40 Boys Put on Suits to Stand Up for Their Friend. It Worked. | The Mighty - 0 views

  • “It could have turned ugly. The boys could have gone to the playground and said, ‘Who’s doing this to you? Where are they?’” Keefe told The Mighty. “But instead they responded in this very adult-like, peaceful way. It was all about love and support.” Nearly six months later, Danny confidently walks around the school hallways. No one picks on him anymore, his mom says. “It’s kind of the opposite now,” Keefe told The Mighty. “Kids go up to him and say, ‘Hey, you’re the kid from TV!’”
  • “Danny started crying when he saw everyone in suits that day,” Keefe recalls. “He was only 6 but it was like he understood the magnitude of what happened. I’m just so thankful the parents in my community raised such kind young men.”

    "Kids at school often bullied Danny - they didn't understand why he wore a dress shirt or fedora each day, and they didn't understand why he couldn't talk. Danny has apraxia of speech, a motor disorder that makes it difficult for him to communicate. Kids would go up to him and ask, "Why can't you talk? Just talk." He'd come home from school distraught."
