It's his own baby.It's a story that goes far beyond questions about Ogles' inflated resume. It's a story that stems from a personal tragedy — the stillborn death of a child whose photo Ogles sometimes posts on his political social media — and a GoFundMe that allowed Ogles to rake in tens of thousands of dollars for what was supposed to be a children's burial garden.
[...]
It promised a "burial garden" that would "create a place for Lincoln's new play friends," "a life-size statue of Jesus watching over the children," along with "benches for families to sit while surrounded by flowers."
[...]
Yet, what makes it a story is the fact that there is no burial garden, no one knows where their donations went, and Ogles refuses to say what he did with the money.

Looks like he had $25,000 to help with those medical bills.GoFundMe confirms Ogles got the money.

[T]wo days after the loss of the child in 2014, Ogles himself used a photo of his stillborn baby for a GoFundMe for something he called "Lincoln's Place."
It implored: "Help us help other families. No family should have to bury their child; no child should be alone."
[...]
NewsChannel 5 Investigates did speak with one donor, who said he asked Ogles directly what he did with the money. When he couldn't get a straight answer, he insisted on getting his money back and he got it.
Other donors, however, say they were never given that option.
[...]
Ogles did speak about the loss of the child at one political event last summer, describing how it was difficult to get insurance to pay the medical bills.
He somehow blamed Obamacare, claiming it prevented his health insurance and his wife's health insurance from talking to each other and working out who would pay.
Everything is awful with this, including the fact that he named his baby Lincoln. Does he still have a wife?
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
UPDATE :
They're always the victim.
