The dad is a psychopath.

A man in a red coat and hat stands with arms outstretched, emitting energy from his hands, then turns to face a monstrous creature with white feathers and a snarling face, followed by a close-up of his grinning face, then a shot of him looking up at a red sky with a full moon, and finally a close-up of his face with a wide, unsettling grin. The setting is a dark, urban environment with green brick buildings and a night sky.
