Six children were found running naked on a New Jersey street on Wednesday, after their mother left them alone and hungry at their Jersey City apartment.
The children were rescued by worried teenagers passing by, who bathed and fed them and waited for the mother to return. She never did – so they called police.
Francine Davis, 40, faces six counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
Nilaja Wyatt, 17, said she intervened after her friend Aaliyah Glover said her mother almost ran over one of the kids.
She told MyFoxNy.com: ‘They were running up and down the road- no clothes on.’
Aaliyah Glover said: ‘We saw a little boy – he ran in front of our car so my mother had to swerve her car.’
