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.
Gogoro7 CNN grabbing it's Fake News credentials by the horns on this!
Disneyland and after? Joy is ephemeral, he needs moral support day by day 🙏
I don't care about his age, what you all trolls should care about here is the essence of kindness to all humanity and not talking rubbish. Bullying has no place in our world and those guilty of doing such must be punished severely. Humanity is all about kindness.
Scammers gone scam 🥴
I think you look so cute when you smile!
We all trick by him. He is an actor so he lied just to raised money? Not sure tho
The guy is CUTE!!
Bullied. Lol. Ooookkkkkk
Bullies everywhere all we need are heroes to get through life its self bullies us at times great response makes the world a better place
So I'm guessing everyone missed the beginning of the video when he says his mom calls him 'the dumbest kid in class.' Ah yes, let's make people aware of bullies.
They lie his mom using him to have money and so many people around the world helped him 😤😤😤😤😤😤
This will not age well!
You’ve all been duped.. but can’t say I’m sad about it
Internet: fact check a story lately? cnn is like...
Ok
Why he doesn’t need that if y’all were smart to no pit him that school or should of talked to and to fix them from being mean but really so his mom and him go you gotta understand that is not gonna work life is a son of a gun he need bigger than that
Love him, love all people and animals. Please, be Kind, we are just Human.
So this news network brags about facts and checks, and they keep promoting this crap when it has been revealed that was a hoax, so when do you do your checks? People that follow you got the balls to say that you’re neutral. You are a bunch of fake news and fake people! Period.
I hope they also send other bullied kids from around the world to disneyland, especially those kids who don't have access to the internet.
Kinda cruel to send a kid to a place where all the best stuff has a height requirement.
Even if he's 9 why does he get special treatment, he's not the only one being bullied and there's families in way worse conditions with children being bullied, where's their Disney land trip and 60k
Good. But is it a solution to the issue
They’ve been scammed. Even fake news has been caught. What dopes.
That’s not a little boy he a 18 year old he scammed everybody who sent him money🤦🏾♂️
Wasn’t bullied. People, do your research.
And there's a job waiting for him at my business when he grows up. I own a circus
Remember the lady who said a homeless guy use his last $20 to get her gas... and ended up collecting over 400k?.... will people never learn their lesson to donating blindly...
Something is sketchy about that video. As a mom, I would NEVER take a video of my children if they were so distraught and threatening suicide and I definitely wouldn’t post it online. How about putting down the camera and giving your child a hug?
If this news is valid & not FakeNews maybe the celebrities, incl. Mr Hugh Jackman, shld sponsor his health care insurance & lifetime education, at least until Quayden is financially independant. QuadenBayles
Wasn’t this story debunked and truth revealed?
I was bullied as a child and so was my disabled brother so it was hell. The children in his school, his class need help to stop being so cruel. We have to help the bullies and their parents raise the level of their thinking. AntiBullyingPro Proj_AntiBully AntiBullyingCen
IS THIS HOW BLOOMBERG GOT HIS START TO BECOMING A BILLIONAIRE?
FRAUD
I’d be making sure this guy wasn’t the problem himself. I’d be interested in what his teachers say about him.
Man you Americans have lost the plot. The kid is 9 and the story is for real. This is Australia we don't have 18 year old actor influencer midgets.
Money making exercise
Lmfao quality journalism
Bloody hell...when did people become so untrusting of others? What a sad world we all live in. I’m glad Quaden is getting lots of support from people who have a platform to bring bullying to our attention!
If it's not too much trouble, could you guys pretend you're journalists for a minute and confirm his age? Since it's clearly been a while since you've had to do any actual journalism: Maybe a birth certificate AND contact the school he supposedly attends. Let us know, yeah? 😉
im so happy there are some nice people in this world to help this child.
I demand they Release his birth certificate 😂
The 18 year old fraudster is too short for any rides in Disneyland ... Ironic 😂
I would like to see the teachers and administrators who knew of this abuse fired and then sued for negligence/failure to advocate for/as well as protect their students.
Animal
The terrible thing is: many kids and adults get bullied but nobody bats an eye. Now one kid goes viral, everybody jumps on the bandwagen for a boost of their own reputation. Pathetic.
Is he really 18 years old
NeelsKleynhans
What kind of a sick kid would bully this adorable kid? These bullies need a dose of their own medicine.
Send them to Disneyland?! They're rich bruh
If they ever do a prequel to Tyrion from game of thrones this is the boy to do it
شك ا لكم
The immeasurable damage that bullying does. God love him.
If this was staged it would be all over the MSM already. How would they benefit otherwise. Their would be a race reveal the “true story”.
