Hundreds of bikers escort 10-year-old Nova Scotia bullying victim to school
SYDNEY, N.S. — Hundreds of bikers gathered in Sydney, N.S., Wednesday morning to escort a 10-year-old boy who has been the victim of bullying to school.
The leather-clad bikers drove Grade 4 student Xander Rose to school and walked with him in a line to the front door of Harbourside Elementary.
Mike Basso organized the rally to support the boy after his mother reached out to a U.S. children’s advocacy group called Defenders Of The Children.
“I don’t know if the smile is off his face yet,” he said. “He was ecstatic. For the first time in a long while Xander wanted to go to school.”
