrants. Those were created by Interpol, and the information in them was given to Interpol y the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the main police agency of the United States government. The charge against her if she is arraigned for those "fake" (as you say) Interpol arrest warrants? A Federal felony for kidnapping my son. And the state of New York will also have charges of what it calls Parental Interference, which is, obviously, that I was carrying out my duties as a parent, alongside her, and her permanent removal of my son was a violation of both the Federal kidnapping laws and the Custodial care laws of the State of New York.
so what more would you like to know, hm?
I am not ashamed of the love I have for my beloved boy; I am not ashamed to say that it has devastated me and injured me beyond anything you can ever imagine to have him kidnapped and disappear to Japan, where he is subject not only to the loss of his identity, but to be subject to all sorts of ethnic bias, poor testing-mad non-education, and must suffer the loss of the love, care, attention, focus, and resistance to the stupidities of the world that having me as his Daddy would have provided in these his developmental years as a boy. All the happy memories he might have had together will now instead be spent killing the pain with electronic games in the airless concrete pile that is Tokyo. I couldn't possibly hate this fate that has befallen him and me more.
