good morning. >> good morning to you. we traveled to dubai to meet this special little girl. we also spoke to her father. chuck peters, a west point graduate, three tours in iraq as a member of special forces. yet after 10 years in the military, he feels he could be arrested if he steps foot on u.s. soil. there was a lot of fun on a sunday afternoon as chuck peters and his daughter caroline beat the heat at their neighborhood pool in dubai. but behind the smile, chuck says he's in a fight tougher than any he faced during a decade in the military. a battle for his daughter. it started like a storybook. chuck and stacy met in high school and married while he served. a stellar military record, two bronze stars. the couple then moved to dubai for a contracting job soon after caroline was born. >> we were happier than we've ever been in our life. it's almost like we had start add vacation life. >> but not for long. the marriage fell apart after chuck accused stacy of having an

affair, using prescription drugs and endangering caroline. >> can you imagine he would do this. i really believed in him. without a doubt, there is zero drug or alcohol abuse in my history. and if he could prove any of this, he would do it here. >> she accused chuck of physically abusing her, which chuck says is false. he filed for divorce in dubai stating adultery, a crime in the united arab emgrat could have time in prison. >> when i realized she was no longer rational, putting harm -- putting caroline in danger, i knew i had to act quickly in order to protect my daughter. >> stacy denies the adultery

claim, calling it a cover-up. >> he had to accuse me of something, because filing for divorce makes him look bad. >> without a passport for caroline, stacy, who is more than five-months pregnant says she was forced to flee dubai without her daughter. she says she hasn't seen caroline since the end of march. stacy has gone to court in her home state of tennessee where a judge declared her husband's actions constituted constructive and actual child abduction and kidnapping. chuck feared this court order could lead to his arrest if he returns to the u.s. >> that's very disconcerting. as i said, somebody who served their country for so long, that's a dagger to the heart. it really hurts me. >> amidst it all, a joyful little girl who can't possibly know of the fight on two corners of the globe. >> she got the best of both stacy and i times 100. she's an incredible little girl. >> on the day we visited,

friends came over for pizza. caroline's paternal grandfather was visiting from minnesota. this is not, as chuck said, a case of a dad snatching his daughter. >> i think that's ridiculous. it's preposterous to say i'm kidnapping her when i'm living in the same house. i have the same job. we have the same friends. i go to the same pool every day. it doesn't make any sense to me to call that kidnapping. >> and yet it's stacy peters who has not been able to see or even talk to her daughter since the end of march. it's heartbreaking for any mother but most difficult for this beautiful little girl seemingly because the in the middle. >> absolutely. janet shamlian, thank you. stacy peters here with us along with her lawyer. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> i know it's hard to see your little girl, you haven't seen her in months, to see her on video like that. you say you had no choice but to flee dubai.

why would you leave her behind, leave dubai. >> he took everything from me. i wasn't -- i was in fear for my life. i had no other choice. i would have left with her a long time before that if i had any ability to. >> you claim your husband abused you, and he denies these charges. did you ever report this to anyone? did you report it to authorities in dubai? did you report it to the u.s. embassy or anyone at home in the u.s.? >> i reported it to an overseas domestic violence organization who explained to me that if i do for the police in dubai, they would take my passport and i wouldn't be able to leave then. i couldn't report it there. >> he meanwhile says you're the one who endangered his daughter. he said you have a problem with prescription drugs, that you also admitted to being unfaithful in the marriage during a therapy session. what do you say to those

sessions? >> he left me in dubai with caroline for three months. he never made these allegations to me at any point until the last month. i never heard these from them. he's never been worried about caroline before. >> a tennessee court temporarily awa awarded to stacy and constitutes what he's doing as kidnapping. if he comes to the country, what will happen to him. >> at the moment he refused two separate court orders that require him to come to court to caroline and explain the rights and wrongs. let the american court decide what's best for the child. he's being held in contempt of court for still hiding in dubai. he should know he accused stacy of terrible immorality charges under the penal law of the

united arab emirates. i spoke to the family before she left and spoke to lawyers there, the advice was she needs to leave on the next plane, otherwise she will be in jail. you do not want to be in jail in dubai. she was forced out. that's what the american court decided. so there's always two sides to the story. >> there are two sides to the story and we're going to have to leave it there. we hope, for your daughter's sake, somehow this gets worked out amicably between you two. thank you for being here. thanks. we're back with more of "today" right after this. nikki! rick! wow, you look terrific!

