77. Who is Rosie O'Donnell? Who is Alec Baldwin?
Gone and already forgotten.

78. If you were his daughter, would you want to take his phone calls? No wonder she was out! Brainwashed or not, she has a mind of her own and, if he were truly a good father without the ranting and control freak nature, the kid would have said "Oh no, I don't want to miss Daddy's call" because she would ENJOY talking to him. It's obvious that this has happened before. I wouldn't be home either, to take his calls, I'd be out, anywhere but home! Ask the daughter what she really wants herself and get him to anger management!

79. Msg to the Baldwins!
It's OK to love him...
HE IS Still YOUR DAD!!!
Telling my sons this made me sad.
It made me forget that I was so mad.
Hardened hearts were ringed by a wall.
Deadened to feeling that could not recall.
Laughter of loving, smiles of the past.
Frightened forever loving won't last.
From all of the heartache mixed with the pain.
Brown eyes were watching and hearing the game.
Torn by their loving and shattered with fears.
They had no feeling for anger and tears.
Toe headed wonders, gifts from above.
Made me take notice.
There once had been love.

80. "IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILD, ALEC WILL DO WHAT THE MOTHER IS PATHOLOGICALLY INCAPABLE OF DOING.....KEEPING HIS MOUTH SHUT AND OBEYING THE COURT ORDER"

What happened to this ^^^

81. Good fathers get joint custody all the time and abusive fathers should not. So stop using this against a mother who is trying to protect her daughter, hould we give the daughter over to a raging narcissists because you feel father's don't get enought rights. Please.think even if you are a man some men are abusive as heck,And by the way most children want to live with mom. so sad to bad.
ses of Perverse Reversal of Child Custody [PRoCC] are :

1 The abuse has usually been evident prior to the separation and is one of the major reasons (usually the final straw) for the protective parent deciding on separation from the abusive parent. Such abuse and violence has taken the form of sexual, physical, or mental abuse or a combination of these forms of abusive behaviour. The abuse of the child(ren) has often followed on from violence by the abusive parent to the protective parent.

2 The abusive parent is most often, but not exclusively, the male parent/partner.

3 The forms of abuse are extremely painful to the children but sometimes do not leave physical evidence e.g. severe nipping, tight grasping of arms or shoulders, crushing of the chest from behind preventing or severely restricting breathing by the child, forms of sexual abuse such as digital manipulation or oral sex, constant verbal abuse of the child that the child is worthless/unwanted.

4 The (usually male) parent has personality characteristics of being highly plausible and manipulative, and often have substantial financial resources (which assists in the engagement of the most competent legal representatives) and with a position of power and influence in the community, and a reputation of respectability.

5 The abuse has been reported prior to the separation and disclosures have been made by the children to several professionals e.g. teachers, health visitors, doctors, police officers and social workers, who are convinced of the veracity of the child's testimony.

The Perverse Reversal of Child Custody usually occurs after the contact visits with the abusive parent and the child complains to the protective parent who then refers the matter to child protection professionals. In his defence, (and it is easy to see why a respected, respectable person would wish to vigorously and vehemently oppose a child abuse accusation), the abusive parent counters with an application to the Courts for a Residence Order or Custody of the children and alleges that the protective parent has been coaching or indoctrinating the child(ren) [PAS] in the disclosures of the abuse or, if the child is chronically ill or disabled, that the protective parent suffers from Munchausen’s Syndrome by Proxy and is fabricating or inducing the child's illness or disability.

In some cases the abusive parent is able to convince a key professional of the veracity of these allegations (often despite vehement opposition by the professionals who have received the disclosures) and this key professional supports the arguments of the abusive parent in the Courts. In several cases it is apparent that this key professional has abandoned professional principles of maintaining objectivity and impartiality and is gullibly persuaded by the plausibility of the abusive parent. The evidence of professionals who have received the initial disclosures and are convinced of their veracity are disregarded in evidence presented to the Court or are withheld or ignored.

Alex is trying for this I have seen his kind before.

