1st Post!

So I read this article on the internet. It was kind of creepy. It was about this mom who stole her 15-year-old daughter's identity to go back to high school and become a cheerleader. She said she went because she wanted to get a high school degree and because she never got to be a cheerleader in high school. She got caught because the check for her uniform bounced. I think this lady is messed up! I mean, why would she steal her daughter's identity? And on my list, the two reasons she gave didn't count. But I have to give her credit, I mean, to make the cheerleading team at like 33 is pretty impressive. But maybe she made it because there was a small amount of people (i.e. everybody gets on the team).(150) The daughter was currently attending a high school in Nevada where she was living with her dad. Obviously, the daughter had no idea that her mom was posing as herself as a cheerleader. The mother, Wendy Brown, has had problems with identity theft in the past, and could face 6 years in prison and a fine of $10,000 if she's convicted. I also think it's strange how the mother had the daughter at 18, which probably contributed to the mom's "lack of childhood" that drove her to do this. Also, I found this article on comcast.net, it was a headline of the news feed.
