I am posting this here because apparently Alec Baldwin DOES have anger issues and is now on a campaign that would damage the rights of women and children everywhere:
Quote:
It is particularly troubling that The View - a show with a largely female audience - would air a program that could be so damaging to the safety of women and children.
In addition to his recent tirade berating his daughter, in the past Baldwin has punched a photographer, berated a NYC pedestrian for walking in front of his car, gotten into a shouting match with a NYC police officer the day Cory Litel's plane hit a NYC building and traffic patterns changed, he caused an actress to quit a Broadway show due to his temper after punching a wall because the AC was too low, called for the murder of Congressman Henry Hyde and his entire family on the Conan O'Brien Show.
The "theory" of Parental Alienation that Balwin cites as causing his behavior has been roundly discredited by the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges, by a recent article in the American Bar Association's Children’s Legal Rights Journal, by the National District Attorneys Association’s National Center for Prosecution of Child Abuse, and in a report by the American Psychological Association.

Alec Baldwin is an ASS and I hope Kim prevails for Ireland's sake.
additional note about PAS:
Quote:
While Gardner's PAS theory placed most of the blame for alienation on vindictive mothers seeking to alienate their children from the father, research by Janet Johnson suggests that violent men are the most likely to engage in alienating behaviors. This type of psychological control of the child can be viewed as an extension of physically abusive and controlling behavior.
