A Conversation with Vincent Fichot, Left Behind Parent (Japan) - Hosted by Deanielle Dawra and Brian Duzet (Part 2)

Sun, 20 Mar 2022 16:15:00 +0000

In 2018, Vincent Fichot came home to an empty house in Tokyo, Japan. His wife, 3-year-old son and 11-month-old daughter had vanished. All he had done was suggest that he might want a divorce. He hasn't seen or heard from his family since, and every effort to contact or reunite with his family has been blocked by his wife, her lawyers, Japanese courts, the police, policymakers from Japan and even his own country of origin - France. This includes Emmanuel Macron, French President and Josep Borrell, Spanish politician serving as High Representative of the European Union.

With nowhere else to go, Vincent started a hunger strike in a desperate attempt to reunite with his kids. In this podcast, you will hear the extent a dad will go to reunite with his kids, the gross negligence of the Japanese courts on the rights of children to have both of their parents, and above all, this reality of child abduction when it comes to Japan.

The name You’re Double was inspired by the fact that children are made up of two parents, two families, two cultures, two backgrounds and this makes children who they are. This is what we believe makes children amazing – their double experiences, double cultures, and sometimes double languages. And this is why children deserve the love of both parents!

In this episode of You're Double Podcast, We are speaking to the CEO of Fayr, Michael David Daniels. Fayr is a co-parenting app that allows co-parents to effortless communicate, create a shared calendar while keeping track of expenses. It also helps co-parents to prepare legal documents and much much more. In the first part with Michael, we talk a lot about the app and how it helps in reducing conflicts between co-parents. In the second part, we talk broader topics such as choosing the right partner, managing conflict with your children and co-parent, introducing new partner to your ex-spouse, and so much more.

Fayr was born out of two desires: to become a better co-parent, and to make the experience of co-parenting better.

After his separation, Michael found it a constant challenge to be the best, most present father he could be. The time he wanted to spend focused on his children was instead taken up by tedious documentation, scheduling and preparing for court.

Why wasn't there an alternative to this time consuming, anxiety producing way co-parents were forced interact?

Enter Fayr. Our app encompasses the whole range of co-parents needs - financial, documentation, geo pinpointing, scheduling, communication - for the entire time you're co-parenting.

What makes us different? At Fayr, it's not just about efficiency and ease (though we love those). We also help you create a better co-parenting experience by providing tools for: constructive communication, argument diffusion, and emotional support.

Japan took my family away from me! - Louis Christian, Left Behind Parent from Japan (Part 2)

Tue, 05 Oct 2021 23:18:54 +0000

The Ushiku immigration center near Tokyo holds people seeking refuge in Japan. Using a hidden camera, award-winning filmmaker Thomas Ash interviewed inmates there from late 2019. In his documentary based on the conversations that he had with the inmates and detainees, he portrays the lack of a refugee policy in Japan, how the media is unwilling to talk about it, the same for worldwide organizations like United Nations, and concludes that this is Japan's biggest human rights violation.

In this documentary, Louis Christian was featured heavily and his story is one of the most heartbreaking one. The Japanese immigration department not only coerced his wife coerced into divorcing him but also to abort his second child and alienate him from his first wife. In this podcast we talk to him about all that and more. I am also joined by Enrique, the founder of Find My Parent in this episode.

Part 2: https://findmyparent.org/31-a-conversation-with-dan-hund-left-behind-parent-from-seattle-us-part-2/

------

We have made this conversation with him into three parts as we spoke for more than 12 hours on various topics related to parental alienation. Now, Dan's situation is pretty unique and you will see soon enough that he has the ability to verbalize and explain what he had gone through very well.

With that said, the stories that he told us explain deeply about things that are mentioned by experts that we have spoken to before in this podcast. I implore you to listen and try to relate back to things mentioned in our previous episodes with the experts as you will see obvious signs of narcissistic behavior, manipulation and gaslighting, alienation happening while still being married, and so much more.

We have purposely marked this episode as explicit because we do go into some adult themes through this episode. For those of you who are younger than 18 years old or a minor, I strongly suggest that you get the guidance of someone knowledgeable if you are not sure about things we are talking about.

I would like to remind everyone that our goal here is to share knowledge with you guys and show that you are not alone in this. With that said, if you need specific legal advice, please get independent advice from a qualified legal practitioner.

Glen Wood - Father who sued Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley in Tokyo, Japan for Paternity Harassment

Tue, 13 Jul 2021 21:33:45 +0000

In this episode of you're double podcast, Enrique, the founder of Find My Parent and I speak to Glen Wood. Glen is a Canadian native and former equity sales manager at the Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley in Japan who has been fighting for the past five years to gain justice for his paternity harassment case.

SHOW NOTES

Glen Wood, is a 49-year-old Canadian single father who had been working as an equity sales manager at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities Co. (MUMSS). He filed a claim against the Japan-based brokerage, asserting that he had been the victim of "paternity harassment" since 2015. He asked the Tokyo District Court to order the firm to reverse its decision to put him on unpaid leave and recognize his rights as a father.

