In Japan, just entered the new kingdom under the sign of Harmony, strange, medieval things happen in matters of family, child custody and social harmonyTaro, a bank clerk, knows something about this. He returns home one evening to find neither his wife nor his son missing. He worries, thinks something serious has happened, calls the police, and then, the next day, receives a letter from his wife's lawyer informing him of what is happening. Taro's wife has decided to leave with her son and has no intention of revealing his whereabouts. The result: for four years, Taro hasn't seen or even heard of his son. And he can't do anything, because in Japan, joint custody, a simple civilized achievement, is not a legal provision.

JOINT CUSTODY

According to the calculations of associations fighting for the introduction of joint custody, in Japan every year 150 thousand children they lose the possibility of seeing one of their parents after the divorceOver a twenty-year period, we're at three million children. A huge waste that affects the most vulnerable, children, and disintegrates not only families but, above all, the harmony of children's growth.
