What she thought was a child afflicted with dwarfism was, in fact, a changeling from the eldritch realms of the courts of the fey.

That story is just bizarre. If the parents were trying to run a scam so they could ditch a troubled kid they sure fooled a lot of other people.

I read this and I have no idea what the gently caress. Is the person in question a child or an adult? Did it definitely say it and I misread it?

Opinions differ. Adoptive parents, psychologist, doctor who did bone density test, and courts say adult. Police affidavit (which claims further bone density tests, and that adoptive father gave them a full confession) says child.

It’s such a bizarre case but it really reads like the police are being power abusers like usual and loving people over because they don’t want to admit they’re wrong, just in an extra weird way this time

Someone is committing brazen fraud here and, yeah, my money is on the police. If the police weren’t invested in the case they would have just said “it’s a civil matter” and hosed off.

If that is really a 22 yr old posing as a child, then she is really not very bright. I mean, whats the end game here? You scam some free meals and whatnot for a while.

It has happened where an adult pretends to be a teenager. It turns out they endured abuse which has them trying to relive what their teen years could've been without the abuse as a coping mechanism. With this case, there's still too many questions like why the previous adoptive parents were giving her up and why are there different results from the bone density tests. It should make the eventual true crime novel on this an interesting read.

I'm no expert but could it be that conditions that affect how limbs grow can affect bone density? Maybe one test accounted for that and the other didn't.

I'm not an expert either. It could possibly be something genetic, could be what labs the tests were done at, could even be with what time's passed that what tests get done changed. Looking at her pictures, I honestly can't tell since the angles make it difficult for me.

No tweets for this video yet. It's about a local barber who opens shop after bars close because why the hell not? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kD9PagO6tNY "Ventura barber is making it work before the crack of dawn"

Well the mother did claim she tried to kill her, maybe she wanted to inherit whatever they've got, seems as good a motive as any with something this crazy to begin with.

Yeah if the mom wasn't lying she would have gone to the cops immediately. But, she's lying and wants to get rid of a kid that she adopted because the kid is just too much. The doctor's notes are obviously fake, on top of everything else. Hope her son gets taken away too.

Currently in the unnerving thread, there has been some excellent posts explaining the situation better in the reality that she was probably a few years older than the orphanage thought and other good points towards the adoptive mother being a supermom nutbag, so if you want a better read on it, check that thread out from the most recent posts.
