BRIDGEPORT, Conn. – Police say a 5-year-old boy brought 50 packets of heroin to school for show and tell, and his stepfather has been arrested.

The student went to kindergarten Monday with his stepfather's jacket and pulled out the drugs in 10 small plastic bags when it came time for his presentation to the class, Bridgeport police told the Connecticut Post. The teacher grabbed the bags away from the boy, and the principal called police.

The boy's stepfather, Santos Roman, 35, was arrested after arriving at the school.

Roman was searching the school for his stepson when he saw the jacket in an empty classroom, grabbed it and ran out of the school, police spokesman Keith Bryant told the newspaper. He said police, who had already seized the drugs, then took Roman into custody.

Roman was detained on $100,000 bail on risk of injury to a minor and drug charges. It's not clear if Roman has a lawyer.

The boy was put in state custody until other relatives could be located.

The drugs are worth about $500 on the street, police said.

This is disgusting. Thankfully the little boy did not taste the drug or give it out to class mates.

The only positive in this case is the boy being removed from the home. This is the only way he will have a chance at a future as staying in that environment will inevitably lead to him being involved in drugs.

show and tell?

when the step father gets out of jail or prison, i hope he never finds the child. that kids life is more endangered by the step fathers retaliation than by the drug itself.
