A mum has praised a security guard for stepping in to help a distressed boy who'd lost his parents' money.
Jayde Bond was in the Asda Wythenshawe Superstore on Wednesday evening when she noticed the teenage boy walking around upset.
When she asked if he was OK, he told her he'd lost £10 of his parents' money.
She told the boy, aged around 14 or 15, to check with customer services and another woman urged him to ask security.
As Jayde was looking to see what money she had for the boy, the Civic Centre store's security guard had already handed the lad £10.
Sharing the incident on Facebook, mum-of-three Jayde said: "I’ve just been in Asda civic and there was a young boy walking round crying, I asked if he was okay and he said he had lost £10 of his parents' money and he couldn’t find it, I asked if he had checked at customer services and another lady suggested the security, who I think asked him to check with customer services again.
"He was so upset. I was quickly trying to figure out my money to see if I could help, but before I could figure out anything the lovely male security guard (older guy with a bald head) had followed him and replaced the money.
"I love that there are still so many good people around. Asda, the security guard on shift at your Wythenshawe store is an amazing asset to your store."
Hundreds of people reacted to Jayde's post offering their own praise.
While a few suggested it might be a scam, Jayde told the Manchester Evening News it seemed completely genuine.
"He was sobbing, he was on his own, his tears were very real and I felt he was very genuine," said the 34-year-old.
Explaining why she decided to share the post, she said: "People are always quick to report the bad that happens in Wythenshawe, it’s nice to hear of good things happening within your community.
"The security guard didn’t think twice and he changed that young man's evening. I felt that his generosity was something that deserved to be acknowledged and applauded."
