“Give me a knife – I want to kill myself” - boy cries after bullying incident

A little boy's video is breaking hearts all over the world - the nine-year-old was bullied by fellow students at his school because of his disability. 

Yarraka Bayles shared the video of her son Quaden to her Facebook page on Wednesday, after picking him up from school.

Quaden was diagnosed with achondroplasia – the most common form of dwarfism. The young boy has been bullied for a long time at school and his mother wants other parents to teach their children about bullying and what it does to the victims.

“I’ve just picked my son up from school, witnessed a bullying episode, rang the principal, and I want people to know – parents, educators, teachers – this is the effect that bullying has,” Bayles said in the video, which has been viewed more than 4.5-million times and shared by more than 110,000 people.

In the video, young Quaden can be heard saying he wants to die. His mother further mentions that her child is suicidal almost daily and this is the result of bullying.

If you have young children, please teach them to be kind to their peers. We are all equal and no one should ever be made to feel different.
