Thank you Amazon. Now, it's your turn Rakuten and Yahoo Shopping.

Amazon has removed a lot of the content from their site. Now, if you type in candy, the Candy Doll Collection featuring elementary aged Western models in provocative poses and clothing, does NOT come up.

Rakuten has removed some images from their site, but is still selling this and others. Amazon is still selling like content, that comes up with different key words but I imagine that it cannot all be removed in a day. I hope they will continue to make changes to reflect the standards of Amazon US.

I am really not the best spokesperson for this subject, as I am NOT an expert on Japanese law or on this subject. I am just a mother, concerned about the content that came up when I was searching for Halloween candy. Maybe another person or entity can take the baton from here.

Signing off for now, from Tokyo.

petition to help stop child pornography from being sold

In light of the recent kidnapping of a 6 year girl in Kobe by a child predator -- her mutilated body only just found – it seems particularly important to take action now.  These types of DVDs and books being sold -- aids in the perversions of child predators.

Some sidenotes: 

To clarify: I am not an expert on this subject. I am just an mother who has filed a complaint to Amazon, Japan because I expect higher standards from a publically listed US company.

Amazon Japan not responding to complaints about child exploitation DVDs being sold

This Halloween season, if you live in Japan, you better not type in the word "candy" on Amazon Japan's website. Because on the top 10 most popular hits, you're going to be FLOORED at what comes up: photo books and DVDs of underage Western girl models---most of them under the age of 10 years old---posing in sexy underwear in provocative positions.

That's what happened to me when I sat down at my computer last week, to order Halloween candy, with my 6 year old daughter next to me. If you click it (as I did to get info to report the seller), a whole lot more, with 5 star ratings, come up. It's just disgusting.

I filed a complaint with an Amazon customer representative  October 6th 12:25PM on an online chat session.

As of today, it has not been removed and it has been a week.
