LOOKING FOR A CHEAP PLACE TO STAY IN NEW YORK? INSIDE THE COCKROACH-INFESTED 'HOTEL' WHERE MORE THAN 100 MEN SLEEP SIDE-BY-SIDE IN CHICKEN WIRE 'KENNELS'

Heinous: John Arkue sits in his tiny room at the Sun Bright Hotel

It’s a New York hotel offering 'cages' for just $10 a night - and you get what you pay for.  

The single rooms at Chinatown's The Sun Bright Hotel have been described as 'animal shelters', where more than 100 disadvantaged men live side by side in cockroach-infested chicken wire boxes. 

Only men are allowed in the 'kennels' on the third and fourth floors, and the rooms are just seven by five feet - smaller than a prison's solitary-confinement cell.

And at least one resident reported the body of a man was left to rot in his room for 15 days before it was removed - and the room wasn't even cleaned afterward.

Suffering: Double leg amputee Michael Fidler, 66, has lived in this room for 11 years

The allegations come from the New York Post, which sent a reporter to check out the cut-rate hotel.

'It was horrible - like an animal shelter,' a first responder recently called to the hotel told

'I picked up a suit on the wall and roaches fell out. Hundreds of them.'

More than 100 men on the floor share one bathroom with two shower stalls, four toilets and one urinal. Cockroaches, vermin and fleas infest the dilapidated building, and black mold covers most of the walls, according to the Post. 

The owners of the hotel have not responded to allegations. Managers were not available for comment to MailOnline early Monday.

The six-story building doesn't have an elevator, and most floors lack air conditioning, according to reports. 

New York Post reports the city Department of Buildings has issued the budget hotel with 46 summonses since 1988. 

It has 22 open violations for converting the second and fifth floors into a hostel and installing laundry equipment on the second floor.

Shocking: Double amputee Micheal Fidler, 66, sits in his 3rd floor cubicle. Cockroaches and trash line the rooms at Chinatown's The Sun Bright Hotel

Hellhole: A block of 32 cubicles, each about 90 by 58 inches, separated above the door frame by chicken wire

David Rodriguez, 74, has lived in his room for 16 years, paying just $310 a month for his little bed in a cockroach-infested cubicle.

'Somebody died on the other side, and he was there about 15 days,' the retired cab driver told the Post. 

'[Management] left it dirty. It smelled very bad -  a dead man!

'There’s a whole bunch of nuts around here. I don’t feel comfortable, but what am I going to do? I can’t do nothing. I can’t pay $1,000 for an apartment.'

The story about a dead man being left inside a room for more than two weeks has not been verified. 

However many of the dorm rooms which aren't occupied by long-term tenants are rented out to backpackers.

The hotel boasts on its website that rooms are 'cozy' and affordable.

'Whether you're traveling for business or pleasure, Sun Bright Hotel offers a variety of room types to ensure comfort for your needs at low prices,' the website states. 'Our rooms are clean, affordable and very cozy.'

However the promotional pictures of the rooms it has posted, which have also been uploaded to online review guide Yelp, do not paint the full picture. 

The rooms are small, but clean, with white walls and spotless toilet facilities. 

One Yelp reviewer wrote: 'The place is a total dump. Don't stay here if you don't like camping, are afraid of cockroaches, mold or mildew.' 

Another wrote: 'Prison! The second floor looks clean but if you go to other floors, you'll ask yourself what have you done to deserve this. You'll see cats, cat food, roaches, floor tiles peeling off, smell of cigarettes even though it says no smoking.'

The same hotel? This image of a hotel room on Yelp is a far cry from the reality

Misleading? These images from the review site Yelp offer a stark contrast to the scenes of squalor depicted inside the hotel by the New York Post

Disabled construction worker John Arkue has lived on the third floor for 15 years.

'They keep all the garbage all on this floor,' he told New York Post. 

'Sometimes the garbage sits here. Like on a Saturday, we don’t put the garbage out. We got roaches, we got flies, you know? Did you look in the bathroom? It’s falling down, the ceiling and stuff.'

Two months ago, the building was sold for $14.8 million to Bowery 88 LLC, which shares its address with the headquarters of clothing retailer Dr. Jays.

Mail Online contacted Dr. Jays but no one was immediately available for comment.

Prison-like: This is the third floor entrance, where men live in tiny cubicles with no air conditioning

No options: David Rodriguez, 74, moved into the Sun Bright Hotel in 1997, after he retired from cab driving

Hellhole: The Sun Bright Hotel is on Hester St on the edge of Chinatown

DESPERATE MOTHER INJECTS 14-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER WITH SPERM IN ORDER TO HAVE ANOTHER CHILD TO RAISE

Mother Forces Teenage Daughter To Get Pregnant

Via BusinessWeek reports:

A woman desperate for another child forced her 14-year-old daughter to get pregnant using syringes of donor sperm, a British judge said.In a ruling reported for the first time Monday, High Court judge Peter Jackson said the mother had behaved in “a wicked and selfish way” that almost defied belief.The judge said the woman, an American divorcee living in Britain with three adopted children, hatched the plan after she was prevented from adopting a fourth.

