grown man caught on video imitating limp of 10 year girl

Unbelievably cruel father mocks girl with cerebral palsy

William 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 don’t want to play outside,” Knight told Action News. They don’t 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 don’t know Bailey’s side of the story because he’s 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.

And "jerk" is the nicest word I could think of to describe him. Although I am glad and say GOOD that his face, name, and where he lives are posted in the article. 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.

However, any guy who delights in making fun of handicapped children as he does, is also a type to dial 911 on his phone and cry "Assault!" through his tears the second he hits the ground.

A 43 year old mocking a disabled child has no other side of the story.

On the full youtube video they interview the wife of the bully and she says something like they obviously didn't mean to hurt her. Bullshit. They're just sorry they got caught on tape.

Inexcusable fuckwittery.
