Au adoptat o „fetiță” de 12 ani. După 14 luni au descoperit că era o femeie de 38 de ani

A Brazilian family cared for a girl they believed to be 12 for 14 months, only to discover she was a 37-year-old woman impersonating a child. Amanda Maria Souza de Oliveira used various props to maintain her ruse and was eventually arrested. She was sentenced for fraud and identity theft, claiming her actions stemmed from a need for affection rather than financial gain. Investigators revealed she had previously posed as a child in other communities, disappearing when suspicions arose. A family member's online search led to her exposure, prompting police intervention. A psychiatric evaluation is being requested in her trial.
