I don't feel that ABC is reporting a fair and balanced view of what is going on here. They are reporting as if Kim is guilty of what Alec has been saying, when what has just happened by hearing the tape, is that we see that what Kim has been saying all along is true. Yet ABC is getting experts opinions about parental alienation. Who would want to talk to Alec? Nobody, not even his kid and they are blaming it on Kim! What about domestic violence? That's what we have going on here. And they are talking about poor Alec and how he feels. Very sad ABC. And the courts have allowed this to go on and allow cruel psychotic husbands just like Alec to hurt children and mothers alike. Sad, sad, sad.....

I could relate to Alec Baldwin's frustration when I first heard the tape played on the radio. Being divorced myself, I am all too familiar with mothers who will stop at nothing, and I mean nothing, in order to drive a wedge between the children and their father. Alec fell right into her trap. That's how his message found its way onto the internet. Now the mother can cry victim after her years of "behind the scenes" antagonizing, designed to crush a father's heart. I will assume that the mother does nothing to encourage responsible behavior like calling the father when it is time to talk to him. I will assume that the mother has cultivated any natural dissent the child may feel toward the father, psychologically manipulating the child into being disrespectful. I will also assume that the daughter follows the mother's lead lock step. Globalconservative dot com, by Glenn Saccks

We have always remarked at how dangerous it is to try to take away a baby bear from it's mother, and yet there has been a movement to do just that. I think that the courts getting involved is the worst thing in the world for children. I don't know what the answer is, but the way we are doing it is not working in the majority. In cases like Alec Baldwin's, it only helps to draw the lines between the two sides. Dividing children is not the answer though.

Alec Baldwin is a controversial figure because he's both well known and opinionated. He's not the first father to have an alienated offspring and he will definitely not be the last. Alienation may be statistically normal for all we know. If his name were ALEX Baldwin no one would have heard the conversation. Let the family work out their own problems.

I suppose you know what "assuming" does, right?? So you're saying you see nothing wrong with threatening an 11 year old girl because she doesn't answer the phone? Right away you "assume" her mom is keeping her from answering. I wouldn't answer either if I had a father that called me insulting names and threatened me. I would have personally called the cops and let them hear his voicemail and get protection from this pyscho.

Alec Baldwin didn't abuse his kid.  He got mad at her and called her names.  It happens every day in every other household.  So what? 

 

We've got 3400 dead Americans in Iraq and we're spending money that is borrowed from countries like China and Mexico, on which Baldwin's daughter will have to pay interest as well as paying off the balance.

 

Want to do our kids a favor?  Why don't we stop killing them and wrecking their economy.  What Baldwin said or didn't say to his daughter is none of our business.  Did you see Brittany Spears ugly haircut?  What a cheap culture we've become.

I believe you've got it exactly right.