The case has drawn considerable attention, both internationally and in Japan, as it shines a harsh spotlight on one of the long-standing traditions of Japanese corporate society: Harassment of employees, particularly those who become parents.

Glen Wood’s lawsuit states that when he first asked his company for paternity leave in 2015, he was rejected on the grounds that “there was no such precedent.” After the boy was born in October of that year, the firm was forced to accept Wood’s legal right to parental leave, but they then refused to acknowledge that he was the child’s father. After Wood submitted DNA test results to prove the was indeed the father, the company finally allowed him to take paternity leave. However, according to the legal statements in Wood’s case, after he informed the firm that he was going to become a single father, he suffered two years of wilful mistreatment. He was then fired.

Japanese law guarantees all fathers paid leave to take care of their newborns (“paternity leave”). However, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare reports that only about 3% of eligible men avail themselves of that right. Some people might say this reflects cultural traditions that make Japanese fathers less inclined to spend time with their wives and newborn children, but it is an undeniable fact that one major reason for this extremely low rate is the harassment that new fathers receive at their workplaces.

Under the Equal Employment Opportunity Law, employers are also required to show consideration to pregnant women by offering them shorter work hours or flexible work schedules. They’re also banned from firing or demoting expectant mothers due to pregnancy and required to give them maternity leave. Men are given essentially the same rights. In practice, however, companies often ignore the law — and the courts are generally more sympathetic to corporations than to the individual victims.

DeEye - Amber Alert On Steroid (With Anthony A. Botchway Founder of DeEye)

Sun, 23 May 2021 20:40:00 +0000

Hi Everyone, on the 25th of this month, Find My Parent will be commemorating International Missing Children's day to raise awareness and support to power the search for children who go missing every single day. This day, the 25th of May is a day where people around the world remember those missing children who have found their way home, remember those who have been victims of crime, and remember to continue to find those who are still missing.

All around the globe, an estimated 8 million children are reported missing each year. Most children who are reported missing are found safe and well within 24 hours, but for those who are not, what follows can be months and years of heartbreak and confusion for their families. As individuals, professionals and organizations, we have a responsibility to protect our children.

Our guest today on the podcast believe that together with the help of technology, we can bring the missing children home. Anthony B is the founder of DeEye, a global community platform designed to give access to valuable tools that help people in finding their missing loved ones. De Eye is a free app that allows people to report, receive and send verified proximity alert or amber alert and obtain real time feeds and updates on missing person cases. In conjunction with the upcoming International missing children's day, DeEye will be releasing their V1 of the app to everyone through google's play store and apple's App Store.

For those of you who are listening, please go to deeye.app or search for the de eye within play store or App Store, download and try it. Most probably you are not looking for anyone, but you can help someone who is looking for their loved one. As Anthony said, the app relies on you to be the eyes for the people who are missing someone.

Below is the link to our Press Release for the launch of DeEye App and a store that was covered by Ken5 TV.

A Conversation with Dan Hund, Left Behind Parent from Seattle, US (Part 1)

Mon, 10 May 2021 21:44:50 +0000

In this episode of you're double podcast, we are speaking to Dan Hund, a left behind parent from Seattle, United States.

With that said, the stories that he told us explain deeply about things that are mentioned by experts that we have spoken to before in this podcast. I implore you to listen and try to relate back to things mentioned in our previous episodes with the experts as you will see obvious signs of narcissistic behaviour, manipulation and gaslighting, alienation happening while still being married, and so much more.

In the first part of this three part series with Dan, we talk about everything that led to his divorce and separation. We go in detail about every event that resulted in his ex-wife getting pregnant, how he was controlled through his relationship with her and how does it feel to be alienated while you are still married.

Opinions of a 15-Year-old on Parental Alienation, Divorce, Marriages, Foster Care, etc.

Tue, 20 Apr 2021 10:52:18 +0000

This episode is rather unconventional compared to our normal content where we talk to parents, experts and mainly adults about parenting, alienation, divorces and so on. In this episode, we are talking to Jayden Martinez, a 15 year old who have valuable insights into how she thinks about her parents marriage, her experience with foster kids, her views on parental alienation, divorce, marriage, having kids and so on.

Now, Jayden's situation is a bit different compared to most teenagers as her parents got separated when she was younger, but then they reconciled and got remarried after sometime. Her parents are also active foster parents, which means Jayden had the opportunity to talk to a lot of kids who are coming from broken families. I believe that it helped her to shape and expand her understanding of the world and you will see that her opinions are rather unique compared to most teenagers. I was also assisted by the CEO of findmyparent.org, Enrique and also Director of Outreach, Cathia through out this episode.

With that said, we are also looking into expanding this podcast to include kids and teenagers who have opinions on these heavy topics with the hope of giving a voice to everyone to speak about these topics. Now, if you are interested to be a part of this podcast, just reach out to me through my email at sk@findmyparent.org

You can also reach out to Jayden through cathia.lan@findmyparent.org and Cathia will assist you in getting the message to Jayden.
