ONE’s Chatri Sityodtong offers free MMA lessons to boy who was bullied over dwarfism

On Tuesday Yarraka Bayles uploaded a video of her 9-year-old son Quaden Bayles to Facebook. In it Quaden sobs in response to relentless bullying he has suffered at his school in Queensland, Australia.

The video includes Quaden, who has dwarfism, repeatedly saying he wants to end his life. Quaden’s mother can be heard saying, “This is what bullying does. So can you please educate your children, your families, your friends?”

The video has since gone viral with tens of millions of plays. In reaction to the video a Gofundme campaign was started to fund a Disneyland trip for the Bayles family.
