- After a group of 5th grade boys noticed a classmate with a learning disability getting teased, they banded together and made him a part of their gang.
*************************************
All the students at Franklin Elementary in Mankato, Minn. start every day with the Pledge of Allegiance.
But the "justice for all" part belongs to five fifth-grade boys.
"Why pick on someone," Jack Pemble begins to ask, as Jake Burgess finishes his question, "who has special needs?"
They're talking about James Willmert, a fifth-grader from another classroom, with a learning disability. Which, it turns out, can get a guy teased. READ MORE: usat.ly/1FJhnYe

These are the NICEST kids in the PLANET
Seems so!
Izaac Aliston These kids are so Nice this makes me want to cry i
Izaac Aliston TOTALLY and I'd be just like that too! 😄
right?
Izaac Aliston Oh god, I read incest instead of nicest. ._.
Poor kid first adopted, then his new father died, and people are bullying him. Smh
HypervisionYT What does smh mean?
Nabranes TwistyPuzzler The term *smh* means Shaking my head
HypervisionYT Ok. Thanks
He's so strong
No, He's awesome, has awesome friends and a mom that loves him. That's what I call a pretty good Life. He is someone not to feel bad about, but to admire.
Wow these kids are the future the road ahead looks good
let's just hope that these kinds of kids survive the society and not gonna let the society changes their point of view in life and successfully make their way into the top
These are the kids we need
When I was in elementary school there was this boy named Marcos. When he was born his cord was wrapped around his neck and he had a stroke. That left the left side of his body paralyzed. So he limped and his left hand wasn't able to move. He also had learning disabilities. People would always pick on him which made him mad and violent and he'd get in physical fights. My two friends and I always had his back and never let a bully touch him. So in a way I can relate to this.
You're Awesome ;D
You are a very very good person
You really are an angel for that kid, may allah also restore that love in your own life!
+kassidy Gonzales good on you
Nice job kid
*If i had a heart, it would have melted...*
relatable
same
Machop Sticks edgy
Machop Sticks Pokémon doesn't have hearts? Jk
Stop this shit
They will be friends forever
I hope these boys never lose the kindness & love they have in their hearts.
Just when you thought the planet was doomed.... along comes a story like this that restores a little faith.
No.... douchebaggery is spread well beyond the USA's borders.
+Christopher Deza -.- racist, no I'm not trolling either -.-you are saying that it's just america who is bad -.- I try to help every animal In need the best I can and I'm only ten -.- just a couple days ago a hurt dog was in need of shelter and food, a couple days later she is still bony but is walking, eating, drinking, and using the potty .-.
+firecrakka The planet is still doomed, lol
Well no we're still doomed and fucked but yeh these kids r cool
Plot twist they were stealing his prescription drugs
I hope they are still treating him the same way now that they are in Middle School
+Angela Diller Thats what I was going to say. After the film stopped they beat him up . True story.
+Rood Nverse lmao stfu
I think that people like that will stay freids through middle school
+owenredeyedsquid cyan and hopefully for a long time after that
I know this comment is two years old, but my Highschool and their Middle School was the same building when the comment was written. They are still friends as far as I'm aware of :)
This how you decrease bullying. By being a friend to kids who might get bullied. I remember I had a group of friends in high school who accepted, even with disabilities. I was not bullied that much in high school because I had friends.
These kids are inspirational
this is so heartwarming, i've never seen young kids this open and giving before. faith in humanity restored
restored*
+sydney valentine same here
+sydney valentine One example of a act of kindness doesn't warrant restoring faith in Humanity
+SensualCream it was more restoring the fact that there IS something out there that can change the world in a good way, there are many ways like that already present, but just the fact that they are so young restored the idea that the world can be fixed by anyone, not just the teenagers, or the parents, or the government. anyone can change something if they put their mind to it
+sydney valentine haha they showed this kid in america i thought it was only in sweden btw this ISNT original
My right ear enjoyed the narrator and my left enjoyed the rest
+Epicgamerbro2000 THANK YOU FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE!
+Bella Marie Randall me too
The only part of my headphones which work is the right side so the only thing i heard throughout the vid was the narrator. I legitimately heard nothing else. I saw them speaking but couldnt hear them
+Dr. Mario I actually agreed with u even tho im wearing a headphone its like half the side u could hear from but the other side u couldn't hear a thing at all
Same
Who was about to about to cry and tried to hold it in SO HARD
Mia Aguirre I’m literally balling
me
Mia Aguirre Me!! Lol
not me i did not get any tears im only crying because my mom hold my hair a tiny one tear tho LOL
Awwwwwww they are sooo sweet but my heart is gone.......gasps u officially melted my heart
This kid can shoot over his head and I can't even get it above my face respect to this guy
Nathan Vanderpool no they're not
um kids if you get bullied stand up for your self don't be scared or don't run away k
weirdo 1256 same
Nathan Vanderpool you piece of crap punk just shut up people like you ruin this world
To see the gallantry and _light_ of *true* men shine in these little boys... it leaves me awed and humbled.
