Finally, a little positivity in the news world!
Jocelyn, a 5-year-old girl, was abducted by a middle-aged man who lured her into his van with ice cream. The Pennsylvania town of Lancaster sped into action, and just two hours after she was taken, 15-year-old Temar Boggs and his friend Chris Garcia chased the vehicle down on their bikes.
Boggs and Garcia did not know the family at all, they just decided to join in the search party. Boggs told Lancaster online:
“I had the gut feeling that I was going to find the little girl.”
Thankfully, he followed his instincts.
Temar said the car caught his eye as it suspiciously swerved in and out of side streets, seemingly trying to avoid getting noticed by a police vehicle in the area.
The boy and his friend gave chase on their bikes, and quickly caught up with the vehicle.
Looking inside they saw a little girl and an older man behind the wheel. The man looked back at Temar and Chris before driving a short distance and pushing Jocelyn out of the car.
“She runs to my arms and said, ‘I need to see my mommy,'” he said.
Temar carried her on his bicycle and successfully reunited her with her relieved family.
Unfortunately, the kidnapper is still at large.
Despite being hailed a hero, Boggs remains humble, “I’m just a normal person who did a thing that anybody else would do.”
And thank goodness for that.
