poor guy, people can be so awful and cruel

[Ammi]

...that’s such a heart wrenching watch...I hope this will now be addressed the way it needs to be so that he can have an education and not the unhappiness he has now...heart breaking...

So easy to pick on him
he wanted a Gun to kill himself.

But then the Sports Rugby Group
said he can walk out with them
that cheered up the lad.

[GoldHeart]

It's nasty when kids get bullied especially over something they can't control, as usual the bullies are cowards if they have to pick on a innocent child like this.

[Beso]

Not sure I like the camera being shoved in his face.

[Amy Jade]

As bad as I feel I'm always a little suspicious of stories like this. Does anyone remember something similar not long ago of a boy crying he was being bullied but it turned out he was the one bullying other and basically his class stood up to him and he tried to then play the victim?

It's nature.

I haven't watched the video , I just heard it and thought about how nasty bullying is . Never crossed my mind it could be fake .

But I remember here in the UK some years ago a girl got attacked with a pencil sharpener to her face, scarred on the face had to go to hospital . And it was later revealed that she wasn't really much of a victim as she started a fight with racist abuse .

[LaLaLand]

Heartbreaking this is.

The amount of high-profile celebs reaching out to him is so lovely though and I hope it continues and he gets some lovely opportunities out of this terrible thing. :love:

[Alf]

Aren't celebrities just wonderful, so much better than the ordinary folk.

Three cheers for the celebrities

Hip hip

Id imagine every kid with that condition gets the same from other kids?

I think he's definitely a child, there is no proof of him being 18 at all.

[arista]

"OMG it's going around that this is a scam and he's 18?!?!"

The internet: "Caroline Flack killed herself because of toxicity on the Internet and in the press we need to stop"

Also the internet: "That bullied, already-suicidal 9 year old with a disability might be FAKING reeeeeee get him get him!! Scum!!"

Apparently there's fake Twitter accounts, but on the one real one he's still laughing at people and calling them clowns for giving him money :bored: .

That is not real :joker:

[GoldHeart]

That is not real :joker:

There's too many fake accounts , everyone I've come across is bragging about the money.

Why wasn't a proper charity set up to help children & people with his condition, instead of a go fund me which any Tom dick and Harry can set up :suspect:.

[Cherie]

Not keen on how his mother is reacting, echoing his sentiments that he wants to kill himself, his mother reinforcing this view doesn’t sit well with me, throwing money at him doesn’t solve the issue as the fake accounts attest to, hope he manages to learn to deal with bullying because it doesn’t go away, and some people will always try to put others down

That's why I'm wondering why they didn't set up a proper charity or send money to kids in general, looks like this is just going directly into their pockets. No idea how that's supposed to solve bullying .

Incorrect she killed herself because she was about to be prosecuted for domestic assault and her career would have ended. She did not want to face up to what she had done.

You can't attest to why someone kills themselves unless they tell you.

I thought this thread was about the dwarf kid , and the Caroline thread is now about Colleen Nolan :sleep: :facepalm:
