One of the main goals of Western justice systems is to protect society's most disadvantaged members.
Also, the video stated that the man had been harassing the girl for months.
Several people have mentioned the Dad's right to free speech gives him the ability to mock another person, but have not given any thought to the rights of the other party. At least in Canadian Law, individuals have the right to security of the person, which includes their physical and mental health. It is very easy to argue that months of harassment, especially towards a minor (regardless of disability), infringes on their right to security of the person.
Sorry, but a guy's right to make an ass of himself should not, and does not allow him to cause physical or mental harm to another.
That is a tenant of nearly every Western legal system; An individual cannot use their rights to infringe upon the rights of another.
If the Dad doesn't like the sentence, he can call a lawyer.
