A Little Boy Stood Up For A Woman Being Harassed On The Street In The Best Way Ever

It shouldn’t have to be said, but women deserve the right to go about their daily lives without having to worry about being harassed.

Clothes, activities or events shouldn’t have an impact on what people deem appropriate to say – and it’s the equal responsibility of men and women to promote a level of respect amongst the sexes.

On Wednesday morning this week, Julia Price was out running when she started getting catcalled.

The man started by shouting out to her “hey sexy lady” but soon turned nasty labelling her a ‘b*tch’ when she didn’t respond.

Julia was ready to confront the man and point out his ignorance when she was interrupted.

A little boy called James was walking with his mother when he witnessed the entire play of events.

Posting to her Facebook, Julia explained:

‘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.’
