In the Czech Republic, there is a battle taking place over little Tereza. Young Tereza is 10 and her parents have been fighting for her custody for eight years.

The father claims that the mother is poisoning Tereza's mind against him, and I lean to believe him. Tereza apparently has full emotional breakdowns just at the thought of seeing her Dad. The mother claims that it's because he's a stranger to the Tereza.

Now perhaps it's just me, but I think that if the mother sat down with the daughter and said, "your father is a good man and he just wants to spend time with you and get to know you as a father should", then Tereza would be good to go.

Since the parents couldn't work out a visitation schedule on their own, the judge ordered Tereza to live in a mental institution. This isn't because she's ill, but because the judge felt she needed time away from her mother. Tereza is said to be behaving very well at the institution. She's had regular visits from both her parents, but has not formed a better relationship with her father.

It's sad to me that the judge ordered the daughter to spend time in the institution when it is clearly the parents — especially the mother — who should be spending time in a mental facility. They're not looking out for the welfare of their daughter — they're acting selfish and petty. If they cared anything about Tereza they would put all their issues aside and focus on what really counts — raising a healthy, well-adjusted daughter with the mental foundation to not only function but excel in society.

What are you opinions? How do you feel about the judges decision and what would you do in this situation?

After her explosively emotional interview yesterday on British TV, Heather Mills McCartney seemed to calm down today — just in time for her appearance on "Good Morning America." (Click here to see yesterday's interview. It's something else.)

It's no secret that her split from Paul McCartney has been ugly and riddled with money battles, but her interview yesterday shed some light on the woman behind the curtain. It's so easy to be labeled a "psycho emotional" ex-wife, and it's frustrating to see someone in such a high-profile marriage confirm the stereotype.

The obviously emotionally-charged interview slew began on the British morning show "GMTV" where she compared her experience and anguish to that of Princess Diana. From there, she spooled into a visibly angry attack on the media — complete with yelling and crying — and admitted to considering suicide because of the havoc she feels her reputation has gone through. "If I'm dead, she's safe," she said, referring to her three-year-old daughter, Beatrice.

She made a mysterious reference to a "box of evidence" that will go to an undisclosed person should something horrible befall her. Despite the death threats she's received, she claims she's forced to remain in the U.K. to keep Beatrice close to her father.

The public still waits for the details of her train-wreck divorce which she can't discuss extensively thanks to a well-placed gag order.
