The sister of a little boy with dwarfism who asked his mum for a rope to end his life has hit back at trolls.

Quaden Bayles, 9, received an outpouring of support from celebrities and the public when his mum Yarraka Bayles shared a clip of him on social media in February to show how much damage his bullies have caused.

However, the young boy and his mother were forced to disappear for a while from social media after relentless trolling online – including claims that he was really an 18-year-old actor.

Now, his model sibling Guyala Bayles, 20, has spoken out in support of her little brother, saying ‘f**k the bullies’.

Writing on Instagram, she said: ‘I say F**K the bullies and the hatters! [sic] You’re the coolest, smartest, strongest and the most sweetest kid I know! You’re not alone and we’re all here for you my bruh’.

The young woman is currently signed to Chic Management and recently worked on a campaign for Maybelline cosmetics for Chemist Warehouse.

She has joked in the past that her little brother was jealous when she hit the big-time, telling the Saturday Paper: ‘He goes to me ”oh, are you going to be famous now, sis?” like, a bit put out, ‘cos he really likes being the centre of attention, you know.’

As well as modelling work, Guyala is an activist who has a history of standing up for Aboriginal issues.

In a video posted last month to Instagram, she called for the abolition of Australia Day, which has been criticised for being ‘racist’.

She wrote: ‘[T]here’s more important things to talk about then changing the date. I say abolish the whole thing altogether and focus your energy on; why our kids are still being take away, why there are numerous unexplained Aboriginal deaths in custody.

‘Why our kids are killing themselves at such an early age, why the incarceration rate is increasing for our mob, why we have so many health problems, why we don’t live a full healthy life, why the drug and alcohol rate is increasing within communities, why racism is still very alive in this country, why the government aren’t engaging with Aboriginal people at a grass roots level!’

At age 17, Guyala took part in Brisbane’s Invasion Day march in 2016, claiming she wanted white Australians to realise they lived in a ‘stolen county’.

The fashionista has also opened up about the racism she encountered while trying to break into the modelling world when she was younger.

Speaking to the Macarthur Advertiser, she claimed she had been advised to not mention her indigenous heritage.

Quaden was applauded as he led the Indigenous All-Stars NRL team onto the pitch ahead of a match against the Maori All-Stars last week.

The young boy has also received backing from famous faces including actors Hugh Jackman and Mark Hamill and singer Cardi B.
