Tamica Lincoln, Johnson's guardian took in Johnson because Johnson claimed she had no where else to go. Johnson told Lincoln her father was abusive and passed away when her mother died.
Lincoln soon became suspicious of Johnson age for reasons that haven't been specified, and reported her to the police.
Johnson was arrested on $500 bail. All of her teachers and fellow students have claimed to be stunned.
My take on this is that anyone would believe a sob story.
The Daily News reported she gave a false birthday and used a slightly different name. She does look very young as well that probably made this scheme easier to pull off, but what kind of school is this? Don't you need proper documentation to enroll?
Besides posing and failing to identify herself to police, she hasn't done anything else against the law. Apparently the faculty and students were deeply burdened by this, but not in the way you might think. Lincoln said they were crying and "her best friend just couldn't believe it."
I remember reading this story a little while back, it is a weird situation, but she didn't really do anything that was really wrong. She did create a false identity and use false information, but she didn't really harm anyone. I am sure she had her own motives and reasons for doing this, but I do agree that I don't know how she got away with this if you do need proper documentation to enroll into a school.
