[betcats]

Great stuff, that video was very sad but this response from the indigenous team is brilliant.

Where is the father?

My kid is suicidal.
Do I
A) comfort them?
B) shove a camera in their face and film them in utter despair while offering no support, and running commentary on his break down?

Just an observation, He accuses his mom of not caring and he said she "called him the dumbest kid in class"

I smell a rat.... Time will tell.

I honestly feel like there’s more to this story than we are first led to believe.

A little person that’s a popular U.S comic was the one that started the gofundme page that was mentioned. Wouldn’t be surprised if Dinklage got in contact with the family with the story going viral.

Brad Williams. Very funny guy

Been a chiver for a few years now and can say once something has reached that page it will explode by a few multiples.

The kid certainly knows some choice words for a nine year old! Having watched the video in full some of his comments seem a bit strange but the anguish seems very real. Either way hopefully he finds support and some fun in life and comes out ok.

There's a few stories with pics circulating social media alleging this is a scam .
You'd hope not but it wouldn't be the first time shit like this has happened .
Be interesting yo see if there's any truth to it..
Regardless of what does come out bullying is still a major problem .

seemingly the doubters have been proven to be BS. In this day and age it’s understandable to be suspect of anything you see in social media, in fact it’s healthy to be sceptical imo, but seems this is legit. I am seriously worried about this kids psychological state given his language, terms he has used and threats to himself and others. Never mind the celebs sending good wishes, he clearly needs some psychiatric help.

Paul Gallen could do the same.

I’m usually cynical of online fundraising campaigns because scamming wouldn’t be hard and many of them are for people who have just experienced a normal (albeit tough) situation.

I only watched the press conference with the mum and Cody Walker before commenting but have now watched the full “breakdown” video of the kid. Some of their language is questionable but the anguish and despair seems genuine and if you were copping abuse daily, of course you’d be at your wits end. I also felt uncomfortable that mum recorded it at all, but again she’s obviously at her wits end.

Nah mate, the little fella is a f**ken boss troll. Real recognise real and he got us all good. See, eg, here: https://www.starnow.com.au/quadenba...zP8WE0yfughWq7d5BI91tqUEZ6bAKUlq_jO61Hk#video

There's videos of the kid waving around a fistful of assorted bank notes and photos of him in some brand label clothing which some people seem to have a problem with, but nothing I've seen suggests this is a scam.

This isn't the first time the kid and his mother have been in the news, and the mother seems to have been pretty consistent with her anti-bullying activism. But the crowdfunding campaigns, etc. are being set up by third parties with no apparent connection to the mother and kid, so I can't see a scam there either.

What is apparent, however, is that there are people out there spreading outright lies about them, such as the kid really being 18 years old.

That was my first thought when I seen the video why would you film your kid crying from being bullied and upload it to the internet to further embarrass them and make the bullies pick on them more

I guess after so many times you get desperate and in this day and age social media is by far the most potent For a) venting your emotions and b) raising awareness of an issue. Don’t judge her until you know her I say.

The fake profiles getting around are funny as f**k
