Hero Teen Temar Boggs Rescues Abducted Girl
"Temar Boggs, 15, is being hailed as a hero in his Lancaster Township, Pennsylvania home, after he rescued a five-year-old girl from her abductor.
Boggs was hanging with friends Thursday when they were approached by a man who asked them if they had seen Jocelyn Rojas, the little girl who had gone missing that day. The teen and his friend, Chris Garcia, decided to help look for the girl and set off on their bikes. As they searched for the missing girl, a maroon car caught the attention of Temar Boggs. Police officers were at the scene and gathered in the street outside the apartment when Rojas lived. Boggs noticed the maroon car approach the scene and then turn around, after which, it began to travel erratically up and down nearby side streets. Boggs decided to investigate and set off after the suspicious car. He could see Jocelyn Rojas in the back of the car and he also got a look at the driver, an older white man.
The man driving the car clearly became aware of the two teen boys following him on their bikes, as he stopped the car and allowed Rojas to get out. After a moment, Rojas ran up to Boggs and told him that she needed her mom. Boggs and Garcia then took the girl to police officers.
The suspect disappeared at that time but was arrested Friday. Police attributed his arrest in part to the description provided to them by the teen boys and by the abducted girl herself. " . . .
