Welcome to a very special anniversary episode of You're Double Podcast. We have released 50 episodes so far and this is a very special episode. We have a group of people who have been fighting the abduction and alienation issue in Japan. This is an in-depth discussion between them on topics such as the experience a left behind parent goes through, how people can help, how politicians and global agencies can help, and so much more.
Who are the guests? Before we get to that, this is going to be a 2 part episode. Some guests will appear in part 1 and some other in part 2 as it is hard to get 6 high profile individuals in a single call. The good news is that they all have been guests in our podcast before this.
Now, we have the cofounders of FMP, Enrique and Deanielle with us. We also have Vincent Fichot, James Cook, Tomas Savickas, and Rachel Endo. You can listen to our previous episodes to know more about their stories.

![[Day 8] Vincent Fichots Hunger Strike in Japan - Russian subs.
#vincentfichot Вчера 2021/07/17 состоялась встреча матерей которые были лишены своих детей - это лишь малая часть кто решился сказать правду о японской судебной системе. Многие бояться , что сказав правду больше не увидят своих детей никогда и ещё надеятся на справедливое решение суда , как правило это часто без результатно 😞✅
Встреча состоялась на станции Сендагая в Токио где уже 9 дней отец из Франции Vincent Fichot объявив голодную забастовку просит разрешить ему встречу с его детьми #vincentfichot

[Episode Description]
Hi everyone, before we go to the episode with Scott McIntyre, I would like to remind everyone that we recently launched a petition targeted at the Japanese government to stand up for the 3million kids who have been trafficked since 1991, legally with the help of single custody laws in Japan. Japan does not recognize joint custody laws as the lawyers and judges profit from it and receive up to 30% of child support payments until the child reaches 20 years of age! While it’s a gain for the lawyers and judges, this is a loss-loss situation for the children and parents affected by the single custody law. Winning this campaign depends on our ability to call on thousands of supporters like you. Your signature(support) is all that we need. Please support our petition and tell the International Organizations and the government to pressure Japan to adopt a joint custody law. You can find the petition at https://www.change.org/jointcustodyjapan.
Now, in today’s episode, we are speaking to an Australian named Scott McIntyre who has been making waves when it comes to the issue of child abduction and parental alienation In Japan.
Scott was detained for 45 days in Tokyo for trespassing when he went to his in-laws’ apartment to seek information on his two children. He remains married, has no restraining order against him, retains full parental rights, but has not been able to see his children since May 2019, when his wife left with them. While researching for our petition, I watched a video of Scott on YouTube, and I knew that we needed to get him on the podcast to explain further why the petition that we created is important. I have included a short sound bite from the clip in this podcast and the full clip here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0NTQX92o68
