Jackson Bezzant is a typical elementary-aged child. He’s a cheerful young man who enjoys fishing, being outside, and spending time with his family.
Jackson only differs from typical kids in that he was born with a disease called Treacher Collins syndrome. It has an impact on the growth of facial tissue and bones.
Additionally, it has caused him to experience constant bullying at school from kids and even some adults. When he found out that his son had been called a “monster” at school, his father in Idaho felt “destroyed.” After that, the upset father ultimately made the decision that enough was enough and went on a mission to teach his boy’s abusers a lesson. Dan, Jackson’s father, has often seen this bullying.
He recalls walking down the street with his son and hearing a woman pass by them before saying “Did you see that little boy’s face?”
Dan generally maintained his composure and focused all of his attention on keeping his son happy and grounded, which is something that any parent who witnesses their child being tormented would find difficult to do. However, a recent event at school forced Dan to speak up because he was no longer able to remain silent.
Three older boys approached Jackson Bezzant as he was eating breakfast in the school cafeteria. They began making fun of the young youngster, calling him “ugly” and a “monster”. Jackson endured the brutal taunting while sitting there, helpless, until a teacher’s assistant saw and intervened to stop it before it became worse.
Dan was moved to tears when he heard the tale, but the situation was far from ended.
Jackson had undoubtedly been bullied before, but Dan was determined to make this the last instance. Dan was going to send a clear message to all of his son’s abusers: enough was enough.
He rushed to Facebook to make an emotional message denouncing the bullies because he was tired of constantly witnessing his young son being bullied, mocked, and humiliated.
Dan wrote:
“My heart is in pieces right now and my soul feels like its ripping from my chest,” Dan began.
”This beautiful young man, my son Jackson, has to endure a constant barrage of derogatory comments and ignorance like I’ve never witnessed. He is called ugly and freak and monster on a daily basis by his peers at school. He talks about suicide and he’s not quite 8!
