YUKI'S STORY
• YUKI'S STORY •
When Yuki's son was born, Yuki fell ill. Four months after the birth, the child's father saw fit to abduct the baby to Denmark during a vacation.
Several years have passed since then. Yuki does her utmost to continue being a mother to her child.
KEPT AT BAY
But how can she, when her child is kidnapped to a country where she is not allowed to live?
How can she, when she is running out of money for the costly travels and stays to defend herself and her child against a crime committed against them both?
How can she, when Danish courts carry out a "social" court case against her, for which Denmark is not competent?
How can she, when the court imposes a lawyer on her that does not speak English and refuses to speak to her, while no-one has offered her a Japanese interpreter?
How can she, when she is barely allowed access to her child, and the kidnapper is always present?
How can she, when even the kindergarden refuses to keep her informed, as they are bound by law to do?
How can she, when she -one of the victims- is stripped of all rights and treated like a villain?
DENMARK IS A VILLAIN
Denmark is breaking exactly the same laws when they steal Yuki's baby (now toddler), as they did when they stole my teenager:
The Hague Convention of 1980: obligation to bring home children kidnapped across borders
The Hague Convention of 1996: obligation to respect the social welfare system of other countries and refrain from acting without competence
The Human Right to family life: it is violated if the taking away a child is not lawful
IT IS NOTHING PERSONAL
Yuki does not stand a chance, just like I did not. Still, she fights. She has to.
In the meantime: How about we admit that this is a STRUCTURAL problem?
Denmark steals children abroad.
