Kim Basinger has hired bodyguards to protect her daughter from father Alec Baldwin.
Ireland is now accompanied daily to and from school because her actress mother is scared of what ex-husband Baldwin might do.
She called in the security after Baldwin called the 11-year-old a "rude, thoughtless little pig" in an answerphone message, which was leaked to the press, last week.
Don Basinger, Kim's father, told the Mail on Sunday: "The problem is that violence and anger are part of Alec Baldwin's make-up. He can't control his temper and you can't tell what someone like that is going to do.
"On the tape, he said he was coming to 'straighten' Ireland out. He was very threatening and Kim brought in the bodyguards because she has to protect her daughter.
"A father can just go to a school and pick a kid up. I don't think Alec is a danger, but sometimes people do things and regret their actions later. Kim is worried about her daughter."
