Lyric Laboy was just 15-months-old when workers at the East River Family Center found her huddled under a bed on July 25 near the body of her mom, Shelbi Westlake.
A toddler was trapped alone with her mother’s corpse for five days inside a city homeless shelter, her father contends in horrifying court papers.
Lyric, “covered in human feces” and badly dehydrated, was rushed to the hospital, according to a Manhattan Supreme Court petition filed by her dad, Quraan Laboy, 31, who plans to sue the city and the Department of Homeless Services for $5 million in damages.The incident is under investigation, the agency said, adding the shelter is now required to conduct same-night wellness checks for any resident who hasn’t signed the nightly roster.
Westlake and her daughter shared an apartment-like unit at the shelter at 325 East 104th St. in Manhattan, said Harris. The couple were separated, and the mom and baby had spent about three or four months there.
