KNOXVILLE, TENN (WMC) - The man who started the GoFundMe for a bullied Tennessee boy is calling on donors to decide what to do with the money raised.
Joseph Lam said he created the page on December 9 after watching the viral video of Keaton Jones pleading for bullies to stop hurting people.
The video, which shows Keaton sobbing and saying, "it's not OK," after being bullied at school, has garnered the attention of countless celebrities after the video went viral on Twitter.
Lam’s original goal was to raise $5,000, but it soon shot up to $56,000.
However, the motivation behind the video was called into question after screenshots surfaced of Keaton’s mother posting racially charged images on social media.
