Tereza returned to her mother’s care

An Australian court has ruled that six-year-old Tereza Vichnarová, who was kidnapped and flown to Australia by her father, should be returned to her mother’s care. Tereza disappeared at Easter during a long weekend with her father and was flown out of Europe before her mother reported her failure to return home. As Tereza’s father did not break Australian law through his actions, the Czech authorites were helpless, but the girl’s mother flew to Australia and fought a legal battle to have Tereza returned to her care. Mother and daughter are expected to return to the Czech Republic in the next few days.
