After the mother of Quaden Bayles, a 9-year-old Australian-born boy who posted a video showing the effects his son suffered from bullies, the world reacted anxiously.
Soon, everyone was in solidarity with the little one, and even the much-raised GoFundMe raised more money than he imagined to help him. In less than a day, GoFundMe totaled $ 366,000, which will go to the 9-year-old and his mom.
Immediately following the news, the next scandal erupted on the Internet. All of a sudden there were some conspiracy theories, like, "The boy is really 18 years old and the whole story is made up because he has money, he's an instagram model and not a little celebrity." There were others who said he is an actor and it has all been a big scam for people.
"His name is Quaden Bayles, he is 18 years old and in fact he is very wealthy," read a comment on Twitter, and a major debate took place on social media. Fans refer to some photos from his Instagram, which he says he edited after the fame he received the last 24 hours.
In fact, so far there is no concrete evidence that proves that the boy who touched the hearts of the whole world is in fact deceitful. During an interview in 2015 to raise awareness about nanism, Quaden, accompanied by his mother, was described as a "4-year-old boy".
If in 2015 he was 4, then the boy is 9 and all other theories are just silly internet comments.
In addition, the baby's mother has been systematically active on social networks and has occasionally documented the 9-year-old's growth through photos.
