having to fight rats to eat? dang
if they are those buff rats you are going to starve.
Feces-stained walls, heaps of garbage and swarms of rats are the squalid conditions two Bronx parents allegedly raised their four children in. ?You had to do everything you could to not throw up,? a police source said of the putrid Kingsbridge Avenue apartment where the couple?s 5-year-old son was found alone amongst the filth Friday.
The crying tot was rescued by a horrified FedEx deliveryman who came by to get a signature on a package. Once he got a glimpse of the repulsive pad where Charlotte Lewis, 48, and husband Wilfred Lewis, 59, lived, he ran to get the nearest authorities, police sources said.
The mom, a nurse at Montefiore Medical Center, was arrested at work, while the dad, an adjunct professor at TCI College of Technology and an MTA worker, surrendered to the 50th Precinct station house, sources said.
The family?s other children ? two girls, 12 and 13, and a 15-year-old deaf boy ? were in school at the time.
