I identified pretty heavily with with Keaton when I first saw the video. He has many of the same physical qualities as I do, which I'm sure are due to cleft lip, cleft palette, and other things. We even share the same scars on the side of the head (mine goes from one ear across the top to the other ear).

Regardless of what has come out about his life or how he and his parents behave, I have no doubt that his experience with bullying/being made fun of is true. Kids can be pretty ruthless when you look different. He'll have to develop a thick skin and believe in himself to be strong, as even later in life he'll have to prove that looking different does not mean he's slow/challenged/weird/etc.