My light and love to the little boy 💙
I know damn well y'all see these comments
Maybe him and Hugh can have a few beers together.
He’s 18
This goofy boy ain’t 9 he 18 do ya research
😊🌹🙏❤
I blame the Russians.
Now rally around children freezing to death in refugee camps in Syria or starving to death in Yemen. Odd, how we get our priorities skewed. By the way, why didn't his Mom speak to his school before posting this online? His getting all this attention is going to make it worse now.
Exploitative moms rule.
Faq....🤢🔛😆 you guys been pranked?
Now y’all believe trump cnn is fake news
Well my main concern is the now a lot people will do the same to raise money and live a free lifestyle... this guy or kid is an actor, I’m sure he was acting to heartbreak people and get money...
The main identity of this channel is to give always inspirational news to us. This is the reason which makes CNN is very distinctive than all others.👊
This ain’t him lol
Fake news
HE AINT 9 LMAO STOP
BBC you also have played. This guy is really good. Kindly varify there are stories that actually he is 18 years old, social. media influencer
You’d think a “reputable” news source would have removed or edited a tweet exposing this fraud. Nice job social media team
Super mind blowing? See how his intimidation got him glory
cnnisfakenews
This thing shows that most people still stupid.
What about the institutionalized racism in Australia that impacts the Chinese, Indians, Aboriginals etc? Who will take care of that?
Really CNN? I heard he's 40 😂
Still pretending this is real, eh?
I just watched this thing on the news about him being actor and it was a scam to get money. WOW.
WOW
Y'all Have Been 👇
Please update everyone and let them know this was a scam they need to stop sending money!
That's great. Now, how many Hollywood celebrities will rally around the estimated 240,000 California children under age 6, who are homeless? RealHughJackman
Why doesnt the mom show a birth certificate if everyone is skeptical about him? Theres thousands of kids being bullied everyday, many commit suicide. Why is this kid/man getting so much attention & money? Why arent the celebrity's donating to Bullying Causes. I dont like this😡
💙💙💙
i want to meet classmate fuck all of them
The kid is 9 years old. Don't make it worse for him!
I thought this was proved to be a scam and the kid is really 18 or 19 years old.
Hugh Jackman is reliable
espnSteveLevy Can You guys confirm age?
The irony of a young child being bullied to the point of Suicide at school, only to then be judged, trolled and bullied by adult strangers on the net and for the same said trolls and bullies to also attack anyone defending the victim.
Why do you guys post the same story every couple hours likes it’s new
Scam?
I thought y'all found out he was grown?!
FakeNews
He's not tall enough for the good rides
Dwarfism.....? Think about this kind of description for a short stature!
I heard this dude was 18 and is a fraud
This is so sweet!
They raised a heck of a ton of money though. Why did they need to raise so much? How will it solve the problem?
Who is telling The truth this Instagram pic was taken on his 18th birthday but now is 9 year old are you guys for real.
❤❤❤❤❤
Fake news falling for fake news. You hate to see it ! 🤣😂🤣
WajahatAli Good for him. He should be able to enjoy his childhood.
Kids are so mean! What are the teachers doing about this? It breaks my heart to see kids being bullied, and especially if they have something they can't help! I just hope he realizes he has a friend in me too! Let's not be mean to people who can't help the way they look!!!
Lots of pics have been taken down from his social media...but it’s a GoFund me scam...and it worked$$$
lolo Lolol
Brilliant, I still have faith in humanity
FAKE!!! He is an 18 year old actor scamming !
BREAKING NEWS: Trump calls bullied kid, “mini loser” says “if he went to my private boarding school when I was a kid I would have kicked his ass” Lindsey Graham says “ I agree with Trump”
Whatever....
i'm neutral on this, but is he drinking wine in this picture? or could it be some kind of soda?
Will sending him to Disneyland solve the bullying?
🧐
His mom is scamming for $500k so far. It’s not real...he’s an actor and “influencer” according to his Instagram.
FAKE NEWS
Wouldn't it be better to set him up with a full scholar ride to a college instead? I mean, Disney is fun in all, but an education and stability in life is a whole lot better, right?
this child has a manface
I think he’s still a kid but his mother should be jailed.
Ummm, he’s raised almost 400k so fat.
Thank you Jackman
You know the mother didn’t ask for money. It shows 5 yrs ago he was on a news station talking about his condition he was 4 yrs old, you can obviously tell. They went to a friends 18th birthday party and his mom held a mini photo shoot. So what? Brad and Hugh did their homework.
I hope they take that money and not only Disney but look at taking him to the little people convention that is held in America every year that has hundreds that come so he knows that he’s not alone and is surrounded by kids like himself. They raise the money to do both and more!
