Frightened boy asks cashier to pretend to be his mother after being followed by stranger
A 10-year-old boy escaped a woman who was stalking him on his walk home from school by visiting a shop and asking its teenage cashier to pretend to be his mother.
Footage shows Sammy Green ducking into Dani Bee Funky in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, on 11 November, as a woman stands outside.
The fourth-grader whispered to cashier Hannah Daniels, asking her to act like his mother.
“Really scary, but he handled it so well... I’m so proud of him,” Sammy’s father Samuel Green said.
The woman is homeless and being referred to mental health servies, police said.
