Quaden Bayles, the bullied boy with dwarfism who has gone viral after his mum shared a touching video in which the boy was threatening to kill himself after a bullying session at school, has smiled from ear to ear as he was receiving a free haircut.
The 9-year-old boy has become an internet sensation all over the world after his story went viral, whereas thousands of celebrities and prominent figures expressed their support for him and other victims of bullying.
One of Quaden’s new-gained supporters is also Brisbane-based Nak Hair salon that decided to reward the boy with a new haircut after seeing his tear-jerking video online.
“His mum came with him when they popped into the store yesterday. We all said ‘hi’ to them – it was awesome. We offered him a cut and some free hair products,” a hairdresser working at the salon said in an interview with Daily Mail Australia.
The superstar makeover followed shortly after Quaden’s heartbroken mum Yarraka Bayles explained in her video that she was left with no other choice but to go viral after her son asked her for a rope to take his own life.
“So I’ve just picked my son up from school, witnessed a bullying episode, rang the principal and I want people to know this is the effect bullying has. This is what bullying does,” Yarraka was heard saying in her video.
“So can you please educate your children, your families, your friends because all it takes is one more instance… and you wonder why kids are killing themselves.”
The mum added:
“This is the impact bullying has a nine-year-old kid who just wants to go to school, get an education and have fun but every single fricking day something happens. Another episode another bullying, another taunt, another name-calling.”
Meanwhile, little Quaden was seen crying and sobbing and asking his mum to give him a rope so that he could kill himself.
“Give me a rope, I want to kill myself,” the 9-year-old said. “I just want to stab myself in the heart… I want someone to kill me,” he added.
