Quaden Bayles, the bullied Australian boy whose story went viral this week, had the time of his life while being welcomed onto the field at a rugby game this week!

The nine-year-old boy was given the opportunity to run the field before the NRL match between the Indigenous All-Stars and the New Zealand Maori Kiwis All-Stars on Saturday (February 22) at Cbus Super Stadium in Gold Coast, Australia.

Quadens mother posted a video this week that she filmed after picking him up at school. In the video, Quaden is crying because of the bullying he suffered that day and he said at one point, Give me a knife, I want to kill myself.

A GoFundMe page was set up by comedian Brad Williams to send Quaden and his mom to Disneyland and it has raised over $450,000 in just days. The money that remains after the trip is planned will go to charities that are fighting bullying.

Quaden surrounded by sexy rugby guys:

I was bullied and I got nothing except "be a man" out of it.

Time's have changed.

A portion of it was used to send him a Disney World in the rest will be donated to charity.

---

He should buy the houses of the bullies and demolish them

Damn those thighs on rugby players. But good on the kid. But throwing money at him isn't going to change his mentality. Still needs to be counseled and watched. Hoping things work out for him. Thinking about suicide at 9 is unfathomable to me.

That mindset is dying out. It's outdated, dumb, and only makes things worse for dudes.

So.... is he 9 or 18?

He's 9. The only evidence that he was 18 is that he stood next to the number 18 in a picture.

That hasn't changed at all lol.

This kid is disabled and shouldn't have been in public school in the first place.

If he was just a normal kid, he wouldn't be going to a Disney store, never mind a theme park.

If he invests that until he graduates from university he literally never has to work. Take a salary for himself and keep the rest invested.

Good for him.
