Dad Arrested After Leaving Son in Car

PASSAIC, N.J. A father was arrested Sunday after leaving his toddler trapped in his car overnight in Passaic, New Jersey. The child spent nine hours alone.

Scratch marks on the glass inside the car where little Adonis Ribott was trapped for nine hours are evidence the toddler panicked as he waited to be rescued.

His father, Danny Ribott, woke up in his bed this morning, but his two-year-old son and his car were nowhere to be found.

"He didn't know where he was at,” said Rudy Ribott, the toddler’s uncle. “He didn't know where his son was at."

"He don't remember," said Agustina Ribott, the child’s Grandmother. Possibly because “he was drinking beer."

Danny Ribott was celebrating his son's second birthday. Family members say he drank so much he parked blocks away from the house and forgot Adonis in the car.

"Unfortunately one drink too much," said Rudy Ribott. The child’s mother who preferred not to be named felt it was "one too many."

Nine hours later the toddler's other grandparents joined the search and they found the Lexus in a nearby parking lot with Adonis trapped inside with nothing but potato chips to keep him alive.

"They stop at the red light and that's when they spotted the car," said Agustina Ribott.

A footprint on the outside of the car window was visible where someone clearly tried to break the passenger window with his or her foot. Also in the upper left corner some impact marks were seen where someone tried to use something else to shatter the passenger window.

Passaic Police were about to break the glass when the father showed up with the keys. The toddler was taken to St. Joseph's hospital where he was treated for dehydration and heat exhaustion.

His father was taken to jail for endangering the welfare of a child.

"Maybe one too many [drinks], said Rudy Ribott. “Mother's Day, holidays and everything, things happen."

When asked if his brother might have a drinking problem and needed help, Ribott said simply “No.”

The mother of the child, felt differently.

"Well after this I think so," she said.

________________________________
This statement makes me so angry. Sounds like someone makes a lot of excuses for her son. And the brother doesn't think the father has a drinking problem. WAKE UP PEOPLE!

THINGS HAPPEN....W T F....I hope they also charge this guy with DWI.

THINGS HAPPEN...do they have any idea what could have happened to this boy. They could she finger marks on the inside window from him trying to get out. That breaks my heart.

And from what they said on the news he had custody of the boy. If he's the better of the 2 parents...that is pretty scary!

It does sound like they were trying to make excuses for him.

So in addition to leaving his child in the car...he also DROVE the car, w/ his child in it...DRUNKChat Icon

Some people should not be allowed to have children!

What's amazing is how his own mother had a smile on her face when the news was at her house...as if this was an "ordinary thing". I think it was DISGUSTING how she made excuses for him and said "the baby is ok". How the F*** does she know how he's feeling? He spent what was left of his 2nd birthday trapped in a car because his father who is obviously an idiot, decided to DRIVE home drunk and forgot about him!!!! Makes you wonder how the hell he got custody in the first place...Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I saw this on the news last night too and I was thinking the same thing. They were so "whatever" about the whole thing. It infuriated me! And they let this man leave in that condition with the child . I can't believe some people.

Re: Dad Arrested After Leaving Son in Car

It upsets me that this little boy was left in the car, the father was drunk and the little boy could have died. With everyone making excuses, I'd take the kid away from that entire family!!!!! Nobody in that family deserves that little boy. He was left for 9 hours? ***, didn't anyone care enough to look for him before that? Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I'd like him to sit in a car for 9 hours...

What is amazing is that no one else wondered where this kid was for 9 hours? These parents are stupid.

Re: Dad Arrested After Leaving Son in Car

THe fact that they family doesn't see the alcoholism is probably why the father has never gotten treatment. So horribly sad, and I'm so upset for that poor child! Chat Icon

I cannot believe he survived the night without being abducted or worse! I hope this is a giant wake up call for that father and I SERIOUSLY hope the rest of the family will take better care of this child than the father did. Chat Icon
