Trinity Poague, Reigning Miss Donalsonville (GA) Facing Murder Charges in the Death of a Young Child - 19 Jan 2024

If he had legal custody. Judging by how the funeral was handled, I'm guessing they did not go through the court. JMO, I think the father was raising him, but did not have legal custody of him.

Well that's a nightmare! How would he even be able to take the kid to the doctor for example?

Murder a baby and then get bail? Disgusting

I've wondered the same thing. We foster and always had to show paperwork. So makes you wonder if mom gave some kind of permission or did the baby go to the dr.

The kid had 2 whole different names

He was being raised in a dormitory

He had old injuries?

The name on his birth certificate is Romeo Angeles. IMO the dad wanted him named Jaxton, but mom named him Romeo. It was holiday weekend, the dad and baby was visiting TP. Nothing official has said he had old injuries, some of the wording the coroner used made me think that was possible. Still a lot of unanswered questions.

But the surnames are different too!

She's given him her name, and he's pretending he has his I assume

I can not understate how weird it is for a kid to have one first and last name when they are with one parent, and then a completely different first and last name with the other parent

That is f&#^$% up. Imagine how confused the kid was

Oh absolutely. There was definitely something more going on there. Even with the obituary, she excluded.the father.

Is she still the only one charged relative to this boy's demise?

 

[investikater]

Yeah if he has old injuries, how do they know it was her or just her?

Haven't seen any other news about the case, so, IMO no.
