A heart-warming gesture from two young lads on Halloween has restored a resident's faith in humanity. People who have seen the footage agree they are a "credit" to their parents.
As reported by the Liverpool Echo, as trick-or-treaters braved the rain on Monday evening, two young boys wearing ski masks knocked on one home in Page Moss, Merseyside, but what they did next has left some people in tears. Caught on Ring doorbell footage, the two boys noticed an empty sweet bowl on a chair near the front door.
The boy was captured picking up the bowl and saying "somebody has taken them [the sweets]" before putting it back down. He then immediately opens his plastic New Look bag full of sweets and starts placing some of his own into the empty bowl.
Jodie Laithy, who lives at the address, said when she looked back at her camera later that evening, she saw the "cutest thing ever". The footage has since been shared thousands of times with their story being read up and down the country.
Since sharing the camera footage online in the hope of finding their parents, hundreds have been quick to comment on the "lovely" gesture.
One reader, Pauline Swirles, said: "Lovely kids well done to you both, parents should be very proud". Jeanette Hughes added: "Well done lads. A credit to yourselves and your families." Kelly Stevenson said: "This is too cute, what lovely young boys, I hope their parents see this, such a credit to the world. Wish all kids were like this."
Meanwhile, Angela Webber said: "Aww what lovely kids I hope more are like this!! the world should be full of this kind of thinking!! Well done lads I’m sure your parents will be so proud." Norma Blore echoed: "Aww that’s lovely actually brought a tear to my eye! Parents should definitely be proud of their lads."
The footage has been viewed and liked many times as some people call for commendation for their kindness. Another reader, Marie Sabel, said: "Such breath of fresh air to hear what a love gesture these young boys did.
"I hope their headmaster or headmistress gets to hear about this and gives them massive recommendation of their kindness, can we try find out who they are and the school they attend, definitely need a school Assembly clap and well done.
"Come on folks of Liverpool jump on it to find out who they are. Well done boys I’d be proud to call you my sons, never change, carry on just as you both are."
Belinda Sullivan added: "Restores your faith in humanity, well done to those boys." Sheila Garrett said: "Bless them they put back faith in life both of them."
