Quaden Bayles told his mother in a video that he wanted to die because he was constantly bullied about his medical condition.

Ms Bayles went on to say she had started the filming the video on Wednesday after witnessing an incident as she picked Quaden up from school.

The video has been viewed more than seven million times since it was broadcast to Facebook on Wednesday afternoon."Quaden, you belong here, this school may not work but there will be space for you," one Facebook user commented on the video. Inviting him to lead them on to the field ahead of a game on Saturday, they said:"We know you're going through a hard time right now, but the boys are here, we've got your back.

All these people slating the kid, ffs. If this was my child I would be heartbroken, I’d be down at the school kicking off big time! Poor kid, stay strong pal and ignore the haters.

I’m at a loss for words to be honest. Sticks and stones and all that bullshit! Words can hurt just as much I’m afraid. I think he’s a brave young lad and his friends and family will gather round and show him what really matters is their Love and Respect.💝

This is so unfair💔💔💔

The kids needs to be taught how to accept himself&the harsh world& be reminded that the only thing he can control is if we accept ourselves, that we’re beautiful&blessed in diff.shape, sizes&forms and that’s all that matters &no one can win against him.

A Rugby team has asked him to lead them onto the field.

Oh my darling, you are so beautiful, yet heartless kids can be cruel to this beautiful soul ♥️😢

I sincerely hope she stopped and held that sweet baby after filming. Please comfort the poor child

You have thousands of new buddies now mate,we all love ya

Happy now mum? You've got your viral tweet and made things 100 times worse for the kid.

That poor lad. My blood is boiling.

Amore

That's awful, Bullying is a kind of terrorism.

What did they do to him? He's developing PTSS. Get the kid out of there. The school has something to explain.

ignis_fatum This mother is going about parenting the wrong way. Show the lad Peter Dinklage with some naked women in GoT and tell him that’s what he has to look forward too. Also stop talking about suicide, very few kids come up with the idea to kill themself on their own.

This is so sad.

The school should be ashamed and subsequently sued.

I know how it feels... I have been bullied in college too. But I stood strong and never gave in to peer pressure... I emerged as a much more stronger individual today.

Bless him, so awful. Heartbreaking. Hope things change quickly so this young boy can enjoy his life

This is really sad

The head school masters whole country must end this bully hate. I love the child who is beautiful and very smart.

Man this is wrong!!!

Stay safe, precious son, who are the whole world to your family, sending lots of love from India. Good for you Mama, educate those bullys!

Nice that the National Rugby League are getting involved. Now this kid needs a worldwide platform from someone like the TheEllenShow Let’s help this kid to be happy please!!!

I really wanna hug him RN Such a poor child.

Holistic education is the answer. I would take the child out of the school immediately.

We need to celebrate this world because there is still so much good out there. Stay strong kid, the world is routing for you ! 🤛

This is very difficult to watch indeed!

CricketAus cricketcomau you've been an amazing positive platform. Please invite this Kid to a match. Let those bullies know that they're nothing in front of this brave kid!

This is so very sad. The bullies need to be called out and this little child needs some solid people to help build his confidence.

But what are the teachers doing when he is being bullied? Are there no kids raised well enough so they can come to his Defence?

Get him out of that school and home school him. He won't learn anything if he feels depressed every day. The school should control them!!!

Someone should sign him up for a reality show. (TLC) He’ll have cameras following him around, he and his family become famous and hopefully richer. Then let’s see who has the last laugh.

Take him away from the school and home school him. The school poorly run, the bullies should have faced discipline by now.

agarwal_ishanvi May god give you more and more power to over come all hurdles in life.. stay blessed.

This is disturbing..

Hope the authorities in Australia are looking into this incident, this poor young boy is desperate help, I hope those bully’s are expelled from the school & I hope the school gets the real wake up call on bullying, and most of all I hope this young boy gets the help he needs 😢😤

So heartbreaking 😢💔

Don't parents teach their kids to be anti-bullies any more? When I was young there were more anti-bullies than bullies & that stopped the terrors in their tracks. Kids learn from each other far better than from adults. I taught my son to be an anti-bully & he taught his kids too!

