Anyone wanting to attend high school a SECOND time = completely insane
💯
Right?? I would never. I have nightmares about having to go back lol
exactly! @@JAlexisG221
Some people describe their high school years as the best years of their lives. Me, not so much.
That was my thought too.
HOW COULD ANYONE BELIEVE SHE WAS THIRTEEN ???
Have you seen some of these kids lately. That being said, clearly she has problems.
Maybe she was trying to do research for her job. Who knows.
Because SOCIETY IS DUMB .. Same as HOW can anyone believe a man could be a woman and a woman be a man ! 🤦🤷🤷🤦
That’s what I was thinking, that’s probably why she said she was a foster kid, the only way anyone would believe she was 13 was if she had one hard life
Well, a 16 year old and her friends did. So, i guess she can pass that test.
@@blossom30x4 Sorry but a 13 year old looks like a 13 year old. Your comment is creepy.
Finding out I’m in college again unnecessarily is a legitimate recurring nightmare for me. Literally going back to high school for “vibes” is something else. People crazy for real.
Shut up, you bigot. She wasn't "posing"...she IDENTIFIED as a high-school student. You...are EDU-PHOBIC. Age...and education...are social constructs. Anyone can be any age...at any level of education...they want, if they identify as such. Mental health has NOTHING to do with it. Now excuse me, as a 58 year old male, I think I'm having my period.
Me too 😂😮
I have that nightmare at least once a week, and they're almost exclusively where I'm about to do a test I didn't study for.
@chancepaladin my recurring anxiety dream is where I find out I actually didn't graduate and need 1 more class...MATH of some source, to graduate. Years later. Ughhhhh 😕😔🤔😵
Haha!!! Same here. What?! I never actually got credit for my stats class 🙀
*32 year old woman enrolls herself into school:* "poor woman obviously has mental issues I hope she gets the help she needs"
*32 year old man enrolls himself into school:* "there's only one reason he would do this.."
fair point i think both of these should be considered for both genders like you shouldn't be making assumptions. women can also be just as much of predators. and also you could jus be mentally ill whether you're a man or not
lol yep
My first thought upon stumbling across this story was that she was doing this for sexual reasons so I was extremely confused when it wasn't brought up in the story at all. I just didn't understand her motivation. I guess she just wanted to relive high school or something.
This was about MONEY. Listen again at 1:47. She didn't act alone and had two other Social Workers posing as foster parents. Do you know the dollar value of state benefits for fostering a child - especially one with severe emotional trauma and special needs?
This was a cash grab by someone EXTREMELY familiar with how the system works (Social Worker) and how it can be hijacked.
@@jdoedoenetYou completely missed the point 😂
I'm still trying to understand this. It says 2 other people posed as her foster parents, and one was another social worker as well. I can't comprehend what these people were trying to accomplish.
The thing is really strange but I would bet at least part of it is that they somehow expected to get money from the state to care for this "child"
Same thing I was thinking. What was the point of this scam?
I’m still trying to figure out the crime 😂so weird.
@@sbffsbrarbrr There was no scam. She has mentaI issues, they said it in the video.
@@PyroShieldsmental issues?? Though she was alright enough to graduate college and sign herself up for school 😂 such B's excuses
This is one of those crimes where it's hard to imagine the sequence of events in a person's life leading up to them even wanting to do something like this. It makes no sense.
or the people helping her to pull this off. Was it for Research on kids in school or what they are facing. Or for something more bad?
It makes pefect sense: this was about MONEY. Listen again at 1:47. She didn't act alone and had two other Social Workers posing as foster parents. Do you know the dollar value of state benefits for fostering a child - especially one with severe emotional trauma and special needs? They were all in on the take.
This was a cash grab by someone EXTREMELY familiar with how the system works (Social Worker) and how it can be hijacked.
@jdoedoenet
Ohhh, they were grifters...
This story made no sense to me at first, thanks for clearing it up.
@@jdoedoenetokay this helps clear up my confusion. I could understand a person with mental challenges doing this acting alone, but I was completely lost as to how she got a couple other ppl to do it with her. I shouldn’t have forgotten to consider a potential money angle. It may not have been a collective psychosis like I was suspecting at first, but it was still so asinine and something ain’t right with them all lol
@@meatspin. I worked in mental health and with Social Workers on a daily basis for years. There is a whole (dare I say 'criminal') subculture of people who take advantage of our social welfare / health care systems. There are massive government subsidies for people who adopt kids who have trauma/abuse histories, and many who take advantage of this system. It's sad, but true...
