A New Jersey woman was jailed after her six children, some of whom were naked, were found abandoned and roaming the streets.

Francine Davis, 40, turned herself in to authorities on Wednesday. She faces child endangerment charges.

The children, who ranged in age from 2 to 14 years old, were saved when two downstairs neighbors, Aaliyah Glover, 16, and Nilaja Wyatt, 17, noticed the kids wandering the streets in Jersey City on Tuesday afternoon.

Three of the children were unclothed, and a toddler was almost hit by a car, according to the Jersey Journal.

The teens then broke into Davis' apartment and found her youngest child alone and crying. Glover and Wyatt called the police before bathing and feeding them.

Glover said the children said they hadn't eaten in days.

"They didn't know how to eat with forks," Glover told the Journal.

Police said the children were left in the care of the oldest child, who is reportedly autistic and unable to care for her siblings.

Witnesses told WABC that Davis eventually returned to that apartment Wednesday at 4 a.m.

The kids are now in temporary foster care, and  Davis remains behind bars on a $50,000 bond.

A major East Harlem cocaine kingpin is a wannabe "Scarface," cops say.

Ceferino (Papo) Perez was so obsessed with Al Pacino's portrayal of violent drug boss Tony Montana in the hit 1983 movie that he superimposed his face over the actor's in a movie poster - and kept it on his bed stand.

"He's very proud of what he's doing, obviously, and he's quite arrogant and narcissistic," NYPD Inspector Lori Pollock said when asked why Perez photo shopped the picture.

Cops seized the photo, "pounds and pounds" of diamond-incrusted bling and mountains of cash from his Yonkers apartment and elsewhere.

"This is his business, this is what he's been doing his entire life," the cop said.

Al Pacino in the same scene from the film "Scarface" that busted drug kingpin Ceferino (Papo) Perez doctored with his own face.

Authorities say that for 25 years Perez has operated a well-oiled $650,000-a-year cocaine delivery service on Manhattan's East side and a $1.1 million-a-year wholesale business.

Prosecutors invoked the 2009 "drug kingpin" statute against Perez, 45, who is being held on Rikers Island. The statute, used against "major drug traffickers," carries a sentence of 25-to-life.

The 15-month probe took off after several suspects, some in jail, offered up enough evidence to get court-ordered wiretaps.

Cops zeroed in on Perez and two other accused drug lords, Nelson Rejab, 43, and German (Mouse) Torres, 37, who also were busted on the top charge.

"This \[investigation\] brought down an entire, notorious drug operation, whose kingpin was so well-insulated that for years he was virtually untouchable," Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance told reporters.

Vance said Perez's business accounted for one-third of all the cocaine supply in East Harlem. He said the gang's delivery service operated like a busy dry cleaner or pizza parlor - serving up to 100 customers a day.

Perez's wife, Elsie Detres-Perez, also was arrested.

The Obama-haters' mindless enmity

 

A perpetually fact-challenged writer from Silver Spring is asserting that Obama's re-election would be a disaster ("Obama's re-election in 2012 would be a disaster," June 9).

I got the same sort of mindless screed against President Obama from friends in a chain email last week. One of my challenges to these sort of folks is, who they would suggest as an alternative?

Mitt Romney, whose health insurance plan in Massachusetts is basically Obamacare? And who wanted to go it alone invading Libya without NATO or the African Union — which would mean the U.S. pays for a third war when we can't afford the other two?

The thrice-married Rudolph Giuliani or Newt Gingrich? Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachman (who is against public transit because it is "European")?

Both women's appeal seems limited to high-testosterone, low-information conservatives.

I've never seen such a bunch of losers vying for the most important political office on the planet. Do any of your rightist readers seriously believe that any of these candidates wouldn't be toast debating President Obama?

I am far from an optimist or an ardent Obama supporter. But the only thing that looks likely to derail President Obama's re-election at this point is the unemployment rate.

Maybe if enough Obama-haters stopped working for six months to create a statistical anomaly, they might get one of their goons in.

There are certainly enough of them around to do so.

Obama re-election in 2012 would be a disaster

8:45 AM EDT, June 9, 2011

 

President Obama is bragging he will raise $1 billion for his reelection campaign in 2012. Here are just some of the reasons Mr. Obama should not be reelected.

While Americans struggle to survive in this bleak economy, President Obama is deliberately bringing the economy to its knees. His actions have driven up gas prices, and he is supporting amnesty for millions of illegal Immigrants.

He is trying to force health care on us against our needs and created a huge stimulus plan that so far has failed.

He is supporting a government takeover of private industry and is trying to punish businesses that create jobs. He stuffed the courts with liberal judges and socialist Ideologues, and he is trying to create new gun control measures. He also wants to take over the Internet and conservative talk radio.

Given all the damage Mr. Obama has inflicted on Americans the last two years, his reelection would be a disaster.
