10-Year-Old Choked & Called Racial Slurs Commits Suicide, Mom Has “Little Tears or Sadness” After God Answers ‘Why My Son?’

[Ten]-year-old Seven Bridges tragically took his own life Saturday morning after enduring intense bullying from classmates over his colostomy bag.

Seven was found hanging in his closet by his mother, Tami Charles, who had just returned from shopping when she made the soul-wrecking discovery. His dad, Donnie Bridges was attending church choir practice when the incident occurred.

“Seven, he was a great little kid,” Donnie said in remembrance of his son. “He knows the Lord, he goes to church, he knows right from wrong. He knows respect and disrespect, so for him to keep his mind right, we prayed. I asked him to pray for us. I prayed for him. Drop him off at school. ‘Daddy I love you’… I tell him [to] stay focused, stay strong, stay on your game, don’t let anybody take you out of it.”

Sadly, the pressure and constant abuse at the hand of his classmates simply became too much for little Seven to take.

The couple shared that their innocent son had been bullied relentlessly by peers at Kerrick Elementary School over a serious bowel condition that forced him to wear a colostomy bag. The 10-year-old was born with a bowel disease that forced him to undergo 26 surgeries in his young life.

Due to the bag’s unsightliness and odor, he was name-called, choked, and degraded with racial slurs.

Seven’s parents are completely heartbroken, and his poor mother can’t erase the memory of finding her lifeless baby hanging in the closet.

“I saw my son dead,” she told WHAS-TV. That’s something in my head.”