I agree that "something ain't right with them" - but I suspect it isn't actually mental illness. More like being greedy larcenous con artists...
Released on $5000 bond! Just imagine if this had been a man, there's no way he'd be out on bond.
Took "hello fellow kids" to it's ultimate form 😂
I remember driving myself home after high school graduation with the biggest smile on my face because I never had to go back. I can't imagine why anyone would want to..
Same here,
Absolute hell for me. ..never a day do I look back at high school
@@KNOWtheLEDGE7 same here, I hated going to high school, college was better since there was no drama
You are still looking at it from the perspective of having to be there, having to make proper grades, etc. She is going back with none of that pressure/baggage of having to be there. She can just relax and socialize. Messed up either way, but there is a difference.
maybe she wants to be the prom queen
Imagine getting bullied in school then turning around and learning she's x3 your age. This story is wild from the students perspective
And a social worker 😂 .. cherry on top
Huh?
You clearly didn't finish school to say x3
That's not what happened. 346 likes... God damn, 🎉listening comprehension🎉, people
literally the opposite happened???
Ill be crying like 0:36 if someone told me I have to go back to High School.
It breaks my heart that the girl who befriended this person was betrayed like that. I hope her heart stays open and loving
agreed
😂😂😂😂😂
What exactly was the "betrayal"? I really don't see what the big deal is. She didn't hurt anyone or even really benefit from the "scheme".
@@poiu477 if you think lying to your friends about your entire existence isn't betrayal, I feel bad for your friends
@@Ford_prefect_42 I've known people who I would describe as compulsive liars. They would often lie about really strange things that didn't really change anything or make up obvious stories or whatever. I, and others around, felt it was weird and a little silly, but I wouldn't call it a "betrayal", because at the end of the day it never changed anything tangible or made any real difference. It wasn't done for nefarious purposes or used to take anything from anyone.
If she misses school life, she should enroll in a computer skill or language class. High school isn't the only place where one can socialize in a classroom.
I mean she could go to a community college, many students there just treat them as if it's still high school just with less rules.
@@Mike__B If she has the time and can afford it, then yes. I would rather have one class about something that I am passionate about than multiple subjects that I would most likely not use or be interested in.
@@commandoslayer Like how to deal with her own mental illness?
@@deway1552 That would be going to a psychologist.
@@commandoslayer lol
How tf does anyone grown wanna go back to high school smh
I do. I want to go back so I can stop all the bad things from happening and do things that I regret not doing back then.
Looks like we found an outlier.
Only if i get free room and board.i hate bills😂
@@musicman76enator u wanna go back to your high school days not enroll in a high school an pretend to be a kid major difference that I understand
@@savageeyez1728 to be predators. she was in the school having outburst, taking advantage of children’s education for her own social experiment. she needs some rehabilitation in a psychiatric facility.
Why go back to high school posing as a student, when you can actually just go back to high school as an adult? At my high school, we had a custodian, actually head custodian, 54yo who was actively taking classes to get his diploma, and he did get it. And nobody made fun of him or criticized him for doing it, but actually respected him for doing it. How the times have changed…
14 years after leaving High school the first time (2008). Why would anyone want to go back to High School after you graduate and get out.
She's classified as a social worker which helps people issues they have in their everyday life despite her having mental health issues.
I have friends who are therapist, and they were told during schooling that they will also need therapists doing that job...it comes with the territory.
I have a couple of cousins who have been social workers for years and they are the most toxic people I know. Dysfunctional upbringing, constantly looking for loopholes to cheat the government, and one of them is actually quite narcissistic. They're in their 50s now and still get into arguments and physical fights with their siblings.
When they became social workers many years ago, professional qualifications wasn't a requirement. So they saw it as "easy money"
Have you met a female psych major? By and large they are the most unhinged people you will ever meet.
@@sensimania I'm a social worker and just like how there are bad doctors out there the same applies to any other field.
The attorney stated mental health issues but really it's behavioral issues. Considering they did this at three schools. This just stigmatizes mental health further. I wish the media would make that distinction but of course as an attorney they want to make the situation look better.
Can you imagine the people who had to have her as a social worker? 😢
She probably made sure they were eligible for every program possible.
Now imagine if this were a man, he'd be charged with statutory rape.
