29-year-old woman arrested after posing as student, enrolling at New Jersey high school: Police
Students and parents were left feeling uneasy after a 29-year-old woman was arrested for enrolling as a high school student. Michelle Charlesworth has the story.A woman was arrested for allegedly posing as a student at a New Jersey high school, and students are left feeling unsettled after she was able to attend classes for almost a week before officials caught on.
Police say 29-year-old Hyejeong Shin enrolled at New Brunswick High School using a fake birth certificate and attended as a student for four days before she was arrested. Shin was charged with providing a false government document and has since been barred from entering the school, but parents and students are still feeling uneasy. "Last week supposedly the administrators let in a 29-year-old," one student said. "So basically everybody was scared. Some people gave their personal information to that lady.""This old woman came to the school she was trying to get kids to link," another student said. "It makes a lot of students feel insecure and I get it." New Brunswick Public Schools Superintendent Aubrey Johnson released a statement that said, "state law prohibits a student being prevented from attending school based on lack of documentation." The superintendent's office goes on to say that there is a provisional 30-day period and that officials caught on to Shin within that time frame.Copyright © 2023 WPVI-TV. All Rights Reserved.
