Keaton Jones | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Keaton Jones and his mom Kimberly did an interview on ITV’s This Morning earlier today, and spoke about the viral video that put a spotlight on his bullies, as well as the backlash that came with it.

“I actually haven’t been [back] to school,” Keaton revealed to the morning show.

When asked if it was a choice to keep Keaton out of school, Keaton‘s mom Kimberly said, “It was. He has maintained the entire time even at it’s highest high, that he didn’t want to go back to school….After seeing how big it got, it just seems like maybe we should let it die down a little bit before we make any decisions.”

Keaton also shared a message to his bullies: “Why do you bully? What’s the point of it? It makes me feel awful.”

Keaton Jones and his mom Kim are speaking out about the viral video that put the spotlight on their family after he was bullied at school.

Now, the family is explaining why they made the viral video on Facebook, and explaining the Confederate Flag Facebook posts that were unearthed later on social media.

“[Keaton] became more and more agitated and didn’t want to go back to school,” Kim said. “I knew that it could be great and I knew that it could be awful, and it has been.”

“The only two photos — the only two photos on my entire planet that I am anywhere near a Confederate flag. It was ironic. It was funny,” Kim said about the photos in question.

Keaton revealed it was his idea to make the video. “I had enough of it. They had said that someone was going to beat me up in lunch so I texted my mom and I said, ‘What do I do here?’” the 11-year-old said.

“It made me feel like I had accomplished something real. Something that could actually change the world,” Keaton said of the response to the video.

Bullying victim Keaton Jones‘ mom has deleted her Facebook page after photos featuring her family posing with the Confederate flag surfaced online.

Kimberly Jones has been accused of being a “racist money grabber” by some websites and she erased any trace of herself from the social media website amid the backlash. This includes the viral video of Keaton tearing up while talking about what bullies had done to him at school.

Keaton has also been accused of saying racist things, but this is something his sister Lakyn denies.

“Keaton never said those things. He’s not a racist and we don’t condone that behavior,” she tweeted to actress Patricia Arquette, who was an early supporter of the family this weekend.