The biasness by the USA feminists and simps government and justice system will never stop because if it was a man who did this he was going away for a long time
If you had a daughter and you knew there was a 32 year old at her school would you prefer it be a man or a woman
If institutions were believing she was as young as 13 while in her late 20s and 30s something is monumentally wrong at both ends.
loneliness is not an excuse by the way. if she really felt lonely and wanted to socialize, she could have gone to a local community college, an adult school or something.
Yeap, no excuses they always hide behind the insane card to do whatever... but for sure the are the same people that quickly point fingers to others
That or a bar
Or go straight to my room
Well obviously not, but tbh those suggestions are not the same.
@@MYZZ56she is going to jail but looking at her mental history, she is not sane one. That is not making excuses, just telling the truth
As a social worker, I am extremely offended by her behavior. She may in fact have mental health issues, but she knew her deception was wrong as well as unethical. She needs to lose her license and any licensed social worker that helped her pull off this stunt needs to lose their license as well. She can work on becoming a better person in jail.
I’m offended also! She doesn’t represent all social workers. I don’t take my job lightly!!!!
How are you offended what did she do to you
@@southtexasobserver3306 we take the profession seriously.
I think she fucked her license by racking up those felonies
I’m not offended
I used to work in the mental health field and got out. People don’t want to hear the hard truth that way too many people who work in the field are the ones who need help themselves. I was surrounded by so called professionals who were handing out advice when they were messes themselves. There needs to be more gate keeping in this field because you are talking about vulnerable populations.
Agreed.
the moment I find out their bachelors' degree is in Psychology?? I'm OUT. !! Flags on the field.
@@user-zp7jp1vk2i , I don't believe they are ALL bad though. Some manage their mental health better than others.
Years ago, I met a man in high school who was sorry to leave because he was 21 years old. He told me that he enjoyed high school.
Many people enjoyed high school. Especially the popular kids or the ones who had many friends. They would all give everything they have as adults, just to return to that high school lifestyle
Its shocking that so many people in the comments would not want to go to the days of no responsibility/accountability. I guess this says that many in the comment section were the "unpopular" kids/victims
@@artyomarty391 Thank you so much for your comment.😂👍🏼🆙
@@artyomarty391 I don't know what's worse, missing out on the high school experience or peaking in high school and having everything go downhill after graduation
@@artyomarty391wow you must’ve had a very different experience than mine at those ages. I always had responsibilities and accountability.
@@iiCounted-op5jx I dont know either. but obviously many people resent their current and look back to their past
My dad worked in pediatrics and he said social workers were some of the most warped people he had ever met. This story doesn't do anything to change that.
Worked in a mental health department in a community clinic with social workers and yes, not the best experience of my life. Some of the worst behaviors i have witnessed was with them and not the clients. I'm sure there's good social workers out there but the more I've talked to people the more I'm finding that we've had similar experiences with them.
@@lauranoesta8924it all depends on the social worker that you’re interacting with. I became a social worker because of my quarter life crisis and a social worker went above and beyond her job description to ensure that I was okay.
I worked in child protection for 6 months and that was all I could handle. It is sad to see the state of affairs in the world and having little power to change it. Telling parents that they’re incapable of parenting when some are trying but lack the necessary skills.
It’s a tough job. I now work in mental health and addiction and trust me. You have to be strong to see people struggling and not care.
Maybe those Social workers are just burnt out and lost their whys for the job.
I was a social work major, and I left the program even though I was one semester away from graduation. Why, you may ask. It's because they are the biggest bullies you could ever meet. Never in my life have I seen women discriminate against each other, professor/ social workers having petty arguments in front of students, and bring down students with disabilities in the classroom. I legit got an email one of my professors meant to be sent to another person about how I was "confused" in her class. The final straw was being discriminated by another social worker for having bipolar disorder. I left that school and have not looked back.
@@beautifulreading5289 sorry that you experienced that, yes schools can be a “hot mess” for warped worldview and approaches to social working. Be gentle with yourself and all the best.
@beautifulreading5289 that sounds horrible but sadly not shocking!! I honestly hope you've had better experiences now that you're away from there. I do not regret leaving either.
She looks young for her age, but not 13. I wouldn't want to go back to junior high or high school. After graduating from both, I never set foot in those schools again.
She could pass for 24, but lets get real thats a stretch too.
@AllenHanPR ya I was thinking early 20s....but a teenager?? Lmfao
she should just join community college
she could pass for 16 17 18 but not 13 that insane LoL 😂😅
I've heard a lot say that as a 32yo woman, she is suffering from mental health issues, and they hope she gets help. Then add if it was a 32yo male we all know why he want contact with children.
