Sean Hannity and many others stepped in to offer help to a young schoolboy named Keaton Jones after a video went viral of him tearfully pleading for bullies to leave him alone.
The young boy, who lives in Knoxville, Tennessee tearfully explains bullies make fun of his nose, tell him he has no friends and pour milk on him during lunch.
Keaton’s mother posted the video to Facebook and it has over 16 million views so far.
His mother wrote, ‘For the record, Keaton asked to do this AFTER he had me pick him up AGAIN because he was afraid to go to lunch.’
It’s hard to watch.

Hannity then followed up encouraging someone to set up a scholarship account for Keaton and offered to donate $10,000.
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
