COMMENTS: Website, Wristbands, Motivational Speaking--Age Nine
"Do you get picked on any more?" "No, because all my friends defend me." That was the triumphant answer from Jaylen Arnold. He became an anti-bullying activist after enrolling in a new school only to be teased mercilessly because of his Tourette's Syndrome twitches. The nine-year-old claims he "made a Website" to protest his treatment. He has become a motivational speaker as a result. He distributes Bullying No Way! wristbands, Lance Armstrong style. CBS' Kelly Cobiella praised him for displaying the American Spirit.
Check out the Jaylen's Challenge site and it looks nothing like the authentic work of a nine-year-old. Cobiella's uncritical admiration strikes a false note.
