Advocate fights to end international child abduction
In a recent government meeting, Jeffrey Morehouse, the executive director of the Bridal Abducted Children Home (BAC), addressed the pressing issue of international child parental abduction, particularly focusing on cases involving Japan. Morehouse highlighted the organization's mission to facilitate the immediate return of children wrongfully detained in Japan, emphasizing the human rights violations that arise from denying children access to both parents.

BAC aims to raise public awareness about the crisis of international child abduction through outreach initiatives. Morehouse, who is also a founding partner of the Coalition to End International Parental Child Abduction, underscored the importance of uniting various organizations to advocate for policy reforms that address this critical issue.

With a background as an award-winning filmmaker and advocate, Morehouse has contributed to U.S. Department of State publications on international child abduction, showcasing his commitment to this cause. His testimony at the meeting reflects a growing concern among advocates and policymakers about the need for collaborative efforts to combat the challenges faced by families affected by abduction.
