"He said 'Mum he was being really nice to me I thought he was my friend'."
The theft had been reported to police and was posted on various Facebook groups, but the duo have yet to hear from anyone about it.
However, since Kelly posted about the theft on Facebook, members of the community offered to pay for a new one for him.
"With serious thinking and how important it is for Jaiden to have a phone I have decided to accept donations for Jaiden to get a new phone," Kelly said.
"I have ordered Jaiden a new phone thanks to a very kind donation, I am overwhelmed by their kindness.
"We will certainly be paying the kindness forward to someone else who needs it."
