A 33-year-old US woman posed as her 15-year-old daughter to enroll at school because she wanted to be a cheerleader.
Wendy Brown, of Green Bay, Wisconsin, has been charged with identity theft after used her daughter's ID to become a student at the school.
She attended cheerleading practices and a party at the cheerleading coach's house. She was given a cheerleader locker and paid for her uniform with a check that later bounced.
Officials said the woman stopped attending school after the first day, prompting a truancy investigation that led to the discovery of the woman's true identity.
Teachers said the student appeared older but had a teenage-like demeanour.
"In school you see a lot of children who look older and dress older," said Don Penza, liaison officer. "At what point do you say, 'You're lying.'"
The woman told police she wanted to get her high school diploma and become a cheerleader because she had no childhood.
"We find it not funny at all," said Lt. Jody Crocker of the Ashwaubenon Public Safety Department.
