According to WDRB-TV report, Bridges was born with an unspecified bowel condition. He underwent 26 unsuccessful surgeries in order to fix the issue.

Because of the ailment, Bridges needed to wear a colostomy bag that collects waste 'from a portion of the colon outside the body'.

As per the report, Bullies targeted the boy because of the smell from the bag. Tami told the station that Bridges was being bullied repeated for months.

Of her son's school district, she said, "JCPS: You all failed my baby".
