#StandWithKeaton: Teenager gets celebrity support after sharing anti-bullying video
A video, shared by the mother of a boy who is the victim of bullying in his school, has been getting some huge attention over the weekend.
Kimberly Jones shared the video of her son Keaton asking ’why do the bully?’
"What’s the point of it? Why do they find joy in taking innocent people and find a way to be mean to them? It’s not OK."
