this isn't just the start of school, this is the new year. find the styles and brands they'll love for every big moment. where? famous footwear. welcome back. welcome back, and time now for the "heat index." this morning's "hot button," a "gma exclusive" with actress kelly rutherford, the star losing her latest battle to keep her children here with her in the united states. instead the judge sending them overseas to their father even though the children are american citizens. we'll talk to her live in just a moment. but first, a look at kelly's case. actress kelly rutherford living a mother's nightmare, as the agonizing six-year international custody battle for her two children rages on. tuesday, a judge ordered the star to send her kids back to

their father in monaco after rutherford failed to return them last week as part of the couple's custody battle. >> no words at this moment. the couple originally agreed to share custody after their divorce, that was until the german-born giersch's visa was revoked in 2012. a california judge now ruling their son and daughter, now ages 8 and 6, live in monaco with him, allowing rutherford to only have summers with her children. rutherford has tried legally to bring her children back to the u.s. for years but says california and u.s. courts both claim to have no jurisdiction. and kelly rutherford joins us exclusively live here with the her attorney, wendy murphy is in boston. kelly, good morning. it's been a couple of days since the children are back with their father. how are you? >> i'm good. i'm good. i'm just trying to process it. and understand it, and make sense of it, really.

>> of course, you were very critical of the judge's ruling and your main issue is your children are american citizens. >> yeah, i just feel like their voices have not been heard. in a way, you know, i walked into a courtroom where, everything felt like it was already done. it was a done deal. and his mother was sitting there with plane tickets, smiling, ready to take them, nobody had heard our argument. i was accused of things that i wasn't able to even defend. >> kidnapping. >> i think kidnapping is when no one knows where the kids are. he was in communication with them every day. i wrote him an e-mail no nobody had jurisdiction in my country. and i was concerned that until somebody gave me some order saying they were coming back, you know, i talked to my lawyers, they said this was concerning on many levels, so --

>> so, you weren't prepared for them to be taken from you, what was that moment like? how were the children when they went with their grandmother? >> i'm glad they didn't have any notice in a way, i think it would van been harder. i think it was in a moment, oh, your grandma is here, you're going to go see your dad. we all had to sort of be up for them. and, you know, i was happy the way it ended up happening, because they didn't have to sit in the courtroom and watch it all happen or deal with media or anything. that would have been sort of harmful, i think. >> have you been able to speak with them since they've been back with their father? >> yes, of course, of course. i want to bring in your attorney right now, because our legal expert, dan abrams, and other legal experts, they sympathize with kelly, but they also feel that violating the court's order not returning the children on the date that she was supposed to, that was a risky move.

>> robin there was not court order requiring to send the children back. when you're an american citizen, you're not required to obey a foreign country, especially a foreign country where you have no citizenship, your father has no citizenship, your mother has no citizenship. it's preposterous to think there was a court order in place that monaco was commanding them to be arrested. that did not happen. that was not the story. you know, i heard in the package, kelly had an agreement to send the kids back. here's the agreement that matters. back in 2012, the kids were toddlers, and kelly was ordered to send the children to monaco temporarily. the children's father and kelly and the court agreed it would be a temporary stay abroad while the father got a u.s. visa or tried, and for three years he did nothing. here's the agreement that matters. the father agreed and the children were told you're not

staying here forever, it's temporary. i, your father, agree you will return to your own country, if i don't get a visa. he violated his agreement. he violated an american court order and the saddest part of this story is, no american court seems to give a damn. >> we had talked, wendy, extensively about the fact that he kept the children after the "temporary" -- and we have talked extensively about that. there's a custody hearing, september 3rd, in monaco, are you fearful that what happened this week will have an impact on that custody hearing? >> well, i mean, monaco has been incredibly kind to me and my children. and very respectful. this was the first five weeks i've had with my kids straight in six years. you know. the reason the children weren't ordered home by california, because daniel's refusing to let me see them unless i surrendered their u.s. passports.

so california ordered them home before they said they didn't have jurisdiction. then, monaco didn't demand them back. new york just sent them back. so, it was a very odd, you know, odd situation. i think that monaco has been put in this position because of the decisions made here in u.s. >> finally, you're being vocal not only for your children -- you feel this is something that happening -- >> this is happening to so many people. i have people stopping me on the streets, writing me letters, sending me envelopes of their cases. i was just in d.c., speaking with members of congress, and the state department. this is happening a lot. there needs to be laws put in place here. you're setting us up. you're setting the kids up for a problem, the parents up for a problem. i shouldn't have to fight this in a foreign court at this point. you know, this was not what was the intention much the order. >> all right, kelly thank you for being with us this morning. >> thank you. >> we'll continue to follow this and i know september 3rd is the next critical date. >> thank you so much.

all the best to you and your family. david? >> robin, thank you, these court cases can take years, but in a child's life that represents a lot of time. >> absolutely. you can't get that time back. we'll move on to the heat index here, to another story, this is a warning for h parents about your children's it safety online. the social experiment posted on youtube getting a lot of attention this morning, more than 24 million hits. showing how easy it is for strangers to get teenagers out of your home. and to come to them. many people find this stunt very disturbing but others say it teaches a very powerful lesson. here's deborah roberts. >> reporter: you're watching a 13-year-old girl meet up with a complete stranger she met online. >> from facebook. remember? >> reporter: but what she doesn't know is that this is an experiment and her father's waiting close by. >> are you crazy? are you out of your mind? >> reporter: that guy she's meeting in a park after texting with him, a youtube star known for silly and outrageous pranks, but this one caught the

attention of millions of parents now asking if their kids are also at risk. did it turn out as you thought it would? >> i went into it, i didn't know if it was going to work. i knew it was going to be a big video after i edited. i showed it to my mother and she cried. i was like, wow, this is powerful. >> reporter: to begin, he made a facebook profile posing as a 15-year-old boy. >> with the parents' permission, i friended three girls. 13, 15 and 12 years old. >> reporter: after texting and chatting on the phone, he told the girls he wanted to meet up. first, you recruited the parents. >> go ahead and try your social experiment but none of our kids are going to talk to you. >> she just said, i think my dad fell asleep you can come now. >> i'm sorry. >> you're 12 years old. >> reporter: the dramatic video sparking a barrage of social media comments, most saying it's hard to watch but needs to be seen. >> we have the parents of jenna, i'm going to text her right now. >> reporter: young girls trusting an online stranger. >> i can't believe this.

>> i can't believe this. >> reporter: what started as an experiment, no doubt sparking an urgent conversation. what do you think this experiment is going to mean to people? what do you hope the outcome will be? >> just everyone can show this to their kids. you actually see these live events that happen. these kids will learn forever. >> wow, this one shook me up and shook up a lot of us around here. the one bright spot, clearly some teens might be getting the message about being cautious online. he initially reached out to six young girls, guys, three of them backed away. we don't know whether they lost interest or became nervous. the good news is, some kids didn't take the bait. for the ones that did -- >> so disturbing. >> but very disturbing but important for us to know as parents. >> all right, deborah. >> start a conversation at home. all right, deborah, we love it when you're here. let's get to ginger in central park. we're ready to go. high five. down the line. down the line. the band perry fans, some of the best fans we have had, and it's
