But stories of bravery and kindness deserve to be remembered as well.
Temar Boggs was a 15-year-old boy who got on his bicycle to help search for a missing child. Alongside his friend, he noticed a suspicious car, followed it, and helped bring attention to the little girl inside.
His actions contributed to a frightened five-year-old being reunited with her family.
He did not need a uniform or a badge to make a difference. He simply needed to care enough to help.
Perhaps that is the most important lesson of all: the world needs more people who are willing to notice when someone is in trouble and do what they safely can to help.
Because sometimes, a bicycle, a brave decision, and a refusal to look away can become part of a story that a family will never forget.
And sometimes, the hero a child needs is simply a teenager who decides that helping is worth the effort. đź’™
