Abducted in Japan: Japan's controversial sole custody system | Full Episode | SBS Dateline

Dateline investigates Japan's controversial sole custody system that's snared 82 Australian children in parental abduction and custody cases, preventing some parents from seeing their kids.
Australian mum Catherine Henderson says she hasn’t spoken with her two teenage children since they were abducted by their father over three years ago; something that’s legal under Japan’s custody system.
She recalls being on the way home from work when her laywer informed her: “We've just received a fax from your husband's lawyer saying that he and the children have moved out.”
