So am I.

I understand - I just don't understand why; was wondering if anyone had an explanation for the name variations.

I'm scratching my head on this as well. He is referred to as JD on social media, full name is Jaxson Drew Williams.
Why would his name be changed like that?

Rightfully so, no mention of his Father? Why is that?

The coroner revealed to WDHN that Poague was dating Angles’ supposed father, but the child’s birth certificate does not name anyone as the biological father.

Yes, all 15 images are of herself w/ first post in MAR 2021
Click on the image of her standing with her back to camera. Click arrows to last image in the post to see
That face she makes
The sweet baby boy, Ja, deserves justice. Was she jealous of the baby or what?

It's unusual that an 18 yo college freshman would be babysitting her boyfriend's 18 mo baby in her dorm room. <moo>

A beauty queen turned in her tiara for a jail jumpsuit after Georgia authorities arrested her in connection with the death of an 18-month-old boy.

On Jan. 14, the Georgia Southwestern State University Police Department contacted the GBI about the death of a child. The unresponsive boy was taken to the emergency room at Phoebe Sumter Hospital in Americus

So, the child was taken to the ER by an individual and not by an ambulance.

How do you figure that? Ambulances take people to the ER every day.

I'll agree that it's possible the little boy was rushed to the ER by ambulance. It's just not how I envisioned his arrival. moo
The unresponsive boy was taken to the ER at Phoebe Sumter Hospital in Americus.

O.C.G.A. §16-5-24, A person commits the offense of aggravated battery when he or she maliciously causes bodily harm to another by depriving him or her of a member of his or her body, by rendering a member of his or her body useless, or by seriously disfiguring his or her body or a member thereof.
[site lists samples of this type of crime]
The crime of aggravated battery does not require that a victim's disfigurement be permanent. However, the injury must be more severe than a mere visible or superficial wound.

The child was admitted to the hospital where lifesaving measures were performed. It doesn't read like EMS was involved.

I think it's interesting that it's the University Police who contacted the GBI. So the investigation was begun by campus police, not by the regular police regional to the hospital the baby was taken to.

MOO

This is just speculation on my part, but one explanation for the varying baby names could be that the bio mother named him at birth. If she later relinquished parental rights or informally surrendered him to the bio dad, the dad may have decided to call him something different. Changing the birth certificate may not have occurred to the parents - or maybe was intended but just not done yet.

Possible, we changed our kids names. I had to explain to every Dr and hospital until everything got legally changed.
