Alec Baldwin's Profane Taped Rage at Child
Alec Baldwin did abused women and children in custody litigation a favor by providing a Class A example of how such men treat their children, demean and denigrate the mother's of their children, but scream at the top of their lungs that they are being treated unfairly by the courts and spout claims that it is all the protective mother's fault because she is a psycho, alienating bitch.
Baldwin goes into a lengthy and profane diatribe to his 11 year old daughter on her cell phone voice mail. Not only does he swear, call her names, call her mother names and threaten her, but his rant demonstrates he doesn't even have a clue as to how old she is.
Further sickening is some of the public's response, which is representative of the treatment of domestic violence victims in society and underlying support of abuse against women and children. So many people have justified his treatment of his daughter and ex wife as being "deserved" or "provoked" and equate Kim Basinger's attempts to protect her daughter from this abusive parenting as equally abusive.
There is NO excuse for woman abuse and child abuse and Basinger is to be applauded for doing every thing she can for their child.
It should be clear to anyone who truly has children's best interests at heart to curtail visitation and contact with a parent who thinks that he is entitled to get love and attention by demanding it. Court personnel hearing this case and so many others like it should consider how it feels to be treated like this by your father.
The Baldwin tape illustrates common sense in child raising and human behavior, as well as the findings in domestic violence literature related to custody issues: children reject parents that bully them, threaten them and humiliate them. One can only imagine the terror at visiting the parent who made threats as he did.
Father's rights groups are all over the net in support of Baldwin and justifying his behavior. Basinger is being pilloried for supposed "parental alienation". The only alienation going on is that the Baldwin has created for himself.
So now he is caught and busy trying to gain sympathy by playing the victim.
No surprise here--this is what batterers do.
This tape confirms what Basinger has been saying all along, clearly demonstrating the way abusive men use Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) against abused women and children and
shows in detail the ways abusive men justify, minimize and excuse their behaviors and how society is complicit in the cover-up.
