Unbelievably cruel father mocks girl with cerebral palsyWilliam Bailey, 43, and his son mocked a 10-year-old girl with cerebral palsy by walking with a limp as she got off a yellow school bus.
The mother of the girl who was teased caught the horrible moment on tape and shared it with 19 Action News. Trisha Knight told the Cleveland news station that Bailey often mocks her daughter and her children are afraid of the man.
They dont want to play outside, Knight told Action News. They dont want to sleep in their bedroom.
Bailey has a record and was found guilty of aggravated menacing in a separate case. Knight says she has heard gunshots fired from his home.
All of that said, there are two sides to this story. Knight and Bailey are apparently involved in a neighborhood feud and both have filed complains with the prosecutors office. We dont know Baileys side of the story because hes refusing to talk to the media. When a reporter approached him getting into his car, he slammed the door and sped off.
No matter, the bottom line here is that no adult should EVER tease a child and encourage his own son to do the same.

We know future employers often do Google searches these days- good luck with those future employers, idiot. Google searches and results last a lifetime. And he fully deserves it.

Inexcusable fuckwittery.