A woman is quite capable of doing that thing too, and they have many times.
Just because a female doses somthing like this don't jump to the conclusion that that isn't what she wants.
Have her accomplices been arrested and charged yet??
Yeah those social workers are crazier than the people they claim they're helping
I was just gonna post that! You read my mind! Lol
Most social workers don't do this and are held accountable by the social work board since they are licensed professionals. The reason why some people tend to dislike social workers is because 99 percent of "crazy" people had their kids apprehended by a social worker or were referred to the psych ward by a social worker. You need to be of sound mind just to be able to treat people. But blame it on the social work profession instead of taking responsibility for your own shortcomings.
She was out there making decisions for people and their families in need of real help. 🫤
DEI hiring practices in government
Fairly common in that profession.
Hopefully the poor attention to detail and security is reprimanded for letting it happen as well. It just shows when nobody really pays attention someone can easily sneak In school
She was signed up and accepted in the school. A lot of school don’t really ask much information about the students identity because there are many refugees and illegal children that don’t have any proof of their identity so the schools won’t ask for it. So this situation can easily happen again and again.
The administrators dropped the ball. What the heck is security supposed to do? Disregard the paperwork performed by administrators and start making their own judgment calls about kids' ages? Do you really want school security walking campus doing that to students?
Parents must fill out paperwork about their address, identify, health care, vaccinations, etc. These scammers jumped through a lot of hoops.
I mean, it’s on the news because she was caught. So at least someone passed the ball correctly.
It's all played to look like someone crazyy has infiltrated our school systems and their safety net, but if we look close enough, it's a slip up showing you how deep this alll really goes into missing children.
I mean, it says she has learning disabilities but this seems extremely deliberate and calculated.
Why does she have to stay away from anyone under 18? She wasn't a sex predator, she just went to school again with teenagers.
I totally agree with you but since when everyone under 16 is a child who cannot make decisions on there own the USA government and justice system is a stupid people with stupid laws and the countries who follows there laws are stupid and really what the difference between a 17 and 18 year olds Notting this world is not a real place 😂😂😂
Where was these teachers when i was in school smh 😩
There's something fishy going on here. If she "wanted to go back to highschool" why did she enroll in so many different ones? And having someone else pose as her foster parent too? I've never been a conspiracy theorist but it's really easy to drive me into believing whatever comes out from this.
im wondering if it was supposed to be a trafficking set up…?
There's more to this for shure and being social workers
@@ecs1100that's my thoughts exactly. Grooming kids to runaway. Wonder if this is the only time they got caught.😮
Benefits scam
Ding ding ding ding. Multiple identities, 2 other social workers posing as parents. Sounds like they were trying to just get triple the benefits. @@prestonnewcomb5991
It’s literally colleges that except you at any age, why would you go back to high school pose as an underage student? That’s beyond weird and absolutely insane 😳😳😳
Right!!
I agree, but college isn't free.
@@beewalk34she already has a diploma and degree, she’s j insane
@@jwh9987 Yes I'm aware. But I was responding to the comment
to get social security benefits. did you even watch the video?
I haven't seen anyone talking about the fact that a High School just lets anyone into their school system. Shows how lazy the system is.
If she gets sent to prison it'll basically be like going back to high school
When I was in high school way back in 98, we had a 40 year old dude passing for a student. I 100% knew something was up because he was a grade lower than me but he drove a new, cherry red Camero and he had finger waves.
@@Eet_Mia The student body president and the star of track and field went on a two year armed robbery spree. They were caught because the track star shot himself in the leg and came to school wearing a diaper.

I don't remember the frauds name but you can Google Tom Curtis and Ethan Thrower.
I had resource math back in high school during '06 and I remember we had one student celebrate her 27th birthday in our class but everyone knew and that it was fine.
@@rhuulu110 lol. It's fine.😄
Not the finger waves!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
WHY ON EARTH WOULD ANYONE DO THIS, AND FOR WHAT REASONS??!!
yeah very disturbing indeed
I DON’T KNOW
Not a psychologist, but I'd take a guess that the current societal pressures are making people to revert to a time when they had less responsibilities and stress. IIRC there are similar cases in Europe/Japan
@@vvolfbelorven7084😂 so stupid that's definitely not it
Probably cuz she's lonely, but that doesn't excuse her for going to a HS pretending to be a teenager
Doesn't sound like she did anything bad; perhaps she is just still a kid inside who misses school
I'm getting "Never Been Kissed" with Drew Barrymore vibes.
