The world has rallied around this 9-year-old boy bullied at school for his dwarfism. Hugh Jackman posted a video telling him 'you've got a friend in me,' and US comedian Brad Williams has raised enough money to send him and his mom to Disneyland.
Bullied at school for his dwarfism, 9-year-old Quaden Bayles sobs uncontrollably in the back of his mother's car -- saying to the camera:"Give me a knife, I want to kill myself."
His mother, Yarraka Bayles, from the Australian state of Queensland, posted the heartbreaking Facebook Live video this week to raise awareness of the impact of bullying. In the video, she said her son had previously attempted suicide."This is what bullying does," she said in the video."Can you please educate your children, your families, your friends?" Yet what began as a plea has quickly become a movement.
— Hugh Jackman February 20, 2020 A Go-Fund Me page set up by US comedian Brad Williams has raised almost $170,000 -- and he's using the money to send Bayles and his mother to Disneyland in California."This isn't just for Quaden, this is for anyone who has been bullied in their lives and told they weren't good enough," Williams said on the fundraising page."Let's show Quaden and others that there is good in the world and they are worthy of it.
