Реформа системы опеки в Японии вызвала споры среди родителей
Ясуюки Ватанабэ не видел свою дочь более 15 лет, однако он не выражает одобрения в связи с принятием масштабной реформы системы опеки в Японии.

Это вынуждало второго родителя полагаться на неформальную добрую волю или судебные рекомендации по посещениям для поддержания связи с ребенком. По мнению 54-летнего Ватанабэ, прежняя система фактически была направлена на его исключение из жизни дочери.