This is strange. I would really like to hear why she did this. When I heard she was a social worker I thought maybe she thought this was some kind of way to get a child's eyeview of being in school or something...?
It's not the first time this year. People get lonely after high school because everyone go their separate ways.
well that's probably what they'll say in court.
I don't understand how she got away with this for more than a couple of minutes. She looks her age. I've yet to meet a woman in her 30s who can pull off looking like a teen. As young as they may try to look, women just don't age well. 😂
Money 💰 that’s my guess at the actual answer
@@Zenigundam just admit it you're attracted to underage girls and are a pedo. So gross. Their is aging as in looking old vs looking your age. No one should be looking old/aged at 30, just mature.
Wow, this is a new one for me. Every time you think you’ve heard every 🎉wacky story that can happen, someone shock you with their bizarre behavior. I hope she gets the help she needs and recovers.
👍
Exactly. Nothing surprises me anymore
Don't drive yourself to school and answers all the questions correctly.
Unfortunately this is not the first time an adult has posed as a teenager in order to attend high school again
@@KP82457r u thinking of that mom too who attended school but just for exposing school security system
Why?
what I don't understand is how she had time to do her full-time social work job and attend high school classes?!? :D
Hannah Montana eat your heart out.
School was just her side hustle.
That tells you that they pay them for doing nothing
When I graduated from high school, I just wanted to get the hell out of there, not find a way to return there.
yeah me too i run like the devil was at my heels
Maybe next time don't act like you're stressed, so people won't believe you have some sort of mental problems wherever you attend to one separate school and start to miss it
This is actually really sad. She a sad person and I really hope she gets the help she needs.
So sad 😢please pray for her wellbeing
she will get the help she needs in prison
edit: double post
@@mapl3mageshe'll get sent to a hospital
Simp
They don’t answer the most basic question. Why did she do this? Was there a reason. She’s a college grad; she was able to think, reason and conclude. What’s going on here?
Logic & reason aren't automatic especially when you're mentally ill.
I don't think you understand how mental health works... or doesn't.
Well that is a possibility but I think she was in the schools to groom students for trafficking purposes. I think she is using mental illness as a crutch. There are just too many out there who will take the money to get the kids. @@Odog78
Pedo
@@Odog78 And I guess the other two social workers helping her out on this were also mentally ill, right? This doesn't pass as an explanation.
Bet she gets SLAMMED when sentenced, whereas actual violent crime is typically brushed off by the legal system.
🤦🏼♀️ … mental health is an underserved discipline.
Maybe 40 years ago, but now it feels like it's overserved.
@@user-bm6xz6pq5z it’s simply talked about more. Finding qualified professionals is still difficult.
Actually the supervision is crazy. As a Clinical Mental Health counselor, my grad school had 3 weekly meetings of different types of supervision on top of working for a supervisor at my internship site where I did over 1200 hours. After grad school, had 2 supervision sessions a week with supervisors that I had to pay for myself. Can't bill insurances until I get my full license. I also had to do 2500 extra hours on top of extra classes for my addictions license. Whole process after my undergraduate has been about 7 years of supervision for all my licenses and specialized training. If I want to specialize in other forms, it takes longer. I would argue that the best mental health professionals never stop seeking peer support and still has a supervisor on hand they can reach out to even after they get their full license.
Literally insane. These types of people train in mental health fields all the time and it’s scary. More vetting needs to be done in the training programs.
And what would that vetting look like?
These types of people exist in every field, for them it's just a matter of keeping the crazy under wraps. She could've been a grocery store clerk and still done this. The industry can vet for education and professional competence, but no one can predict how crazy someone is until that person puts it on display.
Shut up, you bigot. She wasn't "posing"...she IDENTIFIED as a high-school student. You...are EDU-PHOBIC. Age...and education...are social constructs. Anyone can be any age...at any level of education...they want, if they identify as such. Mental health has NOTHING to do with it. Now excuse me, as a 58 year old male, I think I'm having my period.
@@tyrellanderson4722 Personality and medical history testing that is currently illegal because of "muh discriminations" laws

Hire her as a cop. She obviously knows how to go undercover
Girl that hairline ain’t no 13 yo
In some sick way I could kind of see why someone might want to do high school over, but why in the hell would you want to be a special ed student?
News update: she will be serving the rest of her sentence in detention
Hey, if she identifies as a teenager then schools should affirm that.
