contents We propose a novel method for measuring the charge radii of charged stable hadrons, with which the first measurement of the charge radii of the $Σ^+$ and the $Ξ^-$ is foreseen. The method explores the facts that the Dalitz decay $ψ(2S) \to Y\bar{Y}e^+e^-$ contains the hyperon form factors and the lowest measurable four-momentum transfer squared can be as low as $\sim 4m_e^2= 1.05\times10^{-6}\,{\rm GeV^2}$ in the time-like region. We identify a kinematic region where the hyperon form factors are essential and propose a method for subtracting the background from the data. It is estimated that the hyperon charge radii can be measured to a precision of about {0.2~fm} with the BES\Rom{3} experiment and one order of magnitude better at the future Super $τ$-Charm Facility. Moreover, the same method can be used to measure the charge radius of the proton, which provides an independent cross-check on the extraction of proton radius from elastic $ep$ scattering or leptonic hydrogen spectroscopy.
