As bona fide germaphobes, we just can’t imagine how people can live in such filth. Even if you’re poor, it doesn’t cost any money to take out the trash or bust out a rag once in a while. You owe it to your kids.

A strong odor still wafted down the Rockville Centre street yesterday where a toddler and a half-dozen animals were found in an unsafe, trash-strewn house.

The boy, 1, and the pets were removed after police went to 40 South Marion Place Friday in response to a complaint of two men fighting. Police saw dangerous conditions in and around the house and the boy in a stroller in the living room, said Rockville Centre village administrator Frank Quigley.

“There were dead mice on the front lawn” and trash in the house, Quigley said. “There were all kinds of electrical violations … clothing piled up everywhere and a tremendously powerful stench.”
