Sutton gym owner offers free membership to bullied 11-year-old boy

Amy Hanson wrote a powerful status on Facebook about the abuse her son Jaydan Hanson-Moore was suffering at school.

Her post, which has been shared 119,000 times, said: “This boy right here, he is not your punch bag, he is not your stress relief, he is not your fighter.

"This right here is my son and I will no longer watch him suffer day in, day out from all your horrible bullying kids, thinking it's ok to give him a slap whenever it suits you."

Amy's plea to the school bullies targeting her son has received more than 30,000 comments of support.

One user said: "I hope your son remembers his worth always and that awful people will leave him alone.

"You feel everything he does and I am wishing both your pain away."

And after seeing the post, Neil Huntley, owner of Revolution Gym, has offered Jaydan 12 months free membership to the gym.

Neil, who suffered bullying himself as a child, said: "As a kid I was quite goofy and when I started secondary school my dad was made redundant.

"I had free school meals and hand-me-down clothes and I used to get bullied because of that and my teeth.

"My mum and dad also smoked and so I got told I smelt."

The 41-year-old who teaches self defence classes, mixed martial arts and boxing, contacted Amy to offer her son one year's free membership at Revolution Gym.

And the school boy is now part of the future squad - a group made up of young teenage fighters.

Neil hopes that by training, making friends and working out Jaydan's confidence will improve.

"The first session I got him the gloves and wraps and he was just smiling," he said.

"You could tell he was really shy and he is just the sweetest kid you have ever seen.

"He's naturally talented but he's never done it before, he will be a different kid in four to six weeks."

The gym owner explained why it is important to help people and show them kindness.

"I just hope it shows people to treat people the way you expect to be treated yourself,” Neil added.

"I am quite a giving person anyway, if I can help someone or change someone's life I will.

"It helps me and my own demons knowing I can help other people."