Can u do something Peter_Dinklage ? (If u r the real deal, or else let him know) Can u Go meet this little boy? Help him? Cause i think u r the only one whose words would mean anything to him at this time in his life😢

CryptoBunny4 Every kid gets bullied. The mom needs to stop videotaping and start reassuring her son teaching him to defend himself rather than feel bad for self. The mom is not being wise by publicly venting her personal frustration concerning her son in his presence.

Shame!!!

This is so hurtful..the pain in his eyes, at tht young age isn't fair at all! Someone hug him & let him knw hw amazing he is...and that he'll be a great & successful man whn he's older!

Son, the world stand with u. Love u

This is heartbreaking, God help him😢 he's just a little angel😇

So sad...he is so young, I have gone through this trauma

I hv a seven yr old and My heart breaks if I see her cry.. I cant imagine what his mom is going through

God damn it! Bloody awful. 😢

This is really sad..

This seems really staged imo especially given the amount of coverage it’s gotten. What kind of mother would let this go on let alone film it and put it on the internet? Certainly shouldn’t be talking about suicide and killing himself. If this is real she should be ashamed

I pray that you get the love and support you deserve my young friend. Stay strong 🙏

This hurts my soul. I'm so sorry that you've had to go through this Quaden. Different is what makes each person special in their own way. What makes you different is what makes you beautiful. Yur beautiful a blessing & your going to grow up 2make our world a more beautiful place

No one has the right to bully you for any reason

I would love to do a face-to-face with bully’s parents

Hard to watch. Need Teachers with authority back in schools. Fully protected to teach right from wrong and deal with the wrong. This is the impact. This poor kid.

Really dissappointing Cheer up buddy...

Damn if I were at school with this boy I would make him my best friend let no one ever say anything bad about him full stop

Be strong

Hope he will be fine

Find out who the parents are of these bullies, about time parenting taken to task.

Gut wrenching to watch this is. Bullies need to die a horrible death and this lad needs support from the whole world

hamp2529 Western schools and teachers are a complete disgrace. Lazy sods every one of them.

💙💙💙

Heartbreaking. Immediately seek professional guidance.

Oh dear poor little lad.

Stay strong, Quaden! Do not let those bastards win!

Please remind your child constantly of this. This breaks my heart that someone so young is in soo much pain from bullies.

Lmao if this happened to anyone of my family, I’d genuinely leave the bullies drinking out of a straw. No way could I live knowing anything like this happened and I didn’t do anything. Shame on the mother, seriously.

bullying is not some separate thing from NarcissisticAbuse it is only what we call it in childhood. (The term 'workplace bullying' is a direct juvenile extension.) The term is harassment or abuse - giving something a diminutive name like 'bullying' does not diminish its effects

This poor darling, my heart hurts for him! Small minded children with small minded parents. My children know not to treat people badly or different just because they may have different characteristics than what’s seen as the norm. hope he finds peace and a good group of friends

Some people are so cruel. It's sickening.

The poor poor thing. I’m so sorry for him. New school? Home school? Xxxx

Half way through I wanted mum to stop filming and start cuddling him. I'd have to find a way to home school him and stop his anguish

Bullying is disgusting, my heart goes out to the kid and his mother.

Heartbreaking

They should move to Canada

This literally broke my heart and had me teared up whilst trying to tell my daughter about this! You are a lovely human being and dont let anyone tell you different, people like that are just jealous. 💙

This is heart breaking, and so many issues within this short clip that I don't even know where to start? The person with most responsibility is the parent!! Go do what has to be done!

PeterHaydenDinklage must visit this boy to encourage him, to show him no matter what the people say about the way he looks, he can become someone strong with such a power and light and bright like a stars

I hate the bully nature of humans

.piersmorgan Mate..Anything you can do to show this little dude he has more love & support than he knows would be really appreciated..No kid should have to suffer like this..Heartbreaking..Cheers man.

poor little man 😢💔

bullying is just like racism, it has to end, force buddy

TheEllenShow Please reach out to them BeKindToOneAnother

Disgraceful.

