Quaden Bayles is an Australian boy with achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism. Quaden was diagnosed when he was three days old.
Here's Quaden with his mother, Yarraka. She's become an advocate for dwarfism, with a Facebook page set up to help raise awareness.
The video was shared more than 500 times and has almost racked up almost 50,000 views. As a result of this, multiple trolls have commented on the video abusing Quaden with lines like "shit, that's one ugly kid."
Yarraka told BuzzFeed News she posted the video to her personal account, and not that of her advocacy page. She said the video, and the comments on it, have "really sort of snowballed now."
"I just posted the video to show my family, I thought it was funny and cute," she said.
"It was just on my personal page and then I guess a few people shared it and I don't even know the people that commented on it."
Yarraka says the comments, of which most have been deleted, were horrible but that "there's always going to be a few negative [people]. You just gotta shake it off."
Luckily, the positive people commenting on her video outweighed the negative. Yarraka said that she didn't want to bother with alerting Facebook, as it's something that's bound to happen.