So wait...what was she doing there? Trying to complete her education? Investigative reporting? Trying to complete a PhD? They say she's crazy. This is odd. Crazy people don't usually get other social workers to support her with fake documentation.
There are a LOT of people trying to understand what's wrong with our school systems today. Trying to study ways to reach kids by posing as kids is probably not the best way of doing this.
This report was incomplete, to say the least. i wonder if they'd had kids getting bullied there with no action by the school so they decided to expose the system themselves.
@@jonathanchampagne7683Much easier ways to do that than enroll in school!

Do they have proof of that? For sure though, this is definitely a fear and why we don't approve of adults pretending to be kids.
@@jonathanchampagne7683A GQP nutter has entered the chat...
32 year old social worker posing as a high school student has got to be the craziest thing I've ever heard. High school is a place where students learn and somehow she got in and tricked every one of those students that she's one of them. Imagine if it was a 32 year old man posing as a high school student, and started dating one of the female underage students. He'd be put in the slammer for life.
You haven’t gotten out much then
The sad part is that a person with a mental health issue graduates as a social worker.....
the young girl who befriended her is so kind it could have gotten dangerous
And it's people like her that makes decisions in our family's life ❤
Yes, if you abandon your children... she may be making decisions... Was this a confession?
Social workers tend to be very evil and some have abducted kids. They are linked to the cabal
@@Odog78it could be personal, but I think their just describing what a social worker does in general. Also, social workers do a variety of things, not just take kids away lol
If a 32 year old man did this, he would be crucified and there would be an outrage..."he is a predator, he wanted to take advantage of kids" but since it's a 32 year old woman it's ok "poor lady, hope she gets the help she needs." LOL this society is a joke🤣
When I was 25 I looked 15.
She does look super young. It's not fair to take advantage of people. If she actually wanted education and never graduated I might understand. She was a well educated women and I'm curious to know what her motives were 🤔
I feel sorry for her. I understand how you sometimes want to make the clock reverse and feel like a naive kid again. Unfortunately, that time is gone forever and we must continue to march forwards to our inevitable deaths.
Yup, it’s all downhill from here. Best bet is to become an eccentric billionaire and do what Bryan Johnson does.
Well we all have that inner kid in us but usually we indulge in our past hobbies on our own or with our own children or grandchildren etc. Mines reading comic books, playing tabletop wargames like Advanced Squad Leader, and watching old Brit Spy-Fi/Sci Fi serials. But as for high school , I'm done with that especially since high school was just drama, I wouldn't mind going back to college for an advanced degree but no time no money
No you.
Very well put
It's better. Being out of highschool is better because freedom... unfortunately high school is where all opportunities are made so if you made no opportunity there we'll it's going to be a hard adult life.
That's crazy. What if she started dating a teenage boy? What if that boy was one of our sons? This is insane.
What if another parent starts dating her? No laws broken, that would be tight.

But she's a woman so it'd be ok apparently.....
She wasn’t hurting anyone she never should have been Arrested she should sue the school 🏫
Just so everyone knows, many people become social workers to help themselves unravel their jacked-up childhood. Same with people who become Psychologists. They want to "help others," but really that need is to fix themselves through others or to distract them from their lingering psychosis. Not all, but many!
100%% ive known so many like this!!!!
I would love it if they made a Netflix series about this real life event. I wonder if she had psychological problems and then convinced the other social workers to pose as her foster parents. OR, was there a legitimate study being done on teens and she and the other social workers were doing research undercover. OR perhaps something more sinister? In any case I would love to see the story as a documentary. Keep us informed!
Thats why they make up news stories
But WHY!? Was there some kind of monetary gain with this scheme? I just don't understand the motive.
She needs help, not prison it’s pretty obvious.
It was obvious to teachers because she said "like" only twice per sentence.
Don't forget literally.
Like, OMG literally. 🤣
and had a hairline beginning in the middle of her skull
I had an adult friend in his late 20’s that wanted to get his high school diploma the old fashioned way and go back to high school. The high school was fine having him there, no problem, I went to his prom with him, I was also in my 20’s :) This was 40 years ago so guess things have changed dramatically.
That's still really bizarre and abnormal
At least in your case neither of you had your diploma, but this lady had a graduate level degree under her belt, making this even odder of a case 🤔
That’s a bit creepy. All of it.
