Story here. Excerpt:

'NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Reacting to the case of a Franklin, Tenn., father, the U.S. State Department called upon Japan Wednesday to sign an international agreement on parental child abductions.

Christopher Savoie sits in a Japanese jail, accused of kidnapping the two children who had been taken from him here in Tennessee.

And we're seeing how close Savoie came to getting his children back onto what might have been, at least legally speaking, U.S. soil.

Witnesses say Savoie and his two children raced past Japanese police just outside the front gate of the U.S. Consulate in Fukuoka, Japan.'