82. Harsh at times, but clearly the child must have been repeatedly disrespectful and inconsiderate to her father. I don't favor harsh words at all, but sometimes teenagers need a wake-up call. I am sure that Alec Baldwin didn't ever imagine or want to have to had that sort of conversation with his own daughter. None of us know the whole story or anything about the Baldwin's personal business, but I say, as a divorced father of 2, keep the divorce issues between the adults. Both parents should act in the best interest and to the best
emotional support for the children; in other words, neither parent should play the child against the other. Don't criticize Alec Baldwin for expecting his daughter to act like a decent person and to have consideration for others. MAybe he is at the end of his rope, has exhausted all his attempts at being nice and supportive and is just practicing "tough love." We should all stay out of their business and leave that family alone.

83. mymy, thank you for such informative comments. I totally agree.

84. Practicing "tough love" does not include name calling!

85. Sometimes being in pain makes you lash out in an unthinking way. Everyone has said something to offend their child or love one when they are hurt. Listen to his voice when he is speaking to her. Think of the implications that he is speaking of when he calls her a 'thoughtless pig'. Any man that makes an effort to contact their child and who wants to be in their life should be given that opportunity. The man did not call her a pig. He was speaking of her unwillingness to speak to him and to answer the phone at an appointed time. Her actions and not the person was in question. I have seen and heard first hand where a parent manipulates a child actions out of bitterness.

86. #78-Mothers of abuse children: God Bless!

All you have state is true, and as you I hope the Family court judge does brake from the customary and gives this child a chance to heal and to lose her fears towards her abusive father, so she may grow up to be a happy, productive, functionable adult.

Kim is trying to protect her child from the animal she knows Alec is. This is why she had no choice but to divorce him. So we all need to give them their space and pray that the judge does the right thing by Ireland. She's 11 and innocent.

you MUST be joking. She is barely a teenager. Don't you think for a minute that she will eventually treat him in the same manner that he is and has treated her. It is a learned thing. So when she screams and abuses him you will be bewildered and confused as to why she is acting like that right? Kids have every right to not be abused they are not belongings. They have rights deal with it. To call you child a pig when you are 49 years old is to my way of thinking lower than a snake. To freaking bad the daughter had better things to do then make daddy feel good about himself. Sperm a dad don't make. Name calling and degrading have no place in his parental rights. You should ask yourself what must he have done to her over the years to have her refuse his calls? She will want to talk to him again as he is her dad and then he will abuse her again and she will pull away. Have children have to rights to self protection?

88. STILL HAVE THE SAME QUESTION, "WHY IS THIS ANY OF OUR BUSINESS?" "THOSE WHO JUDGE DON'T MATTER, AND THOSE WHO MATTER DON'T JUDGE" THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!

89. Rosie circumutilated (aka circumcised) BOTH her sons. Obviously, a lot of harsh verbal abuse on a child is like a walk in the park to O'Donnell. No wonder she sympathizes.

90. well my comment to this story is,Yes, mr baldwin was wrong for lashing out at his daughter and i feel for the daughter.its sad that this tap was send out to tmz. But to me i see that the issue is wat a realy bitc# this ex wife is. i cant believe a daughter at 12years old would allow that tap to be released out to the world.no matter how angry the daughter is w the father. it was all on the mother she did this and i cant believe she would do this. it tells you so much about about a person she realy is.to her it dnt matter wat cost it takes to make mr baldwin look bad in the worlds eyes.even it put her daughter in the center of attention. I hope ppl in this world dnt look up to mr baldwin as the bad parent cuz we all hve kids who we got angry w and has said some thinks we wish we could take back. but does that make us bad ppl or parents. NO IT DOESNT. TAKE A LOOK AT THE MOTHER. IN MY OPINION THE EX-WIFE IS A MANIPULATER,AND ENJOYS HUMILIATE OTHER PPL. IF WAS THE JUDGE IN THIS CHILD CUSTUDY CASE TO ME I WOULD WONDER about the mothers action of releasing this tap to the media. the mother wasnt thinking about her daughters well-been she was thinking about her gain in all this i hope she getts wats coming to her in the future.
so to voice my opioin this is a selfish bitch,manipulater,has a heart of evilness.
