American jailed in Japan for trying to reclaim his children

Had this custody drama played out in the United States, Christopher Savoie might be considered a hero -- snatching his two little children back from an ex-wife who defied the law and ran off.

At the beginning of the article, it says that Parental child abduction is not a crime in Japan. However, when he tries to parentally abduct his children, it is a crime. How does that make sense?

I found this article very sad, but I also don't understand it. How is it abduction if he is a parent?

Because the mother had legal custody in Japan. In America, she is guilty of child abduction because the father had legal custody at the time of her abducting the kids.

This is scary stuff. I live in Japan, my wife is Japanese and we have two kids. I can't ever see her doing something like this of things went south but I bet he couldn't either. My heart really goes out to him.

The only way you could say that is if you said that she had custody by default.
