A 10-year-old Kentucky boy allegedly committed suicide after he was repeatedly tormented at school for wearing a colostomy bag, reports said Tuesday.
Seven Bridges hanged himself at his family’s home on Saturday while his mother was out grocery shopping, WHAS-TV reported. The child’s mother, Tami Charles, said she found him hanging inside a closet.

Bridges was born with an unspecified bowel condition and endured 26 unsuccessful surgeries to fix the issue, WDRB-TV reported. The ailment resulted in the need to wear a colostomy bag. A colostomy bag collects waste from a portion of the colon outside the body, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Bullies reportedly targeted the child over the smell from the bag. Bridges endured months of repeated bullying, his mom told the station.
Mean kids ... suck.

At a certain point, just pull the kid out of school for a while if possible.

What a sad story. I would have nightmares the rest of my life if I opened a closet and found my 10yr son hanging dead.

are kids being exposed to social media so early the reason they know about suicide at such a young age?
Posted on 1/23/19 at 9:12 am to Will Cover
I'd want to do bad things to those bullies.

For real. Let him continue schooling when kids aren't in their terrible middleschool ages.
I suspect their is more than just bullying that led to this. Might of had a bad home life as well or something. Either way, there is something haunting about a child committing suicide.

Likely. 15-20yrs ago, you were safe from bullying when you left school. Now, kids can’t escape it with the constant contact they have through all forms of social media.
It’s a sad sad world we live in

You know what? As a parent I'm with her on this. As big of a thing bullying is in schools nowadays schools need to be held accountable when they allow shite like that to go on. You can't tell me those teachers and administrators didn't know that shite was going on.