( *EDITED:* I meant to say _these_ little boys...)
+themirrorsofmymind well said!
no, just no.
I totally agree, they are friends for life
awesome commit
Women can be gallant and nice, I'm very nice when you are not mean or try to hurt me for no reason
I think i'm gonna die! My heart has just melted into mush!
Gross
Might want to get that checked out
That is a true friend
Wow! This is great!
haha...T_T... funny
As a dad with a 7 year old autistic son, I will buy these kids a beer when they're 21. The big kid is a boss, and he's that one kid that even the bullies won't mess with, so he uses his size and strength to protect someone weaker than him. All these kids obviously have awesome parents, so much love and respect to whoever is raising these great young men. I hope my son has friends like this when he is older.
These guys are awesome! Bless Them
The special kid seems like the coolest kid to be around with.
each of their parents should be proud
DANGIT who keep cutting them Oinions😭😭
Wat
@@yourfbiagent9453 you really dont know what that means 😂
This is so sweet! These are the people who will save our world and stop bully suicide!
why are bullies suiciding?
The heavy kid is a badass!! The way he walked in the lunch room was pure boss
Finally some good kids. They got taught right!!!
nice to know there are still some folk out there with a bit of good in them. they kids should be recognised & well rewarded.
These boys are the future ❤️
Awww... I'm not crying. You're crying.
no u
We need more kids like those boys

Flames Semalf ok
I’m adopted and this just killed me it’s so amazing that these kids realized what they could do for James!
Don’t we all wish people would be kind to others with or without a disorder but the video here is on a higher level of kindness ❤️
Holy shit. he's really good at basketball.
Also, that last shot looks pretty gangsta. with all of them walking haha
+Agustín Molina he made more of those shots than I would of :|

+Agustín Molina I'm feeling a modern Rain Man...

The fact they went the extra mile to buy him a PS3 made me realize how poor I am.

naoki Hunter 531
These guy are good kids in my book. Way to go guys.
They're good kids in everyone's book. These kids are some of the best friends any one could ever want in their life. The kind that sticks by you, no matter what you've done or what you're going through
The message shouldn't just be ''don't pick on him because he's special needs'' it should be ''Don't pick on anyone'' but I'm sure these boys are nice to everyone.
+Michelle McNamara exactly! they aren't friends with him because they pity him like these news reporter. their just good kids who are there for their friend.
***** we do have great parents
+SpiderTyler 2099
I'm so impressed with you gents. The fact that you have empathy (the most powerful state of human consciousness) shows that you have a high emotional IQ. It proves you have a good head on your shoulders. Never forget that. It doesn't make you special, and empathy certainly won't make your life easier (unless it's from someone else), but you will be living in honor and righteousness.
You may have a harder time in high school, you may even second guess your so-call emotional IQ, but that's completely normal. Just never lose sight of the fact that you are everything that's right in this crazy world.
- I wish I could put empathy in the drinking water, give all these reptile-brained self-centereds a dose of humanity. :) That's me being cynical. (Not a good quality to have BTW.)
You, James, and your buddies are helping me to lose my cynicism. LOL - Thank you for that. :)
W/peace&Love
Bravo! What a great group of boys. They are the future!
A MESSAGE TO THE BOYS --------------> A real man helps those in need. Trys to pick up someones spirit, protects them. Never ever bullies anyone. YOU BOYS ARE REAL MEN. Your parents are doing a great job. Very proud of you all.
These boys are more (intellectually) grown up than some (physically) grown up! Wow! Are they for real?!
+SK Rao Well I'm sure that the Jake dude was also a victim of bullying where he posted a video reading hateful comments.
DuckThug It basically means that these kids are more mature than some adults and know how to treat better with adults. I have seen adults bully those that are disabled, call them ugly names treat them like they are four years old like they are less than human yet these 9-11 year old kids can treat a person who is disabled with respect.
who else gained faith in humanty after whaching this
not me
I’m crying,these boy are so sweet,we need more people like this
That's what real maturity and humanity is all about. These kids are winners in life and will go on to be great Adults. The world needs courage and thoughtfulness like these guys.
