THE SCAN SPORT - Quaden Bayles, a young Australian suffering from dwarfism and harassed at school, has been invited to the traditional NRL All Stars 2020 rugby match.


In a terrible video published by the mother of Quaden Bayles a few days ago, the 9-year-old boy, mocked by his dwarfism, explains that he wants to end his life, following the harassment he experiences at school. The video has moved the entire planet and in particular the world of sport. The Indigenous All Stars have invited the young Australian to the traditional NRL All Stars 2020 game where they face the Maori on Saturday.

Several personalities also reacted to the moving video of Quaden Bayles, notably the Australian actor Hugh Jackman: “You are stronger than you think. No matter what happens, I'm your friend, "he told her in a video. Jeffrey Dean Morgan, known for his role in the series The Walking Dead, also addressed his support to Quaden: “I saw your video. I want you to know that you are not alone, you have friends, including myself. (…) It'll get better. At 9 years old, children can be horrible, and that's because parents don't educate them properly. But I promise you it will work out. ”
