Her tears went around the world. On February 19, the mother of Quaden Bayles, 9, posted a heartbreaking video on Facebook in which her son, who suffers from dwarfism, expressed his anger at the harassment he suffered at his school in Brisbane. “Give me a knife, I want to kill myself,” yelled the child in this sequence, filmed on the smartphone, which has been seen more than 25 million times on the social network.
If Quaden’s pain caused an impressive wave of emotion, many Internet users quickly doubted the sincerity of the young boy, and of his mother. Others say he is not 9 but 18. For others, it would be an actor who seeks to draw attention to him. And the prize pool opened to offer him a trip to Disneyland would only be a vulgar scam intended to enrich his family.

In recent days, conspiracy theories surrounding Quaden have been reinforced by the creation of fake accounts, using images posted on social networks by Yarraka Bayles, the mother of the child. Over the weekend, she deleted her son’s official Instagram page. And removed from Facebook the sequence that moved Internet users.
