Filed by Max the Cryptid Reporter

A 37-year-old woman in Brazil lived with a foster family for over a year after convincing them she was 12. Amanda Maria Souza de Oliveira used a high-pitched voice and claimed she'd been forced to take hormones to look older. She's now been convicted of fraud and false identity. Her lawyer says she had been homeless for 20 years and this was how she survived.   submitted by   /u/njdotcom [link]   [comments]