My heart didn't melt. Thank God that would have been bad.
Bloody liars.
It's disgraceful
Was it because they got a ps3 instead of a ps4?
Heh, I get the joke :)
lol
My brother was picked on a lot because he has asperges syndrome. He gets wound up easily and they took advantage of that. He goes to a special needs school and is setting up to become a mechanic or a builder. The teachers and kids at his school have helped him overcome massive challenges in life.
Notoriously Gaming i have aspergers as well, send him some love from a ginger nerd,
Some of the greatest geniuses are Asperger, from Isaac Newton to Bill Gates. Give him a few years and he will wreck bullies with his intellect.
Not all aspergers kids are geniuses, but some like a certain task or subject and the cling to it
Indeed, but geniuses are not always diverse either in their fields. I'm a touristic guide, so I know my geography. A couple years back, I worked for a school, and there was that Asperger kid. Handsome AF, wayyyy better than me in geography, it was his thing, his only "handicap" was in social matters. He made a big impression on me, and me on him I think. I actualy resigned from that school because of a disagreement on how to treat him with my coworkers. I interacted with him as he was any other kid, and slowly he started opening himself, where other members of the staff treated him with way to much "attention" to his Asperger syndrom. I Introduced him to some other youngsters in the school I knew well. They are still friends today, I know because I kept contact with them, once a year we gather (initiated them to some geeky stuff they love). He is about to mary sometime next summer. I am extremely proud of him, and I think it's quite a sweet revenge when you see that "poor kid" having more success than stupid people who would diminish him. For me it takes genius to be able to conquer life like that. Not the "academic" kind. Just life skills.
Notoriously Gaming that is not fair
These boys all get my full respect.
With all of the stories that are heard of people in schools being very unkind - in particular to those who are considered, 'different' or 'weird, which sadly is so common it's no surprise to hear - it's so wonderful to learn of people actually being so nice.
James and His Mom and all of those Kids are the Goats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What Great People!!!!!!!!!!
I wish most people were like this :/
I wish ALL people were like this
Hello WENDY
sadly lots of people doesn't have a brain
Though my name might suggest something else im generally like those guys
this was beautiful and did any one else realize he's left handed?
+kat nelson ? and now?
leeeeni ?
I'm left handed!
Saskia Woolaston YEAH LEFT HANDED POWER!!!
IM LEFT HANDED
Whoever dislikes this video is a bully
Umbro Vlogs I'm a bully then?
Or they probably dislike the audio issue throughout the entire video if you wear headphones
i loved it
Then 736 bullies watched this video
These boys are so pure-hearted, it restored my faith that people have hearts and can be helpful. And that's coming from someone who was bullied by her only friend
I actually cried during this video which takes a lot for a 14 old
I'm 14 and I cry everyday!!! 🤣
Colonel Cringe same and I've never been the emotional type
Am I the only one who literally cried???
nope I cried too
No....I still have tears running down my face lol
+Alejandro Moreno S. When your eyes are watering vs tears. Sorry it's a habit to call it literate crying from acting class. Haha
I CRIED AFTER A MINUTE WTF
I Cried. 😢😢
Deserves a like, I teared up a tad bit
So did I but *tore
@@IdontknowV wrong tear
These kids are making a difference. Someday they can look back and realize they changed this boys whole life and can be proud!
Who's cutting onions…
XD
+Murad Kacar Hey, did anyone notice, there are more than 100 dislikes !! I mean.....WTH !!!???? (o.O)
AwesomeFiosGaming Sorry, this type of obvious trolling is very old to TH-cam. Try again.......don't please, you are really bad at it.
me ;-; this vidio was awesome
+AwesomeFiosGaming your caming channel is a fail, just like your life.
Kids that are smart and understanding will know what James is going through and treat him with respect. Parents should teach their kids about disabilities people have so then they would understand it and not be cruel bullies towards them. They have it hard enough and not a single person should make it worse on them.
You are speaking the truth
LOOK AT THE BIG KID 2nd FROM THE RIGHT......YOU COULD CAST HIM AS A BULLY IN ANY MOVIE....YET....his heart shows his TRUE character.....I was that big kid...strong and fearless....and my folks taught me the importance of kindness, empathy, and friendship. I am a better husband and father for it.
The parents of these children deserve recognition for instilling good values in these young boys. I hope they continue to carry them with them into the future.
The 220 people who disliked this vid are probably the kids who bully and have no HEART
Amen my friend
nah they probably just thought the audio was fucked
the video is fake
because it melted lol
Ok
"Jeff?"
