The following are a selection of readers' responses to the recent Zeit Gist articles on child custody and parental child abduction by Colin P. A. Jones (Oct. 20, Nov. 17) and "Richard Cory" (Nov. 3):
I am a grandmother of two handsome, intelligent Japanese-Canadian boys. Until this past April and May, when I visited my son and his new, beautiful and intelligent wife, I had not seen them for seven years. This was because my son's ex-wife had thrown him out.
Most relatives thought and expected that our son would forget about Japan and return home to Canada. I am so proud of him. John decided to stay because he refused to contemplate a world in which he would never again see his beautiful sons.
