Thousands of people around the world have voiced their support for 9-year-old Quaden Bayles, who has been relentlessly bullied by classmates at his school.
As a young boy whose features look different due to dwarfism, Quaden has suffered an onslaught of criticism from cruel peers for years.
The 9-year-old’s mom Yarraka posted a video of her son on Facebook after a bullying episode that left him wanting to kill himself.
The heartbreaking footage has since gone viral, accumulating over 3 million views.
Quaden, who has the most common form of dwarfism known as achondroplasia, told his mom: “Give me a rope, I want to kill myself.”
In the harrowing video, the distraught boy can also be heard saying, “I just want to stab myself in the heart… I want someone to kill me.”
“This is the effect bullying has. This is what bullying does,” Yarraka states in the confronting video, while also pleading that people educate themselves.
