Ring doorbell trick or treaters go viral after 'restoring faith in humanity'

A heart-warming gesture from two young lads has "restored faith in humanity" as they are a "credit" to the region.

As trick-or-treaters braved the rain on Monday evening, two young boys wearing ski masks knocked on one home in Page Moss, but what they did next left 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.

Since sharing the camera footage online in the hopes of finding their parents, hundreds have been quick to comment on the "lovely" gesture.

ECHO reader Pauline Swirles said: "Lovely kids well done to you both, parents should be very proud" as 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 there parents see this, such a credit to the world. Wish all kids were like this."

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. ECHO reader Marie Sabel said: "Such breath of fresh air to here what a love gesture these young boys did.

"I hope their head master or head mistress 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.