Kill all the bullies

His rage is because he correctly believes she's contributed to the bullying. In fact, quite clearly (intelligent kid), her offense is worse because she also called him dumb and has DONE NOTHING. And she's meant to be his Mother. As far as I can tell, she's utterly reprehensible.

Poor kid seriously it’s heartbreaking. A lot of parents need to have a look at how they are raising their kids to be towards others. He shouldnt be bullied to that point.

Poor fellow. Bless his heart. Bullies need a good ass kicking.

Poor fella. Poor family.

First off, he needs someone to build his Mindset. Teach him to become a true Man. This Mother doesn't help him however, in fact her saying the words of suicide is just making him worse. Her crying, when he does... making him worse. He needs a STRONG role model. I thank Bullies!

Show this young boy he is loved !

He needs help and the other kids in school needs help to lay off him .I would if I was principal expel any child that would torment this kid

stopbullying

Omg...please please let other children underage this special child! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤

How does a 9 year old know so much about getting a knife/rope and killing himself? Why are we not concerned that he knows about these options

Parents need to teach their children to respect everyone and STOP BULLYING. This is so sad😥😥😥

Probably one of the most important articles on twitter today . Heartbreaking. Schools MUST step up - parents of bullies MUST be held accountable’.He is a hero for facing each day. Bullying must be dealt with in schools- no child should ever have to battle it out on their own.

This is just shocking 💔😔

I really felt his pain

That's just 😭 sad. Please know little boy you have a God-ordained purpose. You are a Victor, not a Victim. Conquer not the conquered. You are so special and highly prized and loved beyond measure.

😡😡😡 those kids that did this should be expelled from school!!!

Since no one is saying anything about this,enroll your son in a boxing class, so he can be able to beat the people that bully him,the people that bully him should cry not your son.

How do you explain to a child its ok to be different, this little lads life is being made miserable by cruel children who like to make fun of him, i hope now this is out in the open than the parents of these bullies discover their little cherubs are being mean and stop it bekind

Bless his heart. That is dreadful to watch.

Those kids need a punch to the face. The school to!

Don't want to watch it but you hang in there kid, you have far more to offer life than the f*ckers who are hounding you, what goes round comes round, be strong

They should be totally ashamed of themselves, bullies are cowards x

WarwickADavis is really successful even with a form of dwarfism!!. Shame this is allowed to happen to people in schools.

The parents of the bullies should be to blame.

He’s not happy.... (which one is he then) 😬

Keep your head up. Don't let it break you.

Bullying is part of British culture right? I mean tv and the socials are rife.

Let them be at the forefront for anti bullying. Anyone who can watch this and not be moved to tears must be made of stone 😢

I think his mother has done a pretty amazing job of raising awareness. It must be so painful for her and frightening. Speak out and be heard, only then can people learn and be educated. 🤗

Poor kid 😢I hope the school gives them the help they deserve and needs 💔

This is bullshit. Shame on the mother.

Shit world we live in when 9 year old kids want to kill themselves. I’d be ashamed if I had a kid that was bullying someone else.

Total lack of education on the part of those involved. The school is also responsible & needs to take swift action. He is a child, a human being & deserves respect.

Fight for her I will xxxx

Absolutely horrific, hope he gets the happiness he deserves.

Bless him. Heartbreaking.

I doubt this.

Couldn't watch the video - no one should have to go thru anything like this

Should parents be broadcasting their child’s distress and torment for the whole world to see?

How in all decency would you use this photo for your headline? WTF is wrong with you? Show a true photo of the beautiful boy he is!

Some people are horrible but not everyone, so he'll find some nice people.

Excellent she's literally made sure her son's distress is online for ever. Well done that mother.

I imagine this happening to my kids , really horrible

That would break you're heart 😢

😥

Awful video , absolutely broke my heart this .

Poor little darling he’s beautiful