The scheme involved getting her oldest daughter to inseminate herself with syringes of sperm purchased over the Internet from a Denmark-based company, Cryos International.Jackson said the daughter, identified only as A, “became pregnant at the mother’s request, using donor sperm bought by the mother, with the purpose of providing a fourth child for the mother to bring up as her own.”In his ruling, the judge quoted the teenager as saying said she was shocked by the suggestion, but thought, “If I do this … maybe she will love me more.”“My mum is a very determined person and she does her best not to let anything get in her way if she wants it,” the teenager added.

The judge said the mother also made the teenager use douches of vinegar or lemon and lime juice in hopes of increasing her chances of having a girl.The judge said it was likely but not certain that the daughter soon became pregnant and suffered a miscarriage.

After six more attempts with the donor sperm, she gave birth to a baby boy in July 2011, when she was 17.But midwives at the hospital became alarmed by the odd behavior of A’s mother. Her daughter wanted to breastfeed the baby, but her mother said: “We don’t want any of that attachment thing.”The hospital alerted the authorities, and the children were taken into foster care.

The mother is now serving a five-year jail term for child cruelty.Details of the case were heard during proceedings at the family division of the High Court over the children’s future last year. They were reported for the first time Monday after several British media organizations, including the publisher of The Guardian newspaper, challenged reporting restrictions.

A court order bars identifying the family members in order to protect the children.

I WANT MY CHILD TO DO SOMETHING IMPORTANT WITH LIFE PART 1........TIPS

Children are born entitled. They are surrounded by adults who cater to their every need.

That’s fine when those things really are necessities: food, clothing, diapers and a place to get some sleep. Children grow up, though, and as they age, many come to define “needs” as an iPhone or a pair of expensive shoes. So how can parents teach their 21^st century kids to be more grateful and truly appreciate things?

    AFFIRMATION:  Sometimes one simple word of affirmation can change an entire life. So make sure your children know how much you appreciate them. And then, remind them every chance you get.

    ART. With the advent of the Internet, everyone who wants to create… can. The world just needs more people who want to…

    CHALLENGE:  Encourage your child to dream big dreams. In turn, they will accomplish more than they thought possible… and probably even more than you thought possible.

    COMPASSION/JUSTICE: Life isn’t fair. It never will be – there are just too many variables. But when a wrong has been committed or a playing field can be leveled, I want my child to be active in helping to level it.

    CONTENTMENT: The need for more is contagious. Therefore, one of the greatest gifts you can give your children is an appreciation for being content with what they have… but not with whom they are.

    CURIOSITY: Teach your children to ask questions about who, what, where, how, why, and why not. “Stop asking so many questions” are words that should never leave a parents’ mouth.

    DETERMINATION: One of the greatest determining factors in one’s success is the size of their will. How can you help grow your child’s today?

    DISCIPLINE: Children need to learn everything from the ground-up including appropriate behaviors, how to get along with others, how to get results, and how to achieve their dreams. Discipline should not be avoided or withheld. Instead, it should be consistent and positive.

    ENCOURAGEMENT:  Words are powerful. They can create or they can destroy. The simple words that you choose to speak today can offer encouragement and positive thoughts to another child. Or your words can send them further into despair. So choose them carefully.

    FAITHFULNESS TO YOUR SPOUSE. Faithfulness in marriage includes more than just our bodies. It also includes our eyes, mind, heart, and soul. Guard your sexuality daily and devote it entirely to your spouse. Your children will absolutely take notice.

    FINDING BEAUTY: Help your children find beauty in everything they see and in everyone they meet.

    GENEROSITY: Teach your children to be generous with your stuff so that they will become generous with theirs.

    HONESTY/INTEGRITY: Children who learn the value and importance of honesty at a young age have a far greater opportunity to become honest adults. And honest adults who deal truthfully with others tend to feel better about themselves, enjoy their lives more, and sleep better at night.

    HOPE: Hope is knowing and believing that things will get better and improve. It creates strength, endurance, and resolve. And in the desperately difficult times of life, it calls us to press onward.

    HUGS AND KISSES: I once heard the story of a man who told his 7-year old son that he had grown too old for kisses. I tear up every time I think of it. Know that your children are never too old to receive physical affirmation of your love for them.

    IMAGINATION. If we’ve learned anything over the past 20 years, it’s that life is changing faster and faster with every passing day. The world tomorrow looks nothing like the world today. And the people with imagination are the ones not just living it, they are creating it.

    INTENTIONALITY: I believe strongly in intentional living and intentional parenting. Slow down; consider who you are, where you are going, and how to get there. And do the same for each of your children.

    YOUR LAP: It’s the best place in the entire world for a book, story, or conversation. And it’s been right in front of you the whole time.

    LIFELONG LEARNING: A passion for learning is different from just studying to earn a grade or please teachers. It begins in the home. So read, ask questions, analyze, and expose. In other words, learn to love learning yourself.

     LOVE: but the greatest of these is love.
