Doorbell footage showing young boys' good deed on Halloween leaves people 'in tears'

A homeowner has shared footage from their doorbell camera from Halloween night that has left people ‘in tears.’

Jodie Laithy took to social media to commend two young boys who called to her home trick-or-treating while she was out and made a heartwarming decision.

The short clips show the young lads arriving at the door, only to find the bucket of sweets that was left out was empty - leaving nothing for the children who would arrive after them.

They can be seen approaching Jodie's door and ringing the bell and after a few moments of waiting, the boys notice that the pumpkin bowl by the entrance was left empty.

One of the youngsters can then be seen picking up the bowl and showing it to the camera, before saying, "somebody has taken them [the sweets]" before placing it back down on the chair it was on.

Immediately, he then opens his plastic bag full of sweets, as the other lad stares at the bowl in confusion.

One of the boys then starts generously placing his own collection of sweets into the unfilled bowl, before the other starts rummaging in his backpack and pulling out treats too.

When they’ve filled the bowl, they turn to the Ring doorbell camera and wave before saying "Happy Halloween."

Jodie took to social media to share the clip in the hopes that the young boys' parents would see the video, and know just "how amazing their children are."

Speaking about the commendable act, Jodie said: "These kids' actions were so cute. I hope their parents see it and are proud of them.

"We left a bowl of sweets out for the kids while we were out, and because it was empty they put some of their own sweets in it. I didn’t expect that from two young lads, amazing they are."

She went on to add: "And their little wave and 'happy Halloween' was the cutest thing ever."

Since Jodie posted the clip, it has been shared hundreds of times online with many people commenting below it to praise the pair.

One woman said that it, "made her cry."

While another person wrote: "Oh I hope their mums see this and feel so proud! This is the best, what a gorgeous pair of boys."

And a third said: "Awww this made me cry."
