A heartbreaking video of a middle school student was shared online, that showed him sobbing while speaking on his bullies at school to his parent.
Keaton Jones, a teen from Tennessee confronted her mother on the subject of being bullied at school, as she captured the entire dialect on camera.
“Why do you find joy in taking innocent people and finding a way to be mean to ’em? It’s not okay,” the teary-eyed kid is seen asking his mom, Kimberly Jones.
Keaton’s mom described some of the bullying incidents, which included his classmates pouring milk on him.
“Talk to your kids,” Jones wrote along with her video. “I’ve even had friends of mine tell me they’re kids were only nice to him to get him to mess with people. We all know how it feels to want to belong, but only a select few know how it really feels not to belong anywhere.”
The video, which was uploaded on Facebook this past Friday, has gone massively viral – being shared over 400K times and viewed by nearly 22 million people.

Stay strong, Keaton. Don’t let them make you turn cold. I promise it gets better. While those punks at your school are deciding what kind of people they want to be in this world, how would you and your mom like to come to the Avengers premiere in LA next year? https://t.co/s1QwCQ3toi— Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) December 10, 2017

Keaton, I’m sorry those kids are being so mean. Unless people like that change they will end up having unhappy lives. I think you’re cool!— Patricia Arquette (@PattyArquette) December 9, 2017
