'Unloved and abandoned': Homeless Brooklyn man sues his parents BERNARD Bey lives in Brooklyn. He's 32 years old and he's homeless. And he's suing his parents for $200,000 because he claims they improperly cared for him as a child. Mr Bey says his folks, Vickie and Bernard Manley, raised him in a poor home and failed to show him proper affection, the New York Post reports. He hopes the huge damages claim against them will help him and his family buy two pizza franchises. "Our whole family is really poor, and my father doesn't care about the situation," Mr Bey said. I feel unloved and abandoned. Mr Bey claims his father beat him, took drugs and bullied him - referring to him as a "bastard" child. His mother says her son just needs to grow up. I live in the projects (housing commission). You want to sue me? What's next, you coming to shoot up my door?" the mother said sadly. He's 32 years old. That speaks for itself. Welcome to America. Everyone in America has the same opportunity. Don't blame the parents at this point. The choice is yours. You're an adult. Mr Bey reportedly wrote the lawsuit claim at a homeless shelter in Brooklyn.
