An australian mother posted a heartbreaking video of her son Quaden hysterically crying
in her car after she witnessed him being bullied at school. Let me just tell you that I cannot
even look at this boy’s face without tearing up, and I’m about to hop on this anti bullying
train right now on IO.
What is good, welcome back to informoverload, we tell you about the most interesting news
stories we find on the internet. I’m charlotte dobre and I was bullied throughout my whole
life. Elementary school, middle school, high school. All the way up to university. I never
brought the bullying upon myself. I tried to sympathize with the kids who harassed me,
maybe they had a terrible home life and they were taking out their pain on others, mainly
me. But there is absolutely no excuse to treat others with disrespect. Subscribe to this
channel for a different take on the news and follow the IO team on social media.
Yarraka Bayles lives in Brisbane australia, and she says when she went to pick her 9 year
old son Quaden from school, she saw another student patting her son Quaden on the head
and making fun of his height. She started a facebook live session Quaden has dwarfism.
In the 7 minute long video, Quaden says that the constant bullying has made him not want
to live anymore, and his mother says that he already attempted suicide once. Quaden
has already had a very difficult life. He was born with a condition called achondroplasia
dwarfism. He’s underwent several operations because of his condition. Quaden and his mother
are also aboriginal australian.
I’ve just picked up m y son from school, witnessed a bullying episode. Rang the principal
and i want people to know, parents, educators, teachers, this is the effect that bullying

Another name calling, can you please educate your children, your families, your friends.
