As the story goes, someone from the neighbourhood called the cops on a group of children who were playing football in the middle of the road lined by houses. Deputies with the Shaker Heights Police Department reached the place and then did something which is now winning people over. They joined the kids to play a game of football.

Wendy B, the mother of the kids, took to Instagram to share videos of the cops and the children. It won’t be wrong to say that the videos are the sweetest things you’ll watch on the Internet today. Chances are that the clips will leave you with a wide smile on your face.

“Thank you for letting the kids be kids!” Wendy B wrote and shared a video and an image about 6 days ago. She also detailed the incident in the caption and explained how someone called cops on her kids because they were playing football. However, when the cops came to inspect the situation, they did the best thing possible and joined the kids.

Both the videos saw a tremendous outpouring of love. People couldn’t stop gushing over the actions of the police. There were many who wrote how the videos made them happy.

“Thank you for sharing and letting all of us share in your joy! Love it!” wrote an Instagram user.

“As a physical education teacher, seeing the kids active brings me joy, as a mom seeing kids be kids set my soul on fire. I wish we saw more children playing football in the streets! As kids, my cousins and I played whatever sport you could think of out in the street. When we saw a car coming, we moved up on to the boulevard and waited for them to pass simple as that!” wrote another while expressing many feelings in one comment.

“I love this so much,” wrote a third and we do too.