back now with a look at the secret way people are judging you. a new study by glamour magazine found not only do women chris size each other but can leave to

stereotyp stereotypes. >> good morning, ladies. >> good morning. >> this is something a lot of women fall victim to, you hear it all the time. why did you commission this? who did you talk to? >> we noticed when women are interacting, a lot of judging going on. a lot based on size. they pick apart women's bodies, how big, how small. there's a new study how this relates to all women, heavy women but thin women. >> stereotyping based on whatever body size. >> exactly. so we talked to about 1800 women of all different body types and ages themselves and found some pretty shocking findings. we saw they were asked to describe an anonymous heavy woman. the subjects were 11 times more likely to say she was lazy than they would say about a thin woch woman. nine times more often to say

sloppy. thin women, vein, conceited, and even mean. there's positive stereotypes therein, too. they were more likely to say heavy women were giving. in general there's a whole lot of judging going on. the fascinating thing, natalie, it doesn't matter who you are yourself, you hold these assumptions of heavy women. we're just as likely to say things about other heavy women and skinny women were just as likely to say it about other skinny women. extraordinary. >> seems surprising to me. ann, what are the dangers of holding these stereotypes and judging people based on appear answers in this d -- appearances. >> first of all stereotypes can be how they view themselves, can lead to eating disorders. the disturbing thing, when you're judging yourself and other women, you're going to be disconnected from them. one of things we know is what

predicts happiness is not your weight but healthy relationships and feeling close to people. these stereotypes disconnect women from other women. >> the other thing i think we've all heard about this is the discrimination that can sometimes result by appearance, stereotypes. >> this is something that affects heavier women in particular, think about stereotypes, lazy, sloppy, unprofessional. they go to a woman's job performance. employers in the study found repeatedly are less likely to hire a heavy woman than they would a normal weight woman. when you look at salaries, heavier women are likely to learn about $6,000 less annually than their skinnier peers. everything else, education, job experience is controlled, it's strictly about weight. >> strictly a cultural thing but how can we keep ourselves from being judgmental like this? how can we get beyond this? >> i think when you start to be

judgmental and go with the stereotypes, see a stop sign, tell yourself to stop and challenge yourself and ask yourself, you know, look at my friends who are heavier. are they sloppy? are they lazy? no. look at my friends that are thinner, are they superficial? no. so the important thing is to challenge these stereotypes and really work on trying to move from being judgmental to be more compassionate and to be more curious about each other, because nobody wins in this judgment game. it makes you feel bad about yourself and also other women feeling bad about themselves and disconnects us from each other. >> good words of advice remembering when the tables are turned people are judging you in the same way. >> ladies, thanks so much. coming up next in "today's" kitchen we're cooking up the best of summer with fresh fish it

in "today's" kitchen, assest as one, two, three, taking advantage of fresh fish in the supermarket. celebrity chef ann morrell is here to whip it up. good to see you. >> good to see you, al. >> you have a new food network show. >> a new show thursday night on the food network, chef wanted with an burrell. the ultimate job interview. it's real viable restaurants like big name restaurants that are looking for a new chef. so i find some candidates. we put them through some tests. and the winner of the show ultimately gets hired for job. >> that's cool. >> in this hat's fantastic. >> it changes lives, good things happen. >> nice. good things happen when we get you in here. you're making a marinaded tuna. >> tuna. i'm a big fan of tuna.

q and e, high-quality, quick and easy, high quality. when it's done, you slice it. look at this. it's amazing, some flavorful. >> is that the spice i'm smelling? >> it is. >> can you smell it? >> i can. it's burning my eyes a little bit. >> that's how we roll. >> to go along with my tuna, i have salad, i went shopping at the green market, arugula. i like a crunchy finish, pumpkin seed, finish with mint lemonade. if you would like to make this a big girl lemonade, as i like to do, throw a shot of bourbon in there. >> that will make it big. what kind of dressing. >> super simple, lemon, extra virgin olive oil, shaved parmes

parmesano, red onion. >> you could put the tuna on the salad. >> this is a dinner really healthy and so quick and easy and a super crowd pleaser. >> what else do you like in the summertime this year? >> you know, i am all about vegetables in the green market, just finishing up the asparagus season, sugar snap peas on the way, peaches. this is when the market starts to go crazy and i can't get enough of it. >> show. >> chefs wanted. >> thursday food network, ann burrell. up next, get cozy with some of the stars from "magic mike." hmmm, i don't think i took my pill today.

there's birth control you don't have to think about taking every day or even every year. i'm painting my arms. i want another child, but not for a while. it's mirena, a small intrauterine contraceptive that's over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy for as long as you want, for up to five years. then again, i'm not sure i want to wait. don't use mirena if you have a pelvic infection, get infections easily or have certain cancers. less than 1% of users get a serious infection called pelvic inflammatory disease. if you have persistent pelvic or stomach pain, or if mirena comes out, tell your healthcare provider. if it comes out, use back-up birth control.

mirena may attach to or go through the uterine wall and cause other problems. although uncommon, pregnancy while using mirena can be life threatening and may result in loss of pregnancy or fertility. ovarian cysts may occur, but usually disappear. bleeding and spotting may increase in the first few months and continue to be irregular. periods over time may become shorter, lighter, or even stop. mirena does not protect against hiv or stds. oh, i can wait a little longer. ask about mirena. when you have time. did you know ? if you choose mirena to prevent pregnancy, it's also approved to treat heavy periods.
