GoFundMe to send 9-year-old to Disneyland created after anti-bullying video goes viral

AUSTRALIA (WSET) -- An Australian mom's heartbreaking video showing the impact of bullying on her son is going viral.

In the video, that was posted Tuesday, Yarraka Bayles’ son Quaden, who was born with achondroplasia dwarfism, sobs in the car after another child at his school bullied him for his height.

Yarraka shared the video to her Facebook page to show what impacts bullying can cause.

WARNING: Viewer discretion advised, this video contains sensitive material.

In the video, Quaden can be heard crying and saying he wants to kill himself. Quaden is only 9-years-old.

“I wish I could stab myself in my heart,” Quaden says through tears in the video. “I want someone to kill me.”

Yarraka says that she witnessed one of Quaden's classmates patting him on the head and making references to his height, according to an Australian news outlet SBS.

She said she shared the video because the bullying is constant and Quaden has attempted suicide several times.

“I’ve just picked up my son from school, witnessed a bullying episode, rang the principal, and I want people to know, parents, educators teachers, this is the effects that bullying has, this is what bullying does,” the mom says during the video. "So can you please educate your children, your families, your friends, because all it takes is for one more incident and you wonder why kids are killing themselves."

Since the video was shared, it has gone viral with over 18 million views and over 300,000 shares.

The video even caught the attention of celebrities in support of Quaden.

U.S. stand-up comedian Brad Williams created a GoFundMe page to send Quaden to Disneyland.

Nearly $200,000 has been raised to support the Bayles' family.

Williams wrote that he created the fundraiser to show Quaden “there is good in the world," and says he's been in touch directly with Quaden’s mother.

Williams was also born with achondroplasia dwarfism.

The Bayles' family has been receiving a wave of support since the video was posted.

"I have copped a lot of backlash for it, I thought twice about deleting it ... but I wanted people to see the effect bullying is having on my child. If I don't stand up and speak out for him, who will," she told SBS.

SBS says Quaden has been removed from the school and will take up homeschooling.
