Uplift Hero of the Week: Temar Boggs

He was in the middle of helping an elderly neighbor move her couch when word got to him that a girl was missing and police were arriving to his apartment complex. Despite already being in the middle of a good deed, Temar Boggs felt a desire to assist in the search for the missing child. He assembled several friends, they mounted their bikes and went looking in areas where they thought a little one could wander off to.

Temar & friends locate missing girl before police crew

Their first venture out was not successful as there was no sign of the girl so the friends regrouped at the apartment complex and talked about where to go next. It was suggested that they go a little further out this time in case someone took the girl rather than her just wandering away. Their instincts proved to be solid as they pulled up on a car that was suspiciously parked in an area that they normally don't see vehicles. Temar stated in a Lancaster Online news segment, "I saw a suspicious car and I looked into the passenger seat and there was a little girl and I said 'I think that's her!'"

Though on bikes, the boys began to follow the car through winding streets of the suburb. This seemed to make the driver nervous and perhaps worried about being caught so he pulled over and let the girl out. She went running straight to Temar who picked her up and took her home. A bit scared at first when Temar was turning her over to the police, he assured the little one that these are the good guys and they are going to make sure you return to mom and dad.
