Young boy stops traffic to perform heart-warming act of kindness

This little boys act of kindness will bring a tear to your eye. 

Maurice Adams Jr was driving home from a high school graduation with his mum and sister when they noticed an elderly lady with a walker attempting to cross the road. 

The 8-year-old asked his mother could he get out of the car, she pulled over and he hopped out. While assisting the lady up the stairs a passerby caught the entire thing on camera.

His mother Contricia Hill told local media she didn't know anyone was filming the moment, but seeing her son's act of kindness go viral made her very proud.

"It's touching. It's very touching," she said. "[It just shows] respect and raising your kids right goes a long way."

While they were not able to locate the lady, she had a hug an a message for Maurice at the top of the stair. 

"She told him that he's special," Hill said.

We're loving his selflessness and willingness to help a stranger in need. 

What a little cutie!
