In speaking with the media, Brayden revealed that while he is not super close to him, he never liked the way he was being picked on by people.

Brayden said the boy did not have many clothes because his parents are poor. He said:

“I remember last year he only had 2 outfits cause he just didn’t have the money to buy clothes.”
