PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – The search for a missing 8-year-old ended in the best possible way on Tuesday afternoon, with the young boy found safe and sound.

“I’m very relieved to have found my son, and that he was in good hands,” said Sahjir Bullock’s mother, Marsheila Price.

Price was reunited with her son inside East Detectives, and she spoke with reporters as they walked out together.

“To get that phone call, it was amazing,” said Price.

“I’m glad to be home with my family!” said Bullock, who added that he didn’t know his mother was worried and looking for him.

The boy sent his family into a panic when he didn’t come home from football practice on Monday night.

Around 5:30 p.m., He took the Septa El train by himself to the Margaret Orthodox Stop, near where the Pop Warner team called the Frankford Chargers practice. He was supposed to meet his 15-year-old brother after practice around 8 p.m., but his brother said he never showed up.

All night and this morning, the family and police searched for him. Luckily, more than 15 hours later, he was located with one of his football buddies. The friend’s mother, Erica Gardner, brought him safely back to the station.

“He’s a kid that plays with my kid. At the time, he was out too late, and I just took him home with me,” said Gardner. “He’s fine, his mom is a good friend of me. But I just wanted to take that burden off her chest.”

There was no phone call to the worried family, but Price said it’s between the boys.

“They had a misunderstanding,” said Price, “the two brothers.”

Last Wednesday night, instead of catching up with other group members or being hypnotized by Scarlet layout like usual, I sat on Florence Street, in front of my apartment, fruitlessly trying to start my car. I knew I would stay up most of the night finishing the newspaper, and had to leave for work first thing in the morning, so it was now or never.

I was parked nose first in the driveway, so jumper cables wouldn’t reach, but when recharging the battery with a long extension cord proved useless, my friend Joe and I decided to put the car in neutral and roll it onto the street to position it for a jump. Turns out there is a small dip at the bottom of the driveway apron that we couldn’t see in the dark. My car ended up halfway across Florence Street, Joe pushing with all his might from the back, and me trying to steer, push, and look for traffic, and not get my foot run over all at the same time. In the middle of this catastrophe, a shiny new BMW came barreling down the street at about 50 mph, which we all know is absurdly fast for the bumpy, congested, pedestrian trap that is Florence Street. He either did not notice Joe in the road behind my car or did not care, because the car didn’t slow down at all and Joe literally had to leap out of the way to avoid being hit, and the driver came dangerously close to colliding with my vehicle. And as he sped away, going straight through the stop sign on the corner of Florence and Maywood, he screamed out the window “it’s not my f*cking fault your crappy car died.”

Not a minute later a true gentleman drove by, saw our dilemma, and jumped out of his car to help. He wished us luck and told us he could relate to the situation.

I’m pretty sure both of these men are Clarkies; the latter told us that he was, and I recognize the former (whom I now hate) from around campus, but they really represent two opposite breeds of human. Clark definitely has a culture of helping out fellow humans, which we pride ourselves on, but there is a facet of affluence and entitlement as well. This is to be expected at any expensive private university, but it really stings when it smacks you in the face like that. Yes, I have a crappy Suzuki and you have a fancy new BMW. But something tells me that your work study money didn’t pay for all of it, so please get off your pedestal and join those of us that give our classmates a push when they need it. And don’t forget – even BMWs breakdown, so I suggest keeping karma on your side.
