9-year-old Boy with Dwarfism Threatens to Commit Suicide due to Incessant Bullying at School

A heartbreaking video was shared online by a mum from Brisbane, Australia, showing her son crying and saying he wants to die after being constantly bullied at school.

In the video, a visibly distraught Quaden, 9 who was born with Achondroplasia, a form of Dwarfism, is seen in anguish as he describes how he plans to take his life. 

The mum Yarraka Bayles shared the emotional video of her son crying hysterically after school on Facebook. She said she had just arrived at school to find female students “patting him on the head like a puppy” and making comments about his height.

She added: “She was patting him on the head like a little puppy. My daughter and I looked at each other and we made signals to him to ask if you are right, and he was like ‘no’ and he was looking at me horrified, like ‘don’t make a scene mum’.

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