Daryl - look on my profile. I know how bad custody battles can be - I was with a man who was in a custody battle 10000x worse than Alec Baldwin's. I looked it up - Ireland is now a tall, gorgeous model - her mom is the actress Kim Basinger. Kim did put out that tape, but it was because Alec was so horrible to Ireland before this that she started recording his screaming calls. He's a screamer. Screaming often, but doesn't always, precede hitting or worse. He is just not a great guy. But I see pictures of him with his daughter as an adult so they stayed in touch. Sorry there is zero zero less than zero excuse to talk to a child the way he did. It's a sign of a very low value and useless man. But we're on the same page!
