If you are one of the people who hasn't heard the tape of actor Alec Baldwin berating his young daughter for not answering his phone call, then I can tell you that this has been the topic of a lot of news websites the last few days. Alec can be heard calling his daughter and pig for avoiding his phone calls. However, parents have come to his defense saying that he has been pushed over the edge by an ex-wife who has done everything in her power to keep his daughter from seeing him. Aside from the fact, that he was wrong to take his frustration out on his child, what do you think about this situation? Do you sympathize with him and believe that he should maintain his custody rights or should he lose custody based on his temper tantrum?

I think he should take some anger management classes before he gets to see his daughter again. I've known tons of people that have been through nasty divorces and custody, but they always take their anger out on the spouse, not the child. Not that that's healthy, but a child doesn't deserve that at all. I don't have any sympathy for him. If my father ever spoke to me like that I'd have a hard time forgiving him.

Hi wachit14. It is bad that you have to take out your frustration on a young daughter but even worst if everyone is witness to it. I'm not a parent but I believe that no matter what problems or frustrations you have in life, do not take it out on your children. One temper tantrum doesn't mean he will lose custody or does it? Everyone makes mistakes but the question is do we learn from it or will it be repeated? I pity the daughter if her father makes a habit of doing this thing. I don't hold any sympathy for the father unless of course the child has some fault here. In the end, he would not only lose his daughter but his reputation as well. Thanks and have a great day!

I don't know if he should lose custody but he should at least get some anger management classes or something. I don't think you should ever speak to your child that way.

He wanted to say those things to his ex-wife, but most likely doesn't have her phone number. I realize he is fustrated, but should have been kinder to his daughter.

What I think is it was a bit much to say that to a child but pretty much it seems like her mother is behind everything because she is bitter. How did the tape surface anyway? I think he should also control his frustrations because it is not at all the child's fault for avoiding phone calls.
