So in the past few days...apparently some middle-schooler in Tennessee made a video complaining about being bullied, his mom put it up on FB, it went viral, a bunch of celebs hopped on the train, someone started a GoFundMe page for the kid, then came the turn, as people found borderline (or over the line) posts from the mom, the school principle semi-disputed some of the claims, the GoFundMe page was suspended, the family made all their social media private, and there started to be some rumblings about the kid actually being something of a bully. You know, the usual stuff...

From what I see, the family didn't start the go fund me campaign and I don't think there's been any proof offered that he was a bully or that he said the N word. I saw the sister's twitter account, and she said the picture of the woman with the confederate flag wasn't the mom.
I think there's something wrong with your son crying and your thought is to record it and put it up on social media, but that's on the mom. It seems too many are willing to turn on the kid.

Also, someone started a mock Keaton twitter account @racistkeaton_ and is posing some pretty vile stuff.
Not sure of all the fact, but one thing seems pretty clear, the kid is a victim. Of his mom, bullies at school, on twitter, or just all of the above.

Don't fucking put your kids on social media.

Anyone who goes onto social media runs the risk of people saying bad shit about them, kids included. However, Keaton didn't put himself up there.