Yes 🙏🏽 now here is some good stuff!!
And I felt so bad him , it brought me to tears 😡
A young Tyrion Lannister in the making.
Y’all got a journalism check prob.
Most people with this disorder they look identical but they are not similar. So, don’t confuse with others.
I’ll bet his medical bills are outrageous too
The video is from 2016. He’s now 13. It was someone else’s birthday sign. His parents don’t seem like the best influence on him; middle fingers, guns & money in pix but who’s to judge.🤷🏻♀️ The fact remains, 4 yrs ago, he was severely bullied.
Pathetic considering the 'kid' conned you all. 'Kids' an actor and commedian. He has no issues and literally stole $300k from all tou fools who donated.
LMAOOOOO 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hahahahaha
Do y'all research anything, anymore? A whole news outlet
Scammer.
I suppose the kids think its OK to bullly, because 👑 🐀 does it. Way to go 🍊man.
This is really great news... 💜💛💯👊👊👊. LA nation loves you..
Fake New media is a disgrace, such a joke you guys have become...
Why to go
Money won’t stop bullying tho...that’s not how it works!!!
shame, do we get to throw garbage at the bullies?
If a black kid gets bullied just like this, yall better send them to the same trip he got to fly at.
How does going to Disneyland help this young man from being bullied? It’s a nice gesture but it’s a real issue and a trip isn’t going to stop it. We need actual change of culture.
This is so great!!
This is so awesome, THIS is how love is shown!💙
This is great! 👍 Now if we could work on the bullies & their guardians, we might prevent additional cases of bullying.
Disneyland, money will not change the fact that the kids will continue to bully him. They need to attack it at its source.
Can’t help but think do to recent “issues” that this boy is going to be used like an atm. I hope not
🤧🤧💞
kevinmornings funnybrad hey KITM, can you make this story next weeks great news!? Great job, Brad!
Hugh Jackman is one of the best guys out there
no ones talking about the boys comments to his single mom re offing his pain:
Ppl R So Cruel.
I got bullied for not wearing brand name clothes in grade 6, I beat the living shit out of my bully and never bothered again. fightback bullies
Barbadelic he's going to Disney 😭😭😭
This is the best part of twitter!!! ❤️
No one should ever be bullied. Have fun at Disney cutie ❤️
Nice to see him smile!
What a blessing!!
Wonderful to see this great kid looking so happy.
Happy for the kid got the support from every corner. But I believe bigger drawback/ flaw is habit to stay in spotlight then being drawf
MGC3I Different is beautiful!
O ser humano é tão canalha que ele sempre mira onde acha que vai doer mais.
Another celebrity hijack
💕♥️💕♥️💕♥️💕
Don't they realize that there height restrictions for the rides? Just big disappointment for the young man.
Reminds me of:
Smile kid. I prefer it to the video. There you go
Praise God! He needs some love and positive attention.
Love for this little boy.
Yes, send this him as much love as possible.
It's not enough to show support this is one child and there are many other kids that are being bullied in American school today, there should be laws in all school against bullying that will automatically dimiss the bully out of the school.
Hang in there kid🤝
What an amazing bunch of people. Let the healing process begin. Good luck dear boy, you are going to need it. xxx
I'm still wondering about the student who was attacked with a brick to the back of the head! That video was on twitter this week. 😥
You know Disneyland has gotten too expensive when celebrities have to fund raise to send two people there.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Let’s just not forget about people after the initial push. Support is always needed for all people at some point or many points in their lives.
Please help his Mom to enroll him in a better school with more vigilant and caring staff.
Send him to the beach, to a real place.
looks like a normal australian kid to me
Those bully kids need to be sociological checked it seems most expresses their freedom by bullying others due to issues caused by their parents. I am glad the kid is getting commendable assistance from good fellows
Great, keep feeding the rich, of all the natural places in the world. Ppl pick Disney.
Awesome
That's very nice I hope he has a great time, and then what happens when he goes back to school This should be the priority.
And where is “be best” Barbie? Didn’t she just win an award in Florida for her work on bullying. Why isn’t she leading the charge? Because she’s a phoney liar like the rest of her so called family.
Big hug for this boy❤✨
This is the best but where is the FOTUS in this.
How does the world know and the school isn’t cleaned out of its feckless employees
God bless this boy 🙏🏻
Bullies don’t like to fight, that’s a fact. It’s a self esteem problem. You fight bullies with fists and words and punishment, not fidget spinners and play doh. Liberals need to understand, compassion is good, when accompanied by strength.
Good job these are the news I would love to see more often.
KingTrillaX I know this hit you different the other day but no worries man the good of people showed through again. Bless the lil homie hopefully it gives him a more positive outlook for the future.
