7. Mary have you lost your MIND??
I quote.. Mary #6 " I think the real Alec is the one on Larry king all parents go crazy sometimes and if he hasn't spoken to her for days and she kept ignoring him all its logical to flip out. all parents love their kids"
What planet do you live on???? I am pretty sure that a loving parent who has there children's best interests at heart would NOT leave a message like that for them!! Maybe that's how you talk to your children but I would never cut down my daughter like that my job as a mother is to build up her self esteem not crush it!! Mary you need help for you and your kids that's just SICK woman I mean really now!!

8. oh come on. Tell me what father wouldn't be upset with his daughter - if not angry, if for the x-time she doesn't pick up or god knows what else she did. And that this tape has been made public is just another act from the bassinger camp. Just leave Alec alone, look at yourselves first

9. #6 - Mary: Do you pay attention to the news? Unfortunately not "all parents love their kids." Millions of children are abused daily (physically and emotionally) by parents who never wanted them. I'm not saying Mr. Baldwin doesn't love his daughter, but as a parent, I found that phone abhorrent. Getting mad is one thing; calling your daughter a "pig" + the colorful adjectives to me is emotional abuse. Ms. Basinger is just as bad for leaking this to the media.

12. I was married to a sick B@st@rd like him and I feel sorry for that little girl, and her mom!! My parents NEVER lost thier temper and called me names!!! Yes all parents get angry but you dont handle it like that, NO MATTER WHAT, by calling your child names like that!!! I think he finally lost his temper in a way that the public could see what Kim has probably been dealing with for a long time. He should not be allowed to see his daughter ever again unsupervised!!! And Mary, unfortunately all parents dont love thier children, they used them for their own agenda sometimes!! Its sad but a fact!!

14. There is no question that his message was outrageous, but I also ask, what kind of a mother would permit the added humiliation to her daughter by making this public? This beautiful little girl is unfortunately getting it from both sides.

15. That question was kind of black and white. The guy obviously has some anger issues, and I'm sure some insecurity from whetever Kim tells there daughter about him. He lost his temper, that doesn't make him a bad guy, or bad father, maybe somewhat irresponsible. People have no idea what is going on in his daily life, he could have gotten some really bad news, or been in an argument and made that call when he shouldn't have. Also, it seems like he may have been taking some anger at his ex-wife out on his daughters voicemail. Don't be so quick to judge, you people don't know everything. He's a sharp guy with a good head on his shoulders, I find it hard to believe his this maniacal with his child all the time.
