A toddler spent the night of his second birthday in a car after his father forgot the boy was strapped in the back seat, police said.
Adonis Ribott was found about nine hours later on Sunday. He was treated for dehydration and heat exhaustion. His father, Danny Ribot, 32, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child.
Police said the father told them he remembered taking the boy to his birthday party in Paterson on Saturday and waking up in his Clifton home on Sunday. Ribot called police after he couldn't remember where he'd left his son.
Police believed the father had parked the car at an auto body shop and walked about a half-mile home.
The toddler's mother will care for her son for the time being.
