Frank Roder and his wife taught their 5-year-old son Aiden how to open the car door himself, but the lesson caused problems last Thursday. Aidan hopped out of the family Jeep in Rahway River Park, just a few blocks from the family's Union County home in Winfield. But Aiden didn't wait for his father to park and ran for the steep embankment. Frank panicked. He thought he put the car into park before leaping to save his son. But instead, the Jeep rolled down the embankment and into the Rahway River.

But then Frank received two tickets from county police. One was for failing to set the brake, and the other was for not providing an insurance card to police. Roder says he plans to fight the summonses in court.

NJ.com users are discussing the tickets and whether or not the police should have issued them.
