Heartbreaking Viral Story–And People are Stepping Up in a Big Way

A boy named Keaton Jones from Knoxville, Tennessee has been facing some pretty harsh bullying at school. Recently, he called his mother to come pick him up after a particularly humiliating experience in the lunchroom. Keaton’s mom decided to record his description of what happened and now the heartbreaking clip has been viewed 17 million times. Here’s the clip as it was tweeted out by UFC president Dana White who offered to host Keaton for a visit to UFC headquarters:

Okay, have you stopped crying yet? It may take a while, especially if, like me, you have a son about this age. The good news here is that millions of people have now seen this clip and are reaching out to Keaton with support and offers that hopefully are making it clear to him that most people are not like the bullies. In fact, most people see a smart, worthwhile person with a bright future that other worthwhile people will want to be around. In addition to the invitation to visit UFC headquarters, Keaton has also received an invitation to visit the Tennessee Titans from tight end Delanie Walker.
