Kim Bassinger is no dummy. I am sure she and her attorney knew exactly what they were doing by making this public. What he said to his child (as I already posted on another thread here)is very similar to what my ex says to our daughter. It is verbal child abuse and she like myself can do nothing about it. Unfortunately the courts and judges in California don't seem to care about this. My daughter is a wonderful straight A student, everyone likes her, never any character problems, yet her father acts just like Baldwin. I hate it when folks always say that the two parents are just doing it to get back at each other. Yes, sometimes, that is the case, but most of the time it isn't. I know from experience. I hope Baldwin has to do more talking "to a judge" and gets more counseling. Mine had counseling though and good christian that he is, it didn't do any good. How can someone tell his daughter she is going to hell, with every vile word he can think of, then toddle off to church...
