<h3 style="text-align: center;">More Details Regarding The Georgia Mother&#8217;s Alleged Birthing Incident</h3>
<p>On July 9, Jessica Ross and Treveon Isaiah Taylor Sr. arrived at the medical center for the birth of their son, Treveon Isaiah Taylor Jr. According to the outlet, Ross&#8217;s delivery began around 8:40 p.m. However, her son&#8217;s shoulders reportedly became &#8220;stuck&#8221; during the vaginal delivery.</p>
<p>Dr. Tracey St. Julian is said to have delayed Ross&#8217;s C-section, while also not requesting additional assistance. The doctor is accused of applying &#8220;excessive force&#8221; on the baby&#8217;s neck and head as she continued her delivery efforts.</p>
<p>According to the outlet, the baby&#8217;s body and legs were delivered via c-section almost three and a half hours later. At that time, the baby&#8217;s head was delivered vaginally.</p>
<p>At this point, Ross demanded to hold her child. The baby was allegedly given to her with his head &#8220;propped on top of his body,&#8221; and his body wrapped in a blanket concealing the infant&#8217;s injuries.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;During this viewing, their baby was wrapped tightly in a blanket with his head propped on top of his body in a manner such that those viewing him could not identify that he had been decapitated,&#8221; a statement on behalf of the couple reads, as per <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/09/us/georgia-baby-death-lawsuit/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a>.</p></blockquote>
<p>Ross alleges that she and her partner did not learn of their son&#8217;s injuries until they were informed by the funeral home.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;This caused immediate, profound emotional and mental anguish for (the plaintiffs) &#8230; emotional and mental anguish that they continue to experience and most probably will experience for the rest of their lives,&#8221; the complaint reads, as per <a href="https://www.nbc15.com/2023/08/09/baby-decapitated-during-birth-georgia-hospital-lawsuit-alleges/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC 15</a>.</p></blockquote>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">More Details Regarding The Recently Filed Lawsuit</h3>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/09/us/georgia-baby-death-lawsuit/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a>, Ross and Taylor Sr. filed the lawsuit in Clayton County, Georgia on Wednesday. The couple alleges that Dr. St. Julian did not inform them of their child&#8217;s decapitation for his delivery and passing.</p>
<p>Additionally, they allege that the medical center discouraged them from opting for an autopsy for their son. Instead, the center allegedly encouraged that the infant be cremated.</p>
<p>The lawsuit also alleges that if a c-section for Ross had been opted for earlier, the infant would have had a chance of survival.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;They were so excited about the birth of their first child. Unfortunately, their dreams and hopes turned into a nightmare that was covered up by Southern Regional Medical Center,&#8221; Cory Lynch, the couple&#8217;s attorney, explained during a recent press conference, as per <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/lawsuit-accuses-georgia-doctor-decapitating-baby-delivery-102143178" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ABC News</a>.</p></blockquote>
<p>Furthermore, &#8220;several nurses&#8221; have also been named in the suit for failing to take proper protocols once the infant&#8217;s shoulders became lodged.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12391397/Georgia-mom-Jessica-Ross-baby-decapitated-birth-claims-doctor-failed-tell-says-little-boys-head-propped-body-held-time.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Mail</a>, the Southern Regional Medical Center has since offered its &#8220;heartfelt thoughts and prayers&#8221; to the couple. Additionally, the center alleges that Dr. St. Julian is not &#8220;an employee of the hospital.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;[The Southern Regional Medical Center has] taken the appropriate steps in response to this unfortunate situation.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/09/us/georgia-baby-death-lawsuit/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a> reports that the center has denied the allegations. Additionally, it adds that the couple was &#8220;not allowed to touch or hold their child.&#8221;</p>
