    This 9-yr-old watched his friends vomit when they arrived at day camp at the Jackie Robinson NYCHA Center. “The smell makes me feel bad. I don’t want my camp to stink.” The ceiling was filled with decomposing rats, and oozing maggots http://4.nbcny.com/w8UELJY pic.twitter.com/WQ1fSiLzrV

        The center director first complained about rats and maggots raining from the ceiling last yr. She says NYCHA management was slow to respond. She tells the News 4 I-Team she wrote a letter to @NYCMayor pleading for help but never got a response. @NYCSpeakerCoJo @LynnePattonHUDpic.twitter.com/2bjaEQ0fmx

        NYCHA sent an exterminator yesterday morning & said they would send them back again later in the day, after I saw a rat run across the floor while interviewing one of the campers. Center is scheduled to reopen on Wednesday. @NYCMayor @NYCSpeakerCoJo @LynnePattonHUDpic.twitter.com/pFpryP07Lt

        So sad for the kids and their parents. As a parent, I could imagine how I’d feel if I had my 9 year old at a place with those conditions. Can I write to someone? How can we help? I hope they weren’t being deprioritized intentionally.

        If Mayor DeBlasio can't take care of kids in one City, how can he take care of an entire Country?
