Naked and Hungry Abandoned Children Found Running through New Jersey Streets – Mother Arrested

Several children were spotted running around a Jersey City street on Wednesday. They were naked and hungry and their mother was nowhere in sight. Two teenage girls came to the rescue.

“They were running up and down the road- no clothes on,” said Nilaja Wyatt, 17. She decided to take control of the situation after her friend Aaliyah Glover said her mother almost ran over one of the kids.

“We saw a little boy — he ran in front of our car so my mother had to swerve her car,” Aaliyah Glover said.

The teens gathered the six children and brought them inside. That’s when they found out the kids’ 2-year-old brother was in the upstairs apartment all by himself. The door was locked, so they broke in.

“He was crying,” Wyatt said. “He had a snotty nose, everything, crying standing by the door.”

They said there was no food in the apartment.

“They were hungry,” Glover said. “We asked them did they eat, he said he didn’t eat in two days.”

So the teens fed and bathed the children and waited for their mom, who was out with a boyfriend, to come home. She never did, so they called the cops.

Police Chief Tom Comey said Francine Davis, 40, had left the children in the care of their oldest sibling, a 14-year-old autistic child. He said Davis had nothing to say when she turned herself in.

“You left your children in the care of somebody who wasn’t emotionally or mentally capable,” Comey said. “What can you say? There’s nothing you can say that can ease that.”

Now these teens are being called heroes.

“I felt like if I was in their situation in their shoes, I would want someone to help me,” Glover said.

Davis is facing six counts of endangering the welfare of a child. The children are now in foster care.

Hot Woman – Soaring Temperatures Cause Woman to Walk Streets of NYC Topless

With soaring temperatures and high humidity, New Yorkers have had a tough time keeping cool over the last week.

Topless Bowery Woman’

But for one woman, the rising mercury proved too much after she was pictured walking the sweltering streets bare breasted before apparently being fined by NYPD cops.

Nicknamed ‘Topless Bowery Woman’ after the street where she was first spotted, the novel approach to keeping cool has won her an army of on-line fans who tracked her whereabouts in the city throughout Monday.

Soon after the first picture appeared on Tuesday morning, word of the woman quickly spread around the internet, with sightings or her naked jaunt posted by excited bloggers.

She was first spotted on the Bowery by Matt Kosoy walking ‘briskly’ with a handbag over her shoulder.

Moments later Olivia Knoepfel posted a picture and tweeted: ‘did i just see a topless girl on bowery?

Carolina Ramirez later tweeted: ‘Saw her maybe around 230pm near central park on 5th and 69th St’.

But the bold woman didn’t get far before she was stopped by police and apparently issued with a fine.

But as several bloggers pointed out, it is legal for women to walk topless on the streets of New York.

In 1992, Ramona Santorelli and Mary Lou Schloss and five other women successfully challenged their arrest for violating a law that forbade them showing ‘that portion of the breast which is below the top of the areola.’

Arguing they were being discriminated against, New York Court of Appeals court ruled that the law was ‘discriminatory on its face since it defines ‘private or intimate parts’ of a woman’s but not a man’s body as including a specific part of the breast.’

Speaking to The Village Voice, NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Public Information Paul Browne said: ‘The state’s highest court established long ago that women have the same right as men to appear topless in public.

‘Absent a link to some commercial enterprise or promotion, the woman’s lack of certain attire in this instance does not appear to be a police matter.’

Photographer Lays Herself Bare In Nude Poses On The Streets Of NYC

Photographers are often said to bare their souls through their pictures. But Parisian photographer Erica Simone has taken this to the next level by literally laying herself bare – she has photographed herself completely naked on the streets of New York.

The 25-year-old has turned doing daily routines in the city to works of art simply by removing her clothes. And Miss Simone made the daring decision to step out from behind the camera and go au naturel in a series of self-portraits taken in and around the Big Apple.

Speaking to MailOnline she said: ‘At first it was like, “Can I really do this?” I was into the idea, but I didn’t totally have the [nerve] to do it – I’m not totally an exhibitionist. But I managed to do it on my first day of shooting in the West Village and I didn’t even get arrested. I think that was just a combination of good timing and luck, and it is not as if I just spent the whole day walking around naked. I was fully clothed until I was ready to take the shot.’

‘It’s not about sex. It’s crazy that it’s illegal to be naked. The whole process was really liberating and it made me feel freer and more comfortable in my own skin and not be ashamed of my body.’

Erica wasn’t sure if she could go through with getting naked herself but managed to get five usable shots in her first day at the West Village

Once Erica got the idea for the exhibit, she decided to step out from behind the camera and do a number of self-portraits in the nude, sometimes wearing only a variety of accessories, performing mundane activities

The 20 shots are part of Simone’s new exhibit which opens next month at the Dash Gallery in Tribeca. She said she wanted to shoot people naked in the street doing regular things, ‘not especially posing, or being naked, but doing whatever’

In the pictures, she rides the subway, checks out library books and shovels the snow on the sidewalk outside her apartment – all in the nude.

The 20 shots are part of Simone’s new exhibit Nue York: Self-Portraits of a Bare Urban Citizen, which opens next month at the Dash Gallery in Tribeca.

Miss Simone said the inspiration for the exhibition came to her during Fashion Week two years ago.

She said: ‘I was sitting around thinking about fashion and what would we be if we were naked and what if we didn’t have fashion to show who we were, our status, how much money we had, all these things.

‘Then I got the photographic idea of shooting people naked in the street, but just doing regular things, not especially posing, or being naked, but doing whatever.’
