Two parents have been arrested after their 5-year-old son was found living in deplorable conditions on Kingsbridge Avenue.

According to a criminal complaint, Wilfred and Charlotte Lewis are charged with endangering the welfare of a child and failed excised control of a minor.

A deliveryman notified police of the child's living conditions. Police say the apartment had feces on the walls, maggots, vermin and hundreds of flies.

Both parents are city workers and have three other children. All of the couple's children were removed from the apartment and are now in the custody of the New York City Administration for Children's Services.

Neighbors in the area say they are stunned that this had been going on in their community.
