Video of six-year-old boy raising the alarm after mum's collapse viewed over a million times

A six-year-old boy's been praised for raising the alarm after his mum fainted and he flagged down help and the evidence went viral.

Mum-of-three Liz Crooks collapsed while at home with her children at the weekend.

Her son Aiden ran outside to alert a delivery driver who rang an ambulance.

The episode was captured on the family's doorbell camera and shared online and has now been viewed over a million times.

26-year-old Liz says she's very thankful to her son:

"I didn't even realise that the ring doorbell had caught it until the next morning.

"I was just scrolling through footage and realised and obviously we were just guessing what he had done while I was out so it was lovely to be able to see what he had done as well."

The mum-of-three who has health issues says if her son had not been there, she dreads to think what might have happened.

She also praised how 'calm and polite' he was under the circumstances.

Liz told us she is so proud of Aiden:

"For him to be so polite and so calm about it I couldn't believe it, I thought to myself if that ever did happen they would be quite upset but no he was so calm and I'm very, very proud."

Liz has now set up a fundraising page for a panic alarm and a gift to reward the driver who came to her aid.

She told us the family is hoping this doesn't happen again in future:

"We've been wanting something for the house for a while because I would take seizures and stuff.

"Normally I get a warning with seizures but with the possible starting to faint all the time now, that's when we came up with the idea of a panic button.

"We are in contact with the driver, we now know his name is Brien and he is a gentleman.

"Even when I came around he was very respectful of your home, he wasn't in your personal space and I couldn't have asked for a better guy to be in here and help.

"It would be nice to be able to have something to give him."
