Jocelyn Rojas was snatched from her grandmother’s front yard in Lancaster Township on Thursday afternoon, sending police and K-9 units on a frantic, door-to-door search across the southeastern Pennsylvania hamlet.
Temar Boggs and Chris Garcia were helping a friend move a couch when cops stopped by to say the little girl was missing, Lancaster Online reported.
“We got all of our friends to go look for her,” Boggs, 15, told the news site. “We made our own little search party.”
Boggs, Garcia and a handful of others took off on their bikes and searched some woods and a nearby creek before spotting a maroon car with a white-haired man and a little girl inside, the site said.
Boggs said he and Garcia went after the car. After making a few turns in the neighborhood, the man opened the door and pushed the little girl out of the car.

Temar Boggs, a freshman at Lancaster's McCaskey High School, described to the Lancaster Intelligencer Journal what happened as he and a friend, Chris Garcia, pursued an unknown man who allegedly had abducted 5-year-old Jocelyn Rojas after promising to buy her ice cream.
Boggs said he was helping an elderly woman move a couch when someone came to ask if he'd seen Rojas, who had been abducted that afternoon. After helping look for Rojas on foot, Boggs and Garcia decided to continue the search on bicycles.
"I saw this suspicious car. I looked into the passenger seat and I saw this little girl, and I said, 'I think that's her,'" Boggs recounted, explaining that he and Garcia followed the car for 15 minutes before the man became "scared," pushed Rojas out and drove off.

where he's getting a hug from the girl's grandmother.
Saving a child's life is one of the greatest acts one can ever undertake. And this young man and his friends saved this little girl's life with their gumption, quick wits, and bravery.
AND the perp is behind bars, thanks to these young heroes.
I can only imagine how proud their parents must be!
