The footage went viral last Wednesday and Quaden has received messages of support from celebrities and members of the community. 

In the heartbreaking footage, Quaden – who has the most common type of dwarfism called achondroplasia –  is seen sobbing into the camera and saying he is suicidal from being relentlessly bullied. 

He told his mother: ‘Give me a rope, I want to kill myself.’ 

‘I just want to stab myself in the heart… I want someone to kill me.’ 

Quaden also scratched at his neck and said: ‘I want to die… I want to scratch myself’.

Ms Bayles shared the video publicly on Facebook in a bid to raise awareness about the impact of bullying.

The nine-year-old was invited to walk the Indigenous All-Stars NRL team onto the pitch at Cbus Super Stadium, on the Gold Coast, as they took on the Maori All-Stars on Saturday.

Ms Bayles said Quaden had gone ‘from the worst day of his life to the best day of his life’ after being asked to lead out the NRL team.
