If you saw a Mom struggling to buy her son a gift, what would you do?

That was the exact question posed to the unknowing participants on a popular television show titled, “What Would You Do?”

The hidden camera television show places folks in awkward ethical situations to test what they would do given the circumstances.

In this particular situation, a mother and her son were shopping at a toy store. The little boy received all A’s on his report card and Mom promised him any toy in the entire store. However, when they reached the register, it turned out that Mom did not have the money to buy her son his favorite toy.

Bear in mind, these folks weren’t actually mother and son, they were paid actors who were carrying the scenario for the sake of good television. It’s surprising what actually happened when the cameras started rolling and the actors were not the only ones on camera.

Take a look at the surprising video below and ask yourself the question too. If you found yourself in this situation, what would you do?
