As usual, there's far more to the story than FOX tells:
Ohio man ordered to jail after mocking 10-year-old neighbor girl with cerebral palsy - NY Daily News
The menacing charge is related to an incident in which the girl's mother claims Bailey threatened to choke the mother with a chain, the newspaper said.
Stark County Sheriffs deputies had been to both families homes to investigate, and have also responded to other name-calling and loud music complaints, according to The Repository.
This didnt stop him, Michael Knight told The Repository. We do live next to him and its ongoing.
Bailey declined to comment after the hearing.
The story also said that one of the problems between the families is the Knight's reactions to and comments towards Bailey's son's ADHD, which, ironically enough, is not the "recognized" or socially sympathetic disability cerebral palsy is.
Maybe there needs to be a bit more understanding from both families, but that really doesn't account for FOX trying to lay the court's verdict or the man's plea solely at the feet of his mocking behavior without mentioning the menacing he engaged in.
We have highest incarcerated rate in the world because of war on drugs being fought improperly, not because of shit like this.
If that was my child I would of given him a permanent limp which would of been the wrong thing to do.
They put people in jail for pot so let him do some time.

Let me preface this by saying that that man was being a total ass wipe. But I don't want the government thinking it's their right to throw people in jail for exercising their first amendment rights. That's every bit as despicable as what that ass wipe did.
Canton Municipal Judge John A. Poulos ordered the maximum sentence for 43-year-old William Bailey, who pleaded no contest Tuesday to reduced misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and aggravated menacing.
He admitted breaking the law. Not seeing what your problem here is?
Seriously, you have no sympathy for poor people who need a helping hand, but some asshole who mocks a child is a First Amendment Hero?
I not only have sympathy for the poor, but I volunteer to help them, once a week I go to the church to give out lunches to the homeless and others who need them.
I do not think this guy is a hero in anyway, he's a coward. That doesn't mean I think he deserves jail for mocking a little girl. He definitely needs to be set straight, but I do not believe jail is appropriate in this case. I would however, think CPS should be called because what he was teaching his son was extremely inappropriate. At the very least parenting classes are in order, though I would have been satisfied if the girl's father had beaten the crap out of the guy and left it at that. I don't know why we've become such a litigious society and can't seem to solve our own problems without the cops or the government. I do not think our forefathers intended us to be so dependent on government for everything.

Ah. So two wrongs make a right.

My son had, or so the school said, ADHD. I would never threaten him with any such thing, nor would I medicate him. He got a cup of coffee every morning and plenty of fresh air and exercise.
The parents should be horse whipped.
Which parents?
Caffeine is considered self medication.
Hopefully your son had a very mild case of ADHD and grew out of it.
There was a time, before my time, when schools dx'd many students with ADHD, merely because teachers couldn't handle, or didn't know how to deal with 'fidgeting'.
How is your son doing now?

ADHD is hocum. I mean, I believe there could be something to it; but scientifically a bunch of quacks have blown it up. ADHD is not comparable to cerebral palsy. The dude was out of line.
No they don't - but if you mocked my disabled child, I wouldn't give a fuck about right, and wrong until after the fact!If that was my child I would of given him a permanent limp which would of been the wrong thing to do.

I don't know what's worse, the fact that this guy did this, or the fact that the government thinks they should infringe on our free speech rights because of it.
Avatar, a 43 y/o male vs a 10 y/o female is beyond bullying and probably threatening for the child.
I know you don't agree with this type of behavior.

What do you mean by government? I believe this is a local matter, not a federal government matter, don't use such ad hominem arguments against the federal government.
What this man did was in no way worse than Obama ridiculing handicapped people and mocking Special Olympics, just because he is a lousy bowler.

Originally my son was diagnosed with ADHD, later Asperger's Syndrome. I remember when he was younger a little girl telling me basically that my son was stupid (it was much worse but I don't remember the exact words). I said, "My son has ADHD, what's your excuse?" She just walked away.
I don't understand parents today. How can you not have tolerance for people with disabilities of any type? I remember back in the early 60's when I was in 3rd grade, for a short time there was a mentally retarded boy in our class. That's what they called it back then. The other kids were teasing him all the time and I was standing up for him. I was even mad at the teacher because she would complain about him in front of him and the class. You'd think a teacher would have more sense. I told my parents. I don't know what they did, but the boy was removed from our class.
I was in 3rd grade and I knew better than this father does now.

because of children with ADHD I'm against parents spanking and whipping their children, I believe that generations ago parents never understood nor knew that kids with ADHD are not really bad they just have a condition.
