Ohio Man Videotaped Mocking 10 Year Old With Cerebral Palsy

[bcl05]

I've known some pretty jerky 10 year olds.

I sure hope that "jerky" was a reference to personality and not a snide intentional dig at how this girl walks. If it was, shame on you.

I'd love for someone to take a baseball bat to this guy's knee and GIVE him a reason to limp. POS trash. No matter what differences the adults have, kids should not be brought into it. If the parents hate each other, whatever, leave the kids out of it.

No, it wasn't. I wasn't aware that 'jerky' motions was even a symptom of CP (is it even?). It was just the best adjective I had at the moment; I didn't think "dickish" would work for a 10 year old girl. But WOW at how your brain works. o_0

Stay classy, Ohio.

My job is mainly working with disabled kids. I take it real seriously. I deal with kids getting bullied all the time. The main symptom of CP is spastic, jerky movements - its basically the definition of CP. I'm glad to hear that your choice of words was innocent. Makes me feel better about ES.

My brother has CP and my son has downs. Working with special needs takes special people. That is just great.

As far as this slime in ohio...well, I am usually a very passive person but wow, I would love to give this guy a fist shampoo.

I guess my brain works the same, because I thought the choice of the word "jerky" was meant as some kind of supposedly clever joke. Even if it wasn't, implying that somehow the 10 year old girl contributed to her getting bullied by a 43 year old man is kind of... well "dickish" is a good word for it.

RTT I was responding tongue-in-cheek to thebluefood's sarcastic comment about her deserving it. I was trying to be clever, but not in the way y`all thought. Apparently I failed miserably.

Things like this make me very angry. I have two perfectly healthy children (I'm very blessed) who are 3 and 5 years old. I can't imagine how irate I would get if an "adult" was mocking their actions. Now, if they had a disease or handicap that they had to live with everyday and I saw this, I would go ballistic. This poor girl has to watch her brother and other kids around her live a normal life...that has to be tough enough on a 10-year old. Disgusting.

i saw where you were going with that....
but the beatdown you took will still help you to build character

This is beyond despicable. Even before I clicked play I was sick to my stomach from the title of the thread and the title on youtube. I believe that what goes around comes around, and they will get theirs in some form.

[Koolblue13]

*Especially* that girl with CP, right? She totally had this coming.

[/sarcasm]

Did I say they weren't being *******s or come to their defense? Did I? Or did I say they're a bunch of *******s and this is most likely shock tactics to win this retarded battle?

Exactly my point. This video alone, eliminates any debate of any other opinion possible, right?

One group (or family) being awful, doesn't mean the other group/ family wasn't also. We don't know.

I'm not defending anyone, just arguing against the lynch mob gang mentality.

That may be true, but I would argue that the video is clear enough. No matter what the back story is, there is nothing that makes that acceptable. The back story is really irrelevant here. I can't think of any "other opinion" where the behavior shown in the video is explainable and not despicable.

I agree 100% with you. I'd like to know what the parents in the other family did to encourage such behavior. It may have been equally bad.
