Custody Problems
Well, even Alec Baldwin can't use his celebrity to get a fair shake with the court system in California. He is being "forced" to see a psychologist to determine if he has emotional problems--I wonder if Ms. Basinger is being "forced" to see a shrink also? I sure hope so, given her prior psychological problems.

Didn't Alec Baldwin give a speech where he raged that Republicans should be dragged from their homes and lynched? That sounds like a sign of an unbalanced mind.
I think they're both unbalanced. That poor child would likely be better off with just about anyone else except those two.
Plus - I have always wondered how in the world a psychologist can tell if a person is fit to be a parent by one or two visits. If the person in question is even half way intelligent, isn't it possible to "game" the system?
I have no idea how fitness is determined, but the short periods of time they use to make an evaluation, seem to me to be far to easy to circumvent. I could be wrong about this.
I was involved in a fairly lengthy conversation the other day in which a young lady repeatedly said that if some man did some thing that she didn't approve of, she'd kick him in the balls. Much as I thought she had a gratuitously violent streak in her language, I don't think she was mentally deranged (and I'd be surprised if she'd ever kicked anyone in the balls).
There is a big difference between hyperbolic language and mental imbalance.
Moreover: hands up who thinks anything we hear in the news about Hollywood couples lands within the same continent as the truth. Eh...?
Good idea, Alec could surely use a psychologist.
I suspect that someone who's relatively intelligent and has a basic understanding of psychology can game a single-visit diagnosis. The brother of a friend of mine, who was a serial criminal and prone to violence, seemed to be expert at convincing counselors and psychologists that he was harmless. He's in prison now, but only because he was found with a gun in his car, which violated his probation.
Having gone through hell called the family court system, I can tell in all honesty and with a good conscience that the system is broken. I was ordered to go through the same process during the custody battle. Everything is slanted or stacked against you as a father. Anyway, I did everything I can to spend more time with my daughter, paid child support dutifully and sacrificed everything I had for her sake. Now my daughter is in college and realizes that I was the one who really cared for her and she follows my advice and example for academic pursuit. I could have given her up during and after the custody battle but decided that I will just roll with the blows and do everything for her future.
Him - Narcissist.
Her - Borderline.
There, and that did not EVEN take two visits.
anonymous 9:58,
And you didn't even have to charge hundreds (or thousands) of dollars for the diagnoses. Unfortunately, there are plenty of kids like their child who live with pathological parents everyday--some even survive to write memoirs about it.
I suppose it could have happened to a nicer guy.

Someone needs to shoot both retard parents, Alec and Kim, and then put the kids in a normal home with normal, not f***ed-up Hollywood types. That is the only way in which Alec"s and Kim" kids will have a normal upbringing. harsh? Not unjustified if one takes a cool, hard look at the behavior of these 2 Hollywood yo-yos.
While I think Baldwin's political views are completely wacky. That doesn't make him a bad father. The fact that they are so publicly brawling about their daughter - that makes me think they're both nuts.
In general when it's a marriage - it takes two to make trouble. As Dr. Helen's pod cast with a divorce lawyer plainly conveyed. It's easy to hear one news story and think either he or she is the culprit - as if there is only one person in the marriage.
The only one really getting bashed through all this is the child. She's the one being tugged apart. And the fact that neither of them seems to want to make it private (with a court order) means they regard this as an open fight for all to see.
Most people work hard to keep the family problems within the family - not displaying them for all the world to see. In just my own opinion - when couples choose to do this - they both have big problems.
Here's a question. Absent clear cause no judge can randomly demand a married father to be psychologically evaluated for fitness to parent, so why is it an almost routine event in divorce? It makes no sense to me to say that since the parents are splitting it is now fair to intrude into personal areas without cause. Or, if it really is a necessary part of doing what is best for the child then why do we not extend the same care and concern to the children of married parents?
Sure, Baldwin is a goofball, but I can't remember anything that makes me stand up and say "that man is a danger to children."
ah these courts sometimes beleive just being a MAN is a danger to the child..
'Seems that the press have shown their usual honest and unbiased journalistic ethics with regard to this case and misreported the whole thing.
"The story should have said Baldwin asked for an evaluation as part of his request to change the conditions of the child custody order, and that a judge said an evaluator also needs to spend time with his ex-wife and child as part of the process."
It reads a little differently to the original, doesn't it? Whole thing here.
