Boggs, a McCaskey freshman who lives in Gable Park Woods, had been hanging out with a friend at nearby Lancaster Arms apartments and helping move a couch when a man came by asking if they'd seen a missing girl.
They hadn't, Boggs said, so they went to watch TV.
A short time later, his friend went outside and saw lots of police officers and people from the neighborhood looking for the girl.
Police said that the girl had been taken that afternoon from the 100 block of Jennings Drive.
Boggs and about six friends joined the search. That’s when, Boggs said, “I had the gut feeling that I was going to find the little girl.”

A friend asked Boggs to hold his bike. Boggs figured the bike would help him search for the girl.
So he and another friend, Chris Garcia, rode on area streets — Michelle Drive, St. Phillips Drive, Gable Park Road — looking for her.
That’s when a maroon car caught his eye. (He had gotten a bit ahead of Garcia.)
Police are still looking for the alleged kidnapper. Cops described him as a white man, between 50 and 70 years old, who walks with a limp. The car was described as a red or maroon-purple Chevy. The girl’s family calls Boggs a hero, but Boggs himself demurs:
Boggs, meanwhile, said he doesn’t consider himself a hero.
“I’m just a normal person who did a thing that anybody else would do,” he said. Both Boggs and Garcia are heroes for getting involved and helping to rescue the little girl. These days, it’s too easy to remain passive in the face of evil. We are fortunate that we still have young men willing to step up and act in a responsible manner to protect their communities.

Are we doing enough to stop this sort of vigilante behavior?
Now that’s a nice young man! If Trayvon had been more like that, he’d still be alive.
This young man is what Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Eric Holder and the president should be spending their time on. The black community needs to raise up people doing the right things.
where is sharpton decrying the profiling and talking of this man..
oh, he white? never mind.
“The driver looked at Boggs and Garcia, then stopped the car at Gable Park and Betz Farm Road and pushed the girl out of the car. The driver then drove off, Boggs said.”
Meanwhile the Black Racists will celebrate Trayvon Martin....while ignoring Temar Boggs.
Where did this happen? Went to hotair but still couldn’t find where. If someone knows, please put in keywords.
Went to your link. There is a Lancaster in PA,CA and TX - maybe other places. Went to contact us link. It said all phone numbers are 717. Googled 717 - it’s in PA. Finally.
Wish Jim would include a location space on submission form.
I put “lancasterpa” in keywords.
Listen to the boy’s speech. Hie is NOT authentically Black. You don’t get Jesse and Al’s attention by actin’ white.
I went to the link and backed to the home page still no state apparent then a pic popped up of a Pennsylvania state cop shoulder patch so I assumed that it is Pennsylvania.
