Kelly Rutherford says she's somewhat "glad" her two children were not given any advance notice when they were ordered to fly to Monaco to be with their father, with whom she has been involved in a more than six-year international custody battle, and denies allegations of kidnapping over her initial refusal to let them travel. The 46-year-old Gossip Girl alum's ex, German citizen Daniel Giersch, is unable to travel to the United States, as his visa was revoked. They currently share custody of U.S.-born son Hermes, 8, and daughter Helena, 6, who have lived with their father in Monaco primarily since 2012. A judge there had allowed Rutherford to host the children in the United...

Kelly Rutherford is ripping into the judge she says effectively "arrested" her children, and sent them back to their father ... who she claims lied to the court to get his way. Rutherford says Judge Ellen Gesmer's ruling to send the kids back to Daniel Giersch was "shocking, illegal, and abusive to my children."

A day after she kissed her children goodbye in a New York courtroom, Kelly Rutherford is slamming the judge who ordered that they return to Monaco to be with their father.
""What the judge did yesterday was shocking, illegal and abusive to my children," she tells People in a statement. "Without any legal authority, a judge from the lowest ranking court in the state court system violated the highest ranking deferral constitutional rights of my American citizen children."

She’s been in a bitter custody dispute with ex-husband Daniel Giersch for years, and earlier today (August 11) Kelly Rutherford was admonished for not complying with a court order and returning her children to Monaco.
The “Gossip Girl” actress tried to sidestep her legal obligation to put Hermes (8 years old) and Helena (6 years old) on an airplane this past Friday (August 7) and Judge Ellen Frances Gesmer threw the book at her.
Rutherford told press, "No state in this country is currently protecting my children. It also means that no state in this country currently requires me to send the children away.” However, a social worker involved in the case revealed, "I would be surprised if she was allowed to take the children out of Monaco again without some level of security. Maybe she won't be able to travel with the children except one at a time, always having to leave a kid behind.

What's Next for Kelly Rutherford: Is She One Step Closer to Losing Custody of Her Kids All Together?
It may have come purely from the heart, but did Kelly Rutherford make the ultimate miscalculation?
