VIDEO: Dad calls out bullies
One father called out racists bullies in a viral video.

PRIOR LAKE, Minn. (KABC) -- It's a heartbreaking case of bullying that led one Minnesota dad to share his pain on YouTube.

Brad Knudson says his 14-year-old daughter Diedra was sent an offensive, racist message on Snapchat.

Knudson filed a police report. He even called the parents of the child who left the message - that father also used the N-word.

So he took his story to YouTube, and his heart-wrenching video already has more than 800,000 views. *Warning: YouTube video has offensive language*

"I was afraid that if I don't get this out, if I don't get people to understand what's going on here, especially with this individual, that my daughter is not going to say anything to me and someday I'll find her hanging in the bedroom," said Knudson.

"I just hope people understand how much racism affects people," said Diedra.
