Abducted girl rescued by teenagers on bicycles

Two hours after she was abducted from the front yard of her apartment complex, 5-year-old Jocelyn Rojas of Pennsylvania was found safe—by two teenage boys on bicycles. One of the boys, 15-year-old Temar Boggs, is now being hailed as a hero, the Huffington Post reports.

As police and firefighters scoured the area surrounding Lancaster Township on Thursday, Temar asked a friend, Chris Garcia, to join him in the search. When Temar spotted a girl matching Jocelyn's description in the passenger seat of a man’s car in nearby Manheim Township, he and Chris gave chase to the vehicle on their bikes.

“As soon as the guy started noticing we were chasing him, he stopped at the end of the hill and let her out, and she ran to me and said that she needed her mom,” Temar told Fox 43.

The suspect remains at large, but Temar has received plenty of recognition for his act of bravery. According to Fox 43, he and Chris beat more than 100 first responders in finding Jocelyn.

“There are no words to say,” said Tracey Clay, Jocelyn’s grandmother. “I’m so grateful.”
Thanks to Temar, Jocelyn and her family can rest easy, but for Manheim Township Police Sgt. Jeff Jones, the work isn’t over.

“We’ve certainly all heard of worse stories with not-so-happy endings,” Jones said, “but this would be a much happier ending if we find the person responsible.”

This kind of stuff never ceases to amaze me because it makes me wonder when will "first responders" stop going according to protocol and actually start looking for abducted persons for real

If I abducted you and I'm in a vehicle, heck naw I ain't gonna hang around the same area I just grabbed you from! I know authority figures already feel that criminals are slacked jawed idiots for ever disobeying "the law", but believe you me, if some idiot has the balls to abduct someone in broad on daylight, you can bet they have broken the law before.

The main reason the authorities catch up with them is because they get cocky from getting away with it too many times. And as every law breaker knows, "It's only wrong if you get caught."

All the criminal has to do is watch I.D. TV. It'll give them all the basic ways the police and investigative teams act and react. These two teenagers didn't know to follow a typical protocol. They just booked up and cut cross country to check out everything. In this case, ignorance was success.
