Social Media Users Divided Over Viral Video Of Bullied 9-Year-Old With Dwarfism
Folks on social media have been sending a whole bunch of love and support to the young Australian boy named Quaden Bayles. As we previously reported, his mother Yarraka Bayles shared a video on Wednesday which showed him in tears saying he wanted to kill himself due to all the bullying at school over his dwarfism. While some people have continued to send words of encouragement to Quaden on social media, others have now been left confused and even more concerned after coming across old pictures which apparently shows the young boy holding up money, and wearing expensive clothes.

While the family never said they were in need of money or asked for it, some people are still concerned because his captions on Instagram allegedly stated his age was 18, but apparently that has since been deleted. Now, earlier in the day, we reported that comedian Brad Williams, who also has dwarfism, created a GoFund me account to take Quaden to Disney World in hopes of fixing his broken heart. The donations have surpassed $200K and now people who donated think they have been scammed! However, Williams did note on Instagram that the money left over from this Disney trip will be going directly to anti-bullying/ anti-abuse charities.
Quaden’s mother has not publicly spoken out on these claims. However, folks have been going back-and-forth trying to get to the bottom of this. Some are convinced that he is 18-years-old. Meanwhile, the hashtag #HeIs9 is trending on Twitter as social media users try to prove that he is the age that his mother claims, and to encourage folks not to be distracted by the big message they’re trying to push out.
