Just shy of three months old, Jayden Roland is set to undergo brain surgery Thursday.

Police say his father, 17 year-old Marcus Bass admitted to shaking Jayden, then throwing him down a flight of stairs. It allegedly happened during an overnight visit.

According to the Jayden’s mother, Kalli Rolland, Bass had just come off house arrest, and he was about to begin court-ordered parenting classes. However, the lessons would come too late. Bass will now be charged as an adult in the case.
