After being pranked by strangers while shopping at Target, an 8-year-old child with hearing disability was overwhelmed by amazing community support. Gabe Lyle, a young man from Southington, Connecticut, was out shopping with his father when he became the victim of a cruel hoax carried out by a gang of strangers.

They interrupted him while he was shopping and informed him that they were linked with the well-known YouTuber Mr. Beast.The tiny boy lighted up just hearing the name of his favorite content provider. He was overjoyed and overjoyed to learn that he had been chosen to play in a game. The strangers proposed a fill-a-cart challenge in which they would be blindfolded and the strangers would pay for everything they could get into the cart in 30 seconds.

Gabe and his father TJ gladly accepted the strangers’ proposal, believing that they were indeed associated with Mr. Beast. What transpired next, though, was far from what the father and son expected.The strangers fled while they were performing the alleged challenge, leaving them in surprise and disappointment. “It broke my heart because I thought my dreams were finally coming true,” Gabe explained.

It turned out that the strangers were up to no good and were simply pranking them by using the identity of a well-known person. This event not only irritated TJ, but it also enraged him because the pranksters targeted his son due of his disability. “My son leaned in and said he couldn’t hear them,” TJ explained. “They said that’s why we chose you for this challenge, because of your hearing loss.”

“When you say you chose him because of his specific needs, I believe you. I can’t let it go at that moment.” TJ couldn’t help but turn to Facebook to vent his frustration and anger. “All three men videotaped this with their phones,” TJ explained.”I’m not sure what kind of sick person targets children with special needs.”

I understand that as an adult, I should have known better, but I honestly did not expect someone so filthy to dive so low; seriously, I hope these three can live with themselves knowing they wrecked a child’s day and left him in tears.” Many individuals sympathized with TJ and Gabe and showered them with heartfelt communal support.

Gabe was overjoyed when the Town of Southington Commission for Persons with Disabilities awarded him a $200 gift card after seeing TJ’s post on social media.Gabe could also enjoy shopping for his favorite toys because Target offered a gift car for the same price. “I picked out Nerf guns, water balloons, and water guns,” Gabe stated after his shopping trip. “It made me feel both heartwarming and happy.”

Mr. Beast is also looking for Gabe in order to give him the time of his life. Mr. Beast answered, “Give me his info!” after seeing a tweet about the nasty joke. He didn’t mention what he’ll do once he meets the youngster, but knowing his love and generosity, he’ll most certainly spoil Gabe and provide him with an unforgettable experience.

Netizens expressed gratitude to everyone who helped Gabe recover from a traumatic tragedy. “Thank you to the town and the Target store for making a bad situation better for this young man.” People are simply cruel. “I hope someone comes forward and exposes these heinous people,” remarked Facebook user Janel Powers. Gabe and TJ were particularly grateful for the gift cards and the outpouring of community support.

It will be tough for them to recover from this harrowing event, but the love and support they received from the community will be inscribed in their hearts for the rest of their lives. In the video below, you can see Gabe’s bittersweet story:
