SnapGlow.TV: Modern Gems Galore! Someday, an entire chapter might be devoted to Dino Vicente in the yet-to-be-written "Really Obvious Things Parents Should Never, Ever Do."
According to police, Vicente, 31, drove from Coopersburg, Pa., to Kensington to buy drugs on Saturday.
He had a companion: His 6-year-old stepson.
The trip went according to plan. "He left the kid in the car, went to an unknown location and got high," an investigator said.
Then everything went to pot. About 4:30 a.m., Vicente called the boy's mother to report that he couldn't remember where he had parked his car, the investigator said.
With no other choice, he flagged down cops on the 3400 block of Collins Street to report the lost boy and car, police said.
After a two-hour search, police found Vicente's stepson, apparently unharmed, sitting inside the car on the 2000 block of Clearfield Street.
Vicente, of Main Street in Coopersburg, was charged with recklessly endangering another person and endangering the welfare of a child.
Police said the boy was taken to St. Christopher's Hospital for Children for observation, then released.
