There is obviously more to the story than his little bratty daughter not answering the phone. It would make no sense to say that stuff for just not answering the phone.
Now with that said, why in the world is everyone making a big deal about this?
Being called a pig, rude, etc isn't bad. Are now living in a society of arm chair quarterbacks that think they can dictate how you can talk to your kids?
I wish "pig" was the worst thing my parents ever called me.

WOW, I can't imagine why you wouldn't think that was bad, I feel that your right, there is probably more to this story, and I am sure his daughter has heard enough of his temper, Rude fat pig to a 11 year old girl and his daughter, yes there is a reason why he lives in N.Y. and she lives with her mother in California. I can't think of what would happen if she had done something really bad. But missing a phone call. This man is sick.

It is certainly normal to be upset with your children, but the parent has to be the adult. Baldwin didn't just "say" stuff to his daughter, he clearly lost control. He has a history of uncontrolled anger, and the question becomes, what if he had lost it in her presence. He could have done even worse.
I'm sorry your childhood was abusive, but you need to understand that such behavior is NOT normal...nor is it acceptable. If you have grown up to accept that verbal (or worse) abuse is normal and OK...because you were raised that way, unless you break the cycle, you will likely be abusive to your children and they will be to their children, etc. If you are a loving parent, is that really what you want for your child?

Once again the world is overreacting to something that is none of our business! This is between a father and his child. There are two sides to every story and it clearly sounds as if this spoiled little sh*t pushed him too far. Any of you who have ever raised a child knows how frustrating that age can be. He was angry and he could have said worse things to her. I think everyone should just let it go.

This whole thing is much hoopla about nothing - and even more importantly a nothing that is no one's business but the people involved.
Any parent who says they have never had days when they feel like they are within in inches of loosing their sanity with their children or has said things in pure frustration that they later regret is either lying or doesn't have any children!
These people had a nasty, long drawn out custody dispute - you cannot tell me that the children have only heard "positive" things about the other parent......and I am quite sure he didn't loose his cool over one missed phone call....the only people who know (and the only ones who SHOULD know) are the people involved.

I think the media is over the top on this. I have more serious issues about the person who released this to the media than I do about what he said. It was more hurtful to the child to AIR this publicly than it was for him to ever leave that message.
All parents get frustrated with their children. All parents say things they regret. One of the best lessons a child can learn is that parents are people, and all people make mistakes. It's how you deal with your mistake that makes you who you are.
(*laughter*) Besides the kid is 11/12? Chances are she is rude and a selfish pig..most of them are around that age.

i saw that on utube. i am guessing the daughter posted the recording and if so that was a terrible thing to do against her father. Often, fathers are kept away from their family but still forced to pay and in the end the children can get very bossie with the father. I don't blame Alec one bit on that and i can picture his daughter as a total mental basket case.

I agree....just another "tempest in a teapot" that the media jumped on. Must have been a slow day for news.
