Virginia records show Saylor Hayes’ mother faced charges tied to a different child
New Virginia records show the February arrest of Saylor Hayes’ mother involved allegations tied to a different male minor, not Saylor. Meanwhile, Geordyn and John Hayes face South Carolina charges of unlawfully placing a child at risk and abandoning a child in connection with Saylor’s death; they were arrested in Tennessee and waived extradition to SC. Saylor, a severely nonverbal autistic 5-year-old, wandered from a Virginia rental and was found dead near a waterway; investigations noted the Project Lifesaver device but it was not with Saylor at the time of disappearance.
