Here’s what will happen to the funds raised for Quaden Bayles.A fundraising page for bullying victim Quaden Bayles has raised more than $705,449 ($US466,700) – and keeps on climbing.The heartbreaking footage prompted an outpouring of support from people, with more than 20,000 donations made to Quaden’s GoFundMe page since it was set up on Friday.Like Quaden, Williams was also born with achondroplasia, a type of dwarfism.Williams also said he had been in touch with a “very important person” who is helping him “make sure the money is spent correctly”.In response, Ms Bayles wrote on Facebook that there was only one “legit” GoFundMe and she was “aware of other fake accounts”, calling on people to report them.One of them even claimed to be Quaden’s mother, writing that she was “just a tired mum” whose son was being bullied.A GoFundMe spokeswoman also told news.com.au: “GoFundMe has a dedicated team of trust and safety experts who are responsible for interacting with campaign organisers and beneficiaries to ensure that funds reach the intended place.”As people gave generously to support Quaden and his family, scammers have appeared to try to take advantage of the situation.After the Disneyland trip for Quaden and his mother is paid for, the rest of the money won’t be able to just be pocketed or go to waste.The video showed Quaden “in hysterics” as he spoke about the toll bullying had had on him.