"What?"
"Can you tie my shoe?"
"Yeah"
*Begins writin book based on this little interaction*
I broke in tears when the video ended with him saying he loves them😭❤ there's still hope
I actually have a kid in my 4th grade class like this awesome guy he got jumped bye 3 5th graders one day and I came in hitting hard and I knocked them all out thisis how football and basketball andlifting weights can help u out but on the non bright side I got expelled😕😕😕 but the good thing was the kid lived right down the street from me and knowI invite him over everyday and I told him if he ever gets bullied or anything give me a call😈😈😈😈😈
So you lift weights and your in 4th grade?
Yep and play football and basketball
gaming god What the. How much you lift
Ramere Banks How are you 5 feet tall in 4th grade? You’re the size of a 7th grade. Of course you beat those 5th graders up.
Ooh, my hero...what a bunch of bull.
dude these guys are so kind bro
Imagine if these kids all grew up together, and even took their friendship through and beyond college.
I'm tearing up. That's soooo kind and sweet and thoughtful!!! Good for them!! MAY GOD BLESS Y'ALL
A moment of change does matter & gives you the pleasure to love one another.
We need more kids like this in this world ❤️ kids in my class are always cursing and fighting it's crazy 🙄
true
It happens in every class
LoryAnn Wait till High School.
When one of my classmates cursed, teacher gives them punishment lol XD
This made me cry..especially since Mankato is where I taught on the Mankato Parks and Recreation program while attending Mankato State. Minnesota people are such truly nice, decent people. I love the way these boys have made a difference for this boy as well as for themselves. They will all grow up to be better men and contributors to what our world needs. Thank you to whoever got them started on the right track.
Thank you Jan
Jan Barosh God bless you... you have what it takes... a girl after the Lord's own heart.
+Jan Barosh Thank God for good parenting. These boys are awesome, and would make any parent proud.
This is the sweetest thing I’ve seen in a while. Brought tears to my eyes
Absolutely amazing! These boys have hearts bigger than most! I will add all six of them to my daily prayers. God Bless ALL of them.
These boys deserve million thumbs up
To see small people do the complete opposite to how most others are treated is a blessing. I weep for joy, Thank you
Omg these kids melted my heart they r such blessings, god bless them all
This is amazing, kids together and helping instead and against the bullying. Kids like that have good families teaching them how to be better person in the World.
Before I met my good buddy Brett, he was aggressive, even to his friends. He came to the school when I was in 6th grade. For the first few weeks, I didn't think much of him, and he was kind of lonely. It was only when I asked him if he watched SAO (which I had gotten into that summer) to which he replied yes. No tears. No hitting. It wasn't until he told me that I realized he was aggressive, and at that point, I had practically modded him with the traits I look for in a friend. I saw the good in him, and he let me reform his life.
*molded
Jack Armstrong wow a true person
Yes, and it breaks my heart that people like me are rare beyond belief.
bro don't try to be high mighty cuz you already are but i had like an exact same story like i had a aggressive friend he isnt aggressive anymore but he was aggressive bc he was pretty lonely but i asked him if he wanted to watch a anime with me en at that time he became my best anime friend like i watch alot of anime with him en he is like pretty much changed to non aggressive
Jack Armstrong I am like that too.
I hope they continue to be his friend as the boys grow older and start having girlfriends. Touching story, it made my day!
* start having girlfriends or boyfriends!
+Rebornsilly True, I guess I wasn't being politically correct… My bad!
+Rebornsilly you just had to say that didn't you?
+Rebornsilly *What if tehy dont want a boyfriend or girlfriend what if they are an objectsexual? They could go out with a microwave... you are incorrect
+John Kloss you just had to say that too didn't you?
My heart just melted from from the sweetness!!!!!!!!!!
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL STORY AND THE PARENTS OF THESE YOUNG MEN SHOULD BE PROUD...
Poor kid he was adopted 😢😢😭😭😭😭 and he's dad died in a accident awwww warmed my heat 😖😖😖

+Lesly Cantero ajajaja sarcasm ???
+Rissho ro why would someone be sarcastic about that?
Why are you being rude to her? This video is about bullying and you're bullying her. And if you're gonna swear and argue in the comments, go somewhere else because you're useless.
Yay Yay
1v1 me
You'd be surprised how happy it can make you to take care of other people. Glad these boys learned it so young.. peace
Speechless. These boys are the definition of young hero's
Thia warmed my heart and it made me cry. We need all people like this
