" The nasty custody battle between Halle Berry and her daughter Nahla&amp;#039;s father Gabriel Aubry is just getting worse by the day. According to reports this week, now Berry is insinuating that Aubry could be abusing their daughter. According to Popeater.com, Berry has &amp;quot;spoken out about having &amp;#039;serious concerns for her daughter&amp;#039;s well-being while in the care of her father for any extended period of time and is prepared to take all necessary steps to protect her.&amp;quot; I call B.S. Of course it&amp;#039;s possible that Aubry is abusive to their daughter, but for Berry to publicly accuse him of that with no real warrant is so incredibly irresponsible, immature and just plain wrong, that I find it totally dysfunctional. A source released to the media that Nahla kicked and screamed when her father came to pick her up and that Aubry forced her into the car. I have never in my life met a child who didn&amp;#039;t kick and scream about one parent because they wanted to be with the other\u2026 and then later flip flop. Or sometimes they want to be with the babysitter, or sometimes if anyone at all goes near them they fall to the floor and scream bloody murder. It&amp;#039;s called a tantrum or the terrible twos. When a kid gets like that, the only thing you can do is get them in the car and go. In five minutes they&amp;#039;ll be fine. Nahla is dealing with a lot of uncertainty in her life. Her parents are separated, her mother travels all over the world. It&amp;#039;s no wonder she loses her cool when things keep changing. But more importantly: A child&amp;#039;s tantrum does not equal an adult&amp;#039;s abuse. I&amp;#039;m just tired of celebrities&amp;#039; dysfunctional family values. People divorce, they break up, things happen. But Aubry is Nahla&amp;#039;s father and he has just as many rights to her as Berry. It was released to Radaronline.com that Berry wrote him an email saying &amp;quot;You were only good for one thing\u2026 thanks for the donation.&amp;quot; And the way she is behaving is pretty good evidence that is really how she felt. She seems more concerned about controlling the situation and getting her way, than about anything else. And it will be at the cost of her daughter. I just hope we can all learn what not to do in a custody dispute. - Alexandra Gekas, Associate Editor "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
