When Julia Price was out for a run, she encountered a man who started to spew derogatory statements her way. ‘Cat calling’ her and even calling her a B**ch.

Just as Julia was at her breaking point with the stranger, a little boy who was walking past the situation with his mom and sister stood up for Julia.

Here is what happened.

Price explains:

“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.”
