Francine Davis, 30, was jailed after she left her six children home alone.

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.