In my city, you cant be in H.S after 21
You get kicked out of high school at the age of 21
🙏 May Selby Hewitt get proper treatment & care & find her niche of helping others in a proper way ... Reminding us to enjoy being good person & to do good deeds with wisdom while still in Primary , Junior or Senior High Schools ...

We only can help out in Schools with Permission & Invitation by the Schools' Principle for Soecial Occasions! Human life is indeed short , many can't believed it's been 30+ or 40+ years ago or longer since they had graduated from their High Schools! 🙏 Stay Safe , Healthy & Stay on Santa Clause's Nice List Everyone! 🕯🌷🌿🌎💜🕊
This is just so awesome. I'd like to interview this woman. Why on Earth would anyone want to go back to HS?
1. If your foster child doesnt have an SSN they can easily get one assigned by DCFS
2. She had 2 people posing as foster parents and enrolled her in school to seem legit. With three different names
3. Foster kids with special needs get extra compensation by the government.
You know if she had been quiet and well-behaved, this little scam might have actually worked for her but she went too far w her lil outbursts 😂
If a man had done this he’d be in prison for life
How does a 32 year old get away with convincing people they're 13? There's no way 32 year olds look anywhere near 13.
Pure ignorance from the school staff, I would guess.
I was like 42 when I collected my bike back from school (where I had an appointment days earlier, because of my at this time teenage daughter) and the Teacher, who doesn't know me, ask me in which class I belong to. I was even looked at in disbelieve, explaining the situation.
You don't watch too many movies lol or know actors are adults acting as teens.
if she said she was a boy the teachers 100% would believe that too
I'm not going to lie, I'm a very nostalgic person and I sometimes yearn for my high school days and daydream about being back. But to actually do it is a whole other story...
I still have nightmares about being in high school classes. Just the other day, I had a nightmare I was in a liberal arts math class with the same teacher I took for precalculus. This woman is crazy for WANTING to go back to HS.
I had dreams about being in HS for more than 20 years after! Wake up and be relieved it was just a dream.
If these are the kind of people working as social workers in the US then no wonder so many child abuse cases go unnoticed and neglected in that country!
🎯💯
How did she get into the school ? Did she sign her self up ?
Replay the video it tells u
This happened in NJ recently
Using mental health as an excuse is apalling
Who are these people it’s like there living in a complete different world!
It does seem like a lot of people who go into social work or psychology are often deeply troubled people.
I would imagine it's bc they grew up in a dysfunctional family or had friends who grew up in abuse etc and they want to understand it and/or help. (Atleast I hope they want to help.)
It often starts off with damaged people having a deep interest in the psychiatry field, because they want to understand what happened to them and why they feel like they do. Many follow the notion of ''I'll help myself by helping others", so get their degrees or diplomas in social work or psychiatry.
But they're not too good at it because they haven't worked themselves out, not conquered most of their problems.
It can be a life-long trend, doing another degree, getting counselled themselves, trying another job but always in the same industry. Often a lot of failure and repeated steps are involved. It's compulsive, self-perpetrating and not good for themselves and not good for clients.
Psychology and psychiatry have deeply entwined in their college courses traps to snare and expose these people, because many decades of experience has shown they are the very types NOT wanted in the field.
But of course, many slip thru the nets and know the answers to apply to the trigger questions.
So it can be a lifetime of "the Peter Principle", the unqualified and incompetent in mid-level jobs of social work or psychiatry, doing very mediocre work, achieving very mediocre results with clients or even making their problems worse.
Shut up, you bigot. She wasn't "posing"...she IDENTIFIED as a high-school student. You...are EDU-PHOBIC. Age...and education...are social constructs. Anyone can be any age...at any level of education...they want, if they identify as such. Mental health has NOTHING to do with it. Now excuse me, as a 58 year old male, I think I'm having my period.
Perhaps, in a previous life, she was a child who died young: consequently, she finds it difficult to feel grown-up, and mentally and emotionally, she remains a young teenager (?)
Hold her accountable just like you would a man! You better
I'm 29 (just transform into the age 4 days ago) and couldn't bare to imagine re-enrolling a high school just to hang around with 16/17 year olds due to my trauma of teens that harass me for being mistaken as a college freshman out in public before (18/19 year-old) for example and wanting to relive those tragic years again! I may only been to college for a year right after graduation back in 2013 as my mother even went with me for support but really do miss it as I got along with other students and even adults near my mother's age and felt at home way more than older teens that can be mistaken as adults in underaged bodies and still have a phobia of teens to this day due to being sexually assaulted, starred at, & even mistaken as a child to them due to my short-stature and feel way less comfortable around them than adults! Heck, even when I pass by an Academy School around where I live, I try to avoid eye-contact at all times just so I wouldn't attract any type of attention to the students because of how unpredictable they can be and putting my head down as I snakel my way to the grocery store I need to walk to &/or at home! 🏡🏃🎒
I'm just relieved Shelby hasn't preyed on any of the students while she impersonated as underage because she clearly looks as young as 19 at best and wouldn't EVER mistaken her as a 13 year-old!
