A 9-year-old boy with dwarfism wanted to kill himself because of bullying at school, but the Internet and celebrities backed him up

Yarraca Bales of Australia posted an emotional video on her Facebook, showing her 9-year-old son Kweiden with dwarfism crying in the car about being bullied at school and asking her to “give him a knife” so he could commit suicide.

Dwarfism is abnormally short adult height, ranging from 81 to 147 centimeters.

Kweiden’s mother appealed to the world to show the terrible consequences of bullying a child at school:

“I just picked up my son from the school where I witnessed the bullying, after which I called the principal. I want parents, teachers and everyone else to know how it ends,” says the mother.

The video went viral on all social networks and quickly went viral with over 44 million views:

Many users flooded the family with messages of support and admiration for the courage of mother and son, and Quaiden was also supported by many celebrities.

Midget comedian Brad Williams organized a fundraiser for Quayden to go to Disneyland. In just two days, Williams raised $446,000.

“I’m sick of this situation. I’m trying to reach out to this family. If my Australian fans know this family, please tell this beautiful boy that he has me and an army of friends around the world supporting him.”

Even Hugh Jackman reacted to the video and recorded a response on his Twitter.

“Quaiden, you are stronger than you think you are, friend. And no matter what, I’m your friend. Let’s be kinder to each other. Bullying is not okay. Period. Life is hard enough as it is. Let’s just remember that each person fights their own battle. Let’s just be kinder,” Hugh Jackman wrote

Kweiden was also supported by the National Australian Rugby League, and Australia’s Billy Deeb suggested that Kweiden train for boxing.
