BRIDGEPORT, Conn. - Police say a five-year-old Connecticut boy brought 50 packets of heroin to school for show and tell, and his stepfather has been arrested.
Bridgeport police tell the Connecticut Post that 35-year-old Santos Roman went to the Barnum School on Monday to retrieve the drugs and found police waiting for him.
He was detained on $100,000 bail on risk of injury to a minor and drug charges.
Police say the boy wore Roman's jacket to school Monday.
When it came time for his show-and-tell presentation, the kindergartner displayed bags of heroin. The teacher confiscated the drugs and told the principal, who called police.
The boy was put in state custody until other relatives could be located.

I never had much of a positive opinion on Bridgeport CT, as I have seen some pretty bad parts ...but this one takes the cake. unreal.

I work in the substance abuse field and I am terrified with what my kids may be exposed to in middle school.

Al, this sort of stuff happen in what's consider good neighborhood as well (though not this extreme with regard to the young age).

I highly suggest any parents to educate themselves along with their kids in dealing with this sort of stuff. There are very good resources available. One need to be pro-active with these sort of social issues.

Here is a site I recommend for any parents.

I don't think anything surprises me anymore with what goes on at home or in schools. Kind of makes you want to build an underground bunker in some secluded spot.
