While fighting back tears, young Keaton Jones couldn’t stop asking one question: Why?

"Just out of curiosity, why do they bully? What’s the point of it?" he asks his mother while in the passenger seat of a parked car. "Why do you find joy in taking innocent people and finding a way to be mean to them? It’s not OK."

Even though Keaton’s mother, recording the conversation, never appears in the video, the pain in her voice is evident as she asks her son about what he suffers at school at the hands of bullies.

"They make fun of my nose. They call me ugly. They say I have no friends," Keaton says, tearing up. At lunch, the indignities would turn physical. The bullies "put milk on me and put ham down my clothes, throw bread on me."

It wasn’t just him, but other kids, too.