Bravo, do more, eradicate any suicidal thoughts from him forever
Some of you should be ashamed about your comments. Some of you are bullies too.
He is adorable
When government takes over... in other words these bullies would have been dealt with but I’m sure you cannot touch these bullies our people would sued. Throw their asses out of school. Have their parents pay for their education but most are saying take Q out of the school?
Better thanks
PattyArquette This is a link to the original video Quaden's mom posted on fb:
First CNN article I've liked in a long time. Kudos.
Great!! Thank God something good has come out of his unfortunate experience. This should love and support demonstrated will help him regained strength to fight the negatives and stay focused.
PattyArquette Unfortunately bullying begins at home. And currently in the White House as well. Kids need better role models
The mother should be ashamed of herself for sharing this heartbreaking video. She should have handled the issue herself instead of exploiting her precious son. I hope the authorities get involved. This is nothing more than exploitation.
Some parents really need to sit down and have serious convo with their kids... I did, I explained what bullying is and how it effects the ppl being bullied... Even explained suicidal tendencies for those that are bullied... And that I expect them to NEVER treat anyone badly
Ain't he handsome and sweet?
These are the stories that remind me that beauty still exists in the midst of the Trump era.
Your President is the Field marshal of bully... charity begins at home.
jaketapper ❤ 🌈 🐰
Yesss🙌🏽🙏🏽❤️
That’s wonderful! Have fun!!
Very good, good idea sabes nunca me eh burlado de nadie nunca me agrado los que lo hacen no me da gracias eso tengo 44 eh criado a mis dos hijos así respetando lo que hay en el mundo
jaketapper It is important to tell our children mutual understanding and respect. I hope this 9-year old boy’s case will trigger that.
God bless him
Bullying needs to be stopped..enough of this horrible news.
Does the evil of human beings begin to make childhood more beautiful?
The last time I wanted to stop a bully, I get blamed for hitting his face and nearly get expelled for it
jaketapper Let's add that it needs to stop at the White House while we're at it.
They should all get together and get him some private tutoring so he doesn’t have to be subjected to cruelty in the public schools
You know Disney is expensive when celebrities need to start a fund for kid to go. Shame on you Disney
💗💗💗💗👏👏👏👏👏
What school is this?!
❤ let love lead
The world? Lol
Real shit I would have prolly fucked with him too lol
I saw the video posted by this child's mum. Sad story, and the school clearly needs to take proactive action to actually stop bullying at the school. Not really happy about the mum's swearing in front of the kid and constant referral to suicide attempts - does this help?
That's sad. Why wouldn't the schools do something about bullying. They are afraid of parents of bullies. They need to be dealt with.
AND FIND OUT WHERE THE PEOPLE WHO BULLIED HIM LIVE.
Teachers around the world need to be paid more, trained better. They already have kid's lives in their hands, they need to prevent bullying too, kids are there to study. Girls wouldn't have tolerated this kind of behavior from boys when I was young either.
واخيرا؛😭❤.
galbeertt segue a história que ce deu rt e eu to só de olho
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Disneyland? For serve as pizza?
Schools must have a program to tackle this issue. This is a serious concern. As a parent it breaks my heart seeing this things happen.
👍🏾
We're probably looking at the next Peter Dinklage
How bout doing more than Disney land? Intervention of some sort. A safe environment from bullying. I don't have the answer but throwing money at it is not going to solve it.
This is how the kid get bully again.
Can’t wait to see him smile. He deserves joy and laughter! Disneyland will be lots of fun. God bless him🙏
We see you that bully don't have that smile and friends like us from afar you have friends on Twitter😄😄😃😀☺
I bet those bullies will be pained that their action has brought this sweet boy fame
Great kid, you are somebody. Never listen to a bully they only bully because there jealous of will do great things. We all love and support you and God Loves you. Through him all things are possible. God Bless!
I am for the most part stone cold and not very emotional, but that video broke my heart. Poor little guy
I hope he gets help then grow up old enough to drink and know things
Heart-warming response to a heartbreaking story. He is hero for facing every day . Now more MUST be done to protect him & all children from such misery. Schools have to step up -& parents TEACH their bully kids to be decent human beings - if it doesn’t come naturally to them !
Great. But there are millions like him, suffering all over the world every day.
What is being done about the bullies
Wonderful news

Internet braces for 1000 heartless copycats to chase celebrity sympathy. I'm not buying it I hope they don't get taken, the kid is awfully young to understand suicide is the way of escape and not his mother or father, etc., usually they feel you can take care of all their problems i'm sure at least a million children had a worse day than that kid.
