Boy Stands Up For Woman Who Gets Rudely Cat Called

Julia Price recently shared her story of an unexpected hero who came to her defense after a stranger called her a “bitch”. Price says that she was out jogging when a “well-dressed man” began catcalling her. She initially ignored him, but when he verbally abused her, she stopped and was ready to stand up for herself. That’s when a little boy walking with his family jumped to her defense.

Here’s how Julia describes what happened:

“I was on my usual running path when I heard an older man yelling loudly enough for me to hear through my headphones. “Sexy lady, hey hey hey sexy lady!” He kept screaming it and I decided to just ignore him and keep running.

“This ignoring seemed to piss him off so he lashed out and said “eff you, dumb B****!” Now let’s keep in mind he was well-dressed and appeared to be on his lunch break from an office job.

“That was my trigger point. The B word. I ripped off my headphones prepared to stand up for myself when this little boy who was walking alongside his mother and little sister in a stroller looked at the guy and said, “Hey. That is not nice to say to her and she didn’t like you yelling at her. You shouldn’t do that because she is a nice girl and I don’t let anyone say mean things to people. She’s a girl like my sister and I will protect her.”

“The man was immediately embarrassed and started gathering his lunch to leave. I asked the mother if I could hug the little boy (his name is James) and I told him how grateful I was for him. He just shrugged and said “Well I just wanted to make sure your heart was okay.”

“According to his mother, this is a typical day in the life of James. Thank you so much to the mothers and fathers who are raising the next generation to be brave and courageous, and to be little earth angels for all. I am so touched.”

After her post went viral, Price shared her thoughts on what she says is one of the “most moving moments of my life”. She thinks James is a symbol of hope. “I think that there’s a part of him that we all have in ourselves – that compassion and courage to stand up for others fearlessly, no matter what that looks like,” she says. “I think we can look to James as an inspiration the next time we have an opportunity to be the brave one and help someone else.”

Yesterday I shared one of the most moving moments of my life, having no idea that James was actually a symbol of hope…

I’m glad Julia shared her story, it certainly inspires hope in the future generation. Bravo, James. And Bravo to James’ parents too.
