Amber Wright, a Utah mother, faced criticism after a video of her hugging her 16-year-old son, Brix, went viral. In the video, Brix picked up his mother while she straddled his waist, and some deemed it “inappropriately affectionate.” Amber explained that the hug was a brief, emotional moment shared after Brix’s high school football game, dedicated to his late father, who died by suicide on April 4, 2021.
