Angry Alec Baldwin calls daughter, 11, a 'rude thoughtless pig'

[Texasbelle]

Oh I agreed that he should not have said it, but I think and believe that he was very obviously pushed to this point by the mother. He is the one though who lost his temper and may have to pay the price.

Some of these children become very "coached" by the parent with custody on what to believe and how to behave. They will sometimes believe ANYTHING that one parent tells them even if it is so blatantly wrong. Case in point:

Friend of ours took their step son on a short vacation while the mother who is a doctor was in drug rehab. The child had a great time on the vacation, loved every minute of it. When the family got back home and the mother was able to talk to him on the phone, it was so appalling what she did. By the time she got done with him on the phone, he truly believed that he had been on the most miserable trip of his life. The child was crying and blubbering to the father about how awful it was and that he never wanted to travel with the dad and step family again. Funny how he loved it right up until the point the mother talked to him but what the mother did not know was that the dad was listening the whole time on another line to see what she was going to do. For you see this had happened on several occassions before and he wanted to get to the bottom of it. He finally figured it out. She worked the kid over until he said what she wanted to hear and until he believed it. Sad but this story plays out all over the country every day. I don't believe the judges ever do enough to stop it.

The Baldwin story is no different than others and there is probably so much more than we know, but it is probably no different than what many of us experience ourselves or with friends. The only difference is that the mother is now using the media to try and benefit herself. She is still forgetting to somehow drop it and put her daughter first.

Even if Alec was set up or provoked I don't feel he had any excuse for calling his daughter a rude thoughtless pig! Just imagine how that plays over and over in the young girls mind! It's a sad situation and I do feel the daughter is being used as a pawn between the parents as well.

I'm not sure that judges could ever stop that. It would mean stepping very far into private lives, and still, the good side would not always win.

As far as how guilty the mother is, I'm not familiar enough with the entire story to know. TB, You seem to have followed it over time. Sounds like they both need to grow up and become the parents the daughter needs. Scripture says that out of the heart the mouth speaks. A daddy's words will forever live in his little girl's mind. No excuses!!

Please don't think I am making excuses for Alec Baldwin I am not by no means. He was wrong and he is going to pay a high price for his actions. First he has to answer to the courts, his daughter is never going to forget hearing her father say that, and then he has to answer to his heavenly Father.

I am simply saying that this situation was allowed to escalate to this point. It should have been stopped long ago by the two parents! If they are not capable of stopping it, then the courts should do more. I do not feel the courts do enough in these situations. A better method must be put in place to help children such as this. The rate of divorce is rising unfortunately and so will the cases like this.

Kim may be bad too but Alec is sorry as they come. I am glad to see his true colors come out to the public

Actually, I am thinking they are both pretty scummy at this point. Look at how low they have both sunk now. One much lower than the other but they are both belly crawling pond scum feeders now when you do this to your child. It would be nice if the girl could just get a whole new set of parents, but unfortunately that won't happen for her.

And don't forget his fans who buy tickets to his films. That too might be a high price to play for his actions. But of course he never anticipated that his little tirade would show up in the public eye (or ear rather)

Did anyone disclose how the tape got to the media? Was it the daughter? If so, I wouldn't blame her. Was it Kim? If so, then she's using the media and the pubilc as a weapon, even if he deserves it.
