On September 20, Good Morning America interviewed eight year old twins Ryan and Amber Suffern after word spread about a letter that Ryan wrote to Santa Clause. The twins' mother, Karen Suffern, read the letter and posted it to Facebook where family and friends read and shared it until GMA found out about this story and asked to interview the family.
In the interview, Karen tells how Amber is twice the size of her brother and has a few different mental disorders, including ADD and mood disorders. Then Amber told GMA that fellow classmates call her 'fat,' 'ugly,' and 'hideous,' though she does not know why. When Ryan was asked about his sister being bullied, he said that he wished that it was him that other kids bullied and not his sister. He was also asked to read his letter for GMA's listeners. Here is what he wrote to Santa Clause:
After the twins and their mom were interviewed, the family was led into a gymnasium where Big Time Rush band members came out to meet Amber and wish her an happy early birthday. Amber was in shock as the band sat with her on a small stage and sang to her. The band then asked the Suffern family to be VIPs at their next concert.
