Hayden now resides in a psychiatric hospital in the Kalamazoo area where he cannot come and go.
Marty Hayden said if his son had been convicted and sent to prison, it would have only worsened his mental health issues.
"So the system is going to fail him again. He's not going to be rehabilitated," Marty Hayden told 7 Action News Tuesday, adding that because of his son's mental health issues, he cannot understand the gravity of his actions.
Marty Hayden is hoping to find a lawyer to hold those responsible for placing his son in the nursing home, where he believes he was set up to fail and Bledsoe to become a victim.
"Why should you put him in a nursing home? All around elderly people," he said.

Jadon Hayden was in a group home in Washtenaw County when he called his father to say he was hearing voices and thought people were out to kill him.
"He was in crisis mode," Marty Hayden said about his son who had a known history of assaultive behavior.
In early May 2020, Jadon Hayden called 911 so that he could be sent to a hospital for treatment. His father said it was at the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor where Jadon was then diagnosed with COVID-19. He said that's when the 20-year-old who had dreams of becoming a boxer was sent to the nursing home to recover.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and state health officials have been criticized for allowing nursing homes to accept those recovering from COVID-19 for continued care. And nursing homes have been criticized as being motivated by money to participate in being a COVID-19 hub.
"They dropped the ball. Why would they put my my child in a nursing home," said Marty Hayden, adding that everyone involved in making the decision to send his son to the nursing home should have seen that he had assaultive behavior in his record as well as other issues stemming from his schizophrenia.
"They should have known," said Jadon Hayden's attorney Brian Berry. "I think the facility had an idea of who Jadon was and what type of treatment he needed. I think they knew, or had a history, that he was schizophrenic and it should have been handled differently."
Berry said while the charges were dismissed without prejudice, he thinks it's unlikely the case will be refiled.
"Jadon's condition is not going to change very much," he said. "Unfortunately, both the victim in this case and the defendant were both in put in a bad situation."

Seems to me that a young guy suffering from violent schizophrenia, who had sought help early, who was living in a group home under care for his genuine mental illness... seems to me that guy was let down by the people who were entrusted with his safety and well-being.
This is one of the outcomes of the incompetent Dem Gov Gretchen Whitmer's policy of increasing the COVID deaths as much as they could by sending as many positive cases into nursing homes as possible.
"But it was all just an accident, we didn't know that elderly people were more vulnerable to COVID than other people. It's not our fault!", said all the Dem governors where this exact policy of sending COVID patients into nursing homes was enacted.
Evil, pure evil. I think this poor, sick, young man was also a victim of their evil as well as that poor Veteran who suffered needlessly.
Just sad all round and the real people responsible will never be held accountable.
There is no justice. This has to change. He should be at the very least be confined to home-ankle monitor if incompetent. If the father was so concerned about his “child”, why didn’t he take him in?
So a Democrat can get away with elder abuse and a Republican is jailed for protesting on January 6. Unbelievable.
Truly unbelievable!
The family of the veteran should be filing a FAT civil lawsuit yesterday!
Just another dindu
I didn’t know of this story.
Maybe his son SHOULD be victimized by those IN “the System”. Beating an elderly VET? The Vet served his country for people like THIS?
Poor Vet. I hope he recovered.
It seems to me that the system, or the people working in the system, failed that guy.
Yep, after a quick search...

Not to mention that they all turned down Trumps hospital ships that where available .I think one was removed after only 12 patients where using it .
Too bad there were no young vets around. That hand would be unable to hold any cash.

If the elderly veteran has sons or grandsons, I wouldn't live to comfortably if I were Mr Hayden.
It's time to wise up. There is more than one way to solve problems like this dumb bastard.
Good deal. Maybe someone will bash his fucking skull in while he's shopping for groceries one day. Keep us posted.
Nothing but welfare check stubs and syphilis puss would leak out.
I read a comment on gab that this veteran died 2 months later. He should be charged with murder.
Hopefully his father.
Good, so he'll be thrown in an institution, right? Right?
This video makes me sick to my stomach. I hope this guy gets what’s coming to him. “Mentally ill” or not, fuck this guy.

He was teased mercilessly for having that stupid name.
And that elderly vet died just two months later… sure it was just natural causes.. disgraceful.
..... and today's most punchable face belongs to.....
Sorry, still and forever belongs to Justin Castro...
Sue the family in civil court.
Gross
I thought he died?????????????????
