How’s this for child abuse
We all know Alec Baldwin, self appointed spokesperson for peace etc etc. Well many will have heard or read by now his phone message to his *11* year old daughter:
“I’m tired of playing this game with you. I’m leaving this message with you to tell you you have insulted me for the last time. You have insulted me. You don’t have the brains or the decency as a human being. I don’t give a damn that you’re 12 years old, or 11 years old, or that you’re a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn’t care about what you do as far as I’m concerned. You have humiliated me for the last time with this phone …
Do you understand me? I’m going to really make sure you get it. Then I’m going to get on a plane and I’m going to turn around and come home. So you’d better be ready Friday the 20th to meet with me. So I’m going to let you know just how I feel about what a rude little pig you really are. You are a rude, thoughtless little pig, OK?”
At least he never spanked her!!

There is more to Alec and Kim’s messy situation , as parental alienation is at work .I posted this on MSN article comments regarding his position as frustrated and confused dad .Two sides to every story eh ;
In defense of Mr. Baldwin I would like to say as a father of two young girls that were taken from my life six years ago – I can feel his roar of pain as parental alienation is child abuse. My lost girls are sad –so am I . A good father forms a loving bond with their children and when it is broken for whatever reason the hurt and resentment hits in big-time. Give me cancer any day – thank you – as having to witness your own flesh and blood being manipulated, poisoned, or brainwashed by the custodial parent is bloody heartbreaking for the paternal family.
Children should not be used as weapons of war in custody and access issues as it is always a sad outcome for the children .
The courts are bias and men are shafted and shuffled out of their children lives .

Politically, Baldwin is a scumbag but this is personal stuff.
What the hell is he still doing in the US anyway??

D4J, for once I agree with you and you are not frothing. Well done.
Children need both parents and should not be used as weapons for any custody battle.
That’s what worries me about the anti-smacking bill. Fighting parents could use it as a tool to alienate the other party from their kids.

Dear Haggis “That’s what worries me about the anti-smacking bill. Fighting parents could use it as a tool to alienate the other party from their kids.”
I agree and apologise for any previous offensive comments made about you . I believe that the love 4 our children should overcome all. Children Need a Mum and Dad not a nanny get in your face government .
King regards
in solidarity

I perfectly understand Baldwin’s frustration and I am not even divorced yet.My teenager is driving me to strong drink.I listened to the phone call on Fox and immediately thought YES YES;and this is from someone who loves her child.He will no more harm his child than I will mine.All go to bed please.

D4J,
Apology accepted.
Your comments can be quite thought provoking when you dont froth at the keyboard!
Yes, I believe that this nanny state control, will and is, damaging our families.
Fathers have every right to access and share custody with their children.
There may be extenuating circumstances where the parent may pose a danger to his kids, but this is not the norm in most custody battles.
It pisses me off when I see women use kids to fire bullets at the dad. Regardless of the state of the marriage, both parents brought those kids into the world and have every right to continue.
Here’s a curve ball. Do you think that men should be involved when a women chooses abortion?
