Hayden was sent to the nursing home facility to recover from Coronavirus so not only was he abusing elderly patients, he was spreading Covid.
Hayden was arrested and charged shortly after the videos of him abusing elderly victims went viral.
Hayden’s father argued that his son is not a vicious person and that he’s a victim of the system.
The charges against Jaden Hayden were dropped this week after declaring him incompetent to face trial.

“He shouldn’t be in jail,” Marty Hayden said of his 22-year-old son Jaden, who has been charged with several counts, including the May 2020 beating of Norman Bledsoe in a nursing home in the West side of Detroit. .
The charges against Jaden Hayden were dismissed after declaring him incompetent.
Marty Hayden said that if his son was convicted and sent to prison, it would only worsen his mental health problems.

Marty Hayden hopes to find a lawyer to prosecute for placing his son in a nursing home, where he believes he was set to fail and Bledsoe became a victim.
“Why put him in a nursing home? Elderly people are around, ”he said.