She definitely needs to see a professional as much as I despise that word in jail and becoming a sex offender for a short period even even though she hasn't touched any of the high school students inappropriately but to prevent being around any regions in her city where teens under 18 are present and to think cautiously of her actions. Her mental illnesses is NO PASS for the way she's acting as I'm a man whom struggles with social / generalized anxiety, clinical depression, C-PTSD, & suicidal thoughts even wouldn't act upon and yet, prefer to be around other grown men than older kids that can lie about their ages to take advantage of me as that has happened a few times in the past and still have that trauma being around adolescence.
It wouldn't be an issue if she wanted to hang around 18-20 year-olds as an example since they're newbies in college as college-aged and adult teens even but seriously don't understand why she would pull the Peter Pan Syndrome to avoid adult responsibilities.

@@Joelswinger34what's that
Hey op. Can we be friends ? I need someone to talk to
What would be her motive for doing this?
Weren’t there a couple law and order episodes that had this sort of premise?
no one ever went to jail for the iraq war or the 08 financial crisis but look at how thorough the charges are against this woman for pretending to be a student.
In my experience as a graduate-level nurse, I’ve come across many social workers with severe mental health issues. It’s often enough that they enter the field as a means of trying to help people who are at risk of suffering the same traumas they underwent. However, if the trauma involves strong neglect or sexual exploitation, all bets are off. And when I worked in mental healthcare, it was fail-proof that all of the social workers were to some degree, pretty deranged. For example, all of them believed sexual criminals could be rehabilitated and many of them were quick to latch onto a male employee as a sexual partner.
Funny you say that because I grew so much as a person from seeing this one counselor for two years before 2020, but looking back, I can tell she is a total nut outside of therapy.
I'm glad you are talking about this.
Most people don't want to see how upside down everything is.
You trolling? >_> purely anacdotal... I've known insane nurses and insane social workers. I work with them regularly. People be people... Some types of crazy are just more out there. Wonder what skeletons you got in the closet to be pointing fingers so hard...
If she were a guy, you'd say that she was a monster who should rot in prison.
I agree! I made my career as a master's level therapist and I came across some very nutty co-workers in my field. I remember thinking the same thing you pointed out above in that they picked that profession to get fixed themselves. it's sad how many people are put in positions of power that need so much help themselves. P.S. I left the profession when I was supposed to be a part of reunifying a child to her pedophilic father. I couldn't do it and left soon after. I still think about that little girl.....
There has to be a bigger picture here. As stated, she wasn't acting alone, there was another social worker was posing as her foster father and another individual as her other parent, why? And what was the reason to infiltrate schools where young minors attend? There is potentially something much more sinister to this situation that is missing.
Not everything is sexual.
@justthatgirl-ct4jo "not everything is sexual"..... the irony is I never said anything in regards to sexual inclination, but you sure thought it.... so it was sexual in your mind.
I was thinking government scam like receiving money for the "child" or the ppl posing were her very good friends. idk why they would help her go back to high-school while in her 30s
@@erickquinones1095 Yes, I did assume that's what you were getting at, because that's typically what you hear when it comes to adults and minors. I think this woman was just kooky.
Maybe to expose corrupted schools. They are schools that use roofies to they're students, I've caught teachers having a relationship with a student sexually. ND the cops was protecting that teacher. While the principal was apart of it. Brainwashing happens as well. It's disgusting AF.
South Park police, when asked to comment, said, "NICE"
This happened in Scotland in the 90s . 30 year old guy posed as a 16 and got away with it for two years . Went back to the same school and was taught by teachers he had first time round. There is a film with Alan Cummings playing the part of the guy
Mental health ?!... She had help from two other adults to orchestrate this crime... How does that make sense ?!... LMAO !!
Fr after she graduated college 😂
You couldn’t pay me enough to go back to high school 😅
The question is why did she do that?
Why would anyone want to deal with homework again? Not me.
