Precious Cornner-Jones, an Indiana State Police officer and a mother of three, was at a school rally at Indianapolis Public School 88 when she saw a little boy with an incredibly bad case of Monday blues.

The little boy had become so upset that he literally threw himself to the ground, and when Cornner-Jones saw it, she made the sudden decision to just get down on his level and lay next to him so she could talk with him and wipe his tears.

She posted about the moment on Facebook in a post that has since gone viral and has received over 2,000 reactions as of Tuesday:

While supporting my Pastor Preston T Adams III and some other great men at school 88 yesterday with the High Five Rally this happened. This little fella was having a rough morning and fell out on the floor. I saw his mother step back and look. She stated this is how he is expressing himself lately. I decided to get on his level and talk to him. He started to cry so I wiped his tears and told him it will be ok. As an adult sometimes all we want is one person to stop, get on our level and maybe wipe our tears. These children are entitled to bad days just as us, so give them that moment to bring it together. Get on someone’s level today and make them smile!! Spread PEACE and LOVE you might be that person that gives them hope!

While Cornner-Jones never did find out why this little boy was so upset, she said that his mother thanked her and gave her a hug.

“It wasn’t a cop moment,” she told ABC News. “It was a mother moment.”
