A young boy was recently captured on video that has since gone viral, in what appears to be him venting to his mother about being bullied at school.
The boy, who has been identified as Keaton Jones, tells his mother of the horrors he experiences while being bullied and gives hope to others who may be living through the same experience. Jones said kids were making fun of his nose, calling him ugly, poured milk on him and threw food at him. He wondered why he was singled out and said it’s “not OK.” And he told others who are being bullied to “stay strong” and “don’t let it bother you.” You can see the video below.
UFC President, Dana White got his hands on the video, posted it, and also reached out to Jones to invite him and his family to the UFC headquarters. Here is the tweet:
Meet Keaton Jones a very smart little boy who is being bullied at school. This video is heartbreaking!! I want to bring Keaton to Vegas and hang out at UFC Headquarters. If anyone knows how i can reach the family please let me know. Thank u everyone pic.twitter.com/BR8c4ldDFc

Trump Jr. caught wind of the video and Dana White’s kind gesture and offered Keaton a place to stay if he took White up on his offer. Check it out:
This boy is incredibly brave and the video really got to me. @danawhite, If he takes you up on your offer to see UFC Headquarters, I would be honored to host him and his family at our place if they need somewhere to stay. https://t.co/EWx05o0yI0

Sean Hannity also found out about the video and sought to do what is right by fixing the situation on his own and offered to fly the child and his family to NYC to be a guest on Hannity and visit FOX News. Here is his statement:
If someone can get to me the name of the school, the principal, school board members i will gladly make the calls myself and fix this. Also if anyone knows Keaton and his parents, i will gladly fly them to NYC to be my guest & visit Fox News. https://t.co/uFyp2r2Yn7

Hannity’s tweet got the exposure needed and soon found out Titans and Vols players are helping Keaton. Hannity asked the public to open a scholarship account, which he said he will make an initial $10,000 deposit if done.
Update; Good news, apparently some Titans and Vol players are helping Keaton. The school needs this Fixed immediately or people should be fired. If Someone sets up scholarship account for Keaton, let’s raise $. I’ll start with $10,000. $5,10,25 pp would be amazing. https://t.co/IzLGx2e9V6

The national attention made by Keaton Jones’s video is sure to shine light on the ongoing issue with bullying which has plagued schools for quite some time, and has led to several teen suicides. Hats off to Hannity, Dana White Trump Jr., and all others involved for doing the right thing for this boy and drawing attention to America’s bullying problem.
