Children can be cruel, even parents that never grew up. I don't think the law should get involved as it seems every party involved, and maybe the whole state of Ohio is mentally retarded.
A Minnesota woman described as a "neighbor from hell" started serving a 90-sentence Monday for harassing a family living across the street from her home.
Lori Christensen, of White Bear Lake, was issued a restraining order after hurling obscenities, making lewd gestures, videotaping the family and hanging signs with messages such as, "I saw mommy kissing a breathalyzer." The 49-year-old executive assistant was sentenced to the Ramsey County Workhouse, Reuters reports, after violating probation by ignoring the order to stop her harassing behavior. (For more on the case view the video below.)
A mother and daughter have been convicted of harassing and damaging the property of an Iranian couple living next door in the Jersey City Heights, but the jury acquitted them of a bias charge, The Jersey Journal reports.
Beverly Ong, who is in her 60s, and Johanna Ong, who is in her late 20s, both of Graham Street, were convicted by a jury Friday evening, Hudson County Assistant Prosecutor Leo Rinaldi said yesterday.

The girl's father should just clean the other guy's clock. In the old days that's how they would have handled this. Problem solved.

Yes but because the child is not in the video, the hobbling has not applied to her. That's what I'm understanding anyway.
But well done, I had not caught the "everyday for a year" part.edit on 5-10-2012 by SerenityAva because: (no reason given)

They are neighbors, the kid was getting off the school bus, the school bus delivers kids to their homes, they were in viewing range of the family and probably the little girl, but at least in viewing range of the grandmother who videotaped it. They were aiming their mocks at the family, quite possibly because they were being videotaped, but still, they were directly mocking the girl to anger the family.
The families have been feuding for some time, the child had been harassing and making fun of the girl, their actions were a direct mocking of the girl's disability and I honestly can't imagine any situation that could possibly have been another reason for it. They are childish, immature, disrespectful, ignorant, hatefilled morons and they deserve whatever happens to them as a result.
Of course the child isn't in the video, why would the grandmother videotape it without stepping in if the child was in the middle of it? She was doing what she could to bring the behavior to light, she videoed it and put it on youtube.
Now I'm not saying the grandmother or the parents are innocent, they've been fighting for quite some time. However, the man and his son are definitely guilty and they have "pics to prove it". The girl with CP is innocent and is being mocked, tormented and tortured by the man and his son.... perhaps even through the fault of her own parents in a way since they are the ones fighting with the other people. The girl is the only innocent party in this and she is the one I am concerned for but at the same time, she's probably the one who will turn out best in the entire situation. The man and his son are a-holes and the son will probably grow up to be the same kind of worthless crap that his father is. The girls parents probably aren't much better, I have no idea, but they associate enough with the kind of trash the man and his son are to have an ongoing feud with them, so they aren't "innocent" either.
The girl deserves to not be made fun of, the man's son deserves some counseling to understand why he and his father are wrong. All of the adults in the situation could definitely use a good beat down, but they won't get it, we have to hope karma kicks their backsides instead.... unless we are present when it's going on, then we can stand up and make a difference... non-violently of course...

I think it has to do with being an adult.
If someone mocks me fine, they mock my religion fine, they mock my life fine. Really it is fine, I would think you were a prick but I would get over it quickly enough.
They mock children not fine. Adults should let BS slide off their backs. Children should be able to enjoy life.
I will point out though that mocking my wife or son will upset me quite a bit though. However, if you tick my wife off she is likely to not let things slide as easily as if I would. She might knock you out. She is getting older but she can still kick a guy in the head that is standing.

Making fun of things that cannot be helped, just makes you a jerk.
I hope that this jackass gets what he has coming.
