Maybe I'm missing something here, but how exactly did charges get dropped?
And Jaden Hayden? That sounds more like an irredeemably white Utah Mormon name to me. Adopted by a white family, maybe?
One reason we didn't put my father in a nursing home, and stayed by his bedside (or nearby) night and day, waking at night to care for him and sleeping when we could, was that we feared abuse (not necessarily racial, though I do confess that thought was in the back of my mind) and neglect, and did not want to expose him to that possibility. I am thankful that I was able to spend the last night of his life in the adjacent bedroom, and was able to bathe and care for him in his last hours (which we did not know were going to be his last hours). You can't get that kind of care in a nursing home.
The last time I was ever with my father in this life, I was roundly condemning a priest who left the priesthood to marry, and later left the Church and became a Protestant minister. I used fairly piquant language that I won't repeat here --- suffice it to say that it involved the priest's motivations --- and I later felt bad about my father having to hear such comments, but it was true, and it wasn't the kind of thing my father hadn't heard from me a hundred times before. And he would have shared my sentiments entirely. He was neither politically correct nor tolerant of priestly shenanigans, he had some choice words himself from time to time.
