Effect Of The Viral Post
Grandmother claimed in the post that received about 75k shares, that Hunter, a first-grader, had been humiliated as penance for something entirely out of his control. He was just a minute late because the car had problems in the morning. She added that the humiliating incident was the fault of the principal.
The article attracted a lot of attention and was also viewed by local radio host Bill Meyer, who later inspired other community members to assist this struggling family.
