WATCH: Mom shares heartbreaking video of son to raise awareness of bullying

I want people to know how much it is hurting us as a family, says mother in video

An Australian mother has shared a heartbreaking video of her distraught nine-year-old son after he was bullied in school as he has dwarfism.



The mother, Yarraka Bayles, shared the video to raise awareness of how bullying affects a person's wellbeing.

The video shows her son Quaden having a breakdown over being constantly bullied at school over his height.

"I want people to know how much it is hurting us as a family, I want them to educate their children. The whole anti-bullying campaign is not working," said the mother in the video.

"I have got to constantly keep an eye on him because of the suicidal attempts. This is the effect that bullying has, this is what bullying does," added Yarraka in the video.

The video went viral and Quaden received support from all around the world. Comedian Brad Williams, who also has dwarfism, saw the video and decided to raise $10,000 to help send Quaden from Australia to Disneyland.

"I’m setting up this GoFundMe to let Quaden know that bullying will not be tolerated and that he is a wonderful human being who deserves joy. I want to fly Quaden and his mother to America, get them a nice hotel and bring them to Disneyland," he writes in the GoFundMe campaign.

There are several anti-bullying campaigns and communities in Australia that are working against bullying in schools.

Their aim is to cause a tipping point in society where bullying is no longer accepted and create a safe, caring environment for students by bringing an end to bullying.
