About five days ago, Logan Fairbanks asked his father Josh to post a video of him reading comments left on some of their other videos.

Logan states he's never read them before, and then slowly reads through the comments. The video is heartbreaking.
One person writes, "It's funny because he's fat." Another person says, "He is so ugly and big." A third person writes, "I hope he gets cancer."
