GOP lawmaker demands action from Japan PM on key issue impacting hundreds of US children abroad
Fox News
GOP Rep. Chris Smith is calling on Japan's prime minister to act to ensure that hundreds of American children abducted by their parents in Japan are reunited with their families.
"To date, more than 500 American children have been abducted to Japan by one of their respective parents and remain separated from their American parent. These abductions often occur against pre-existing court orders and, in some cases, with the passport assistance of the Japanese government." Andrew Mark Miller is a reporter at Fox News.

Smith’s letter cites examples of parents who have been unable to access their children in Japan due in part to Japanese law not recognizing joint custody. One of those parents, Jeffrey Morehouse, has testified at several congressional hearings chaired by Smith about his struggle to gain access to his son Mochi since 2010 despite Japanese law recognizing his legal custody in Washington state.
