Exactly. If this was a court order time to call then her mother should make sure she is available to answer his call. Two wrongs do not a right make.

Yeah, but this likely was not the first verbal abuse the child has suffered from him, The ugly words came too easy for this to be a one-time first-time deal. Alec has a history. What mother would subject her child to it?

I agree it seemed to come somewhat easily to him and is a serious problem for this poor kid. This should not have hit the media, IMHO, yet should be dealt with and corrected immediately within the family.

I hope this kid has a resonable support system.
