We shared this story with you guys back in 2020, and since then, there have been some updates.

We're going to share those details at the end of the episode, so make sure to stick around.

So something you always hear from parents is that they would do absolutely anything for their kids. But what does

that really even mean? For most people, it simply means that you would put your child's well-being and

happiness above your own, even if that means you had to suffer so that they would be better off.

In this week's episode, we're talking about a South Texas mom who took her role as protector to the next level, and the end result was the death of an innocent teenage boy.

The story takes place in Brownsville, Texas, and before we get into what happened in the case, we're going to tell you a little about Brownsville in this week's segment of We Googled the city.

Brownsville, Texas is located on the western Gulf Coast in southern Texas,

and as of the 2017 census, has a population of around 183,000 residents.

The city motto for Brownsville is, on the border by the sea, which really sounds more like

directions and less like a motto, if you ask me. I feel like maybe one day

as actress Ella Walker, who was recently starred in Wonder Woman 1984. She also starred in the movie,

Fast and Furious nine.

Cannot believe there were nine movies. Can you believe there's nine of those? I mean, I can.

Like too fast, too furious, fast and furious, or I don't even know what they did. I feel like Fast and furious, like, as parents, we kind of screwed this up because I feel like that would have been a great, like, Christmas movie where it's just parents, like, wrapping gifts the night before as good as possible.

That's like a total fast and furious moment.

Brownsville hosts the annual sombrero festival and offers its residents an opportunity to eat delicious Mexican and Tex-Mex food, as well as join in a jalapeno eating contest.

No word on whether or not this is sponsored by Thumbs or if you're just given a business card for the local GI doctor at the end.
