Mom Who Impersonated 13-Year-Old Daughter at School Arrested

A 30-year-old woman was arrested after she impersonated her 13-year-old daughter at school. Casey Garcia donned a yellow Marvel hoodie and dyed her hair darker in order to look more like her daughter, a student in 7th grade. Using her daughter’s student ID number, she went to school. Authorities arrested Garcia two days after she posted video of herself at the school. She was charged with suspicion of criminal trespassing, tampering with government records, and an unrelated traffic violation. #InsideEdition

She went to school to prove a point, and she came back and proved her point.

[magicalminty]

In other words, she's being charged with embarrassing the school board.

[amppht]

as a highschool students. can confirm. it’s ridiculously easy to enter and exit the school at any time without being stopped/ caught.

[xenophile]

It actually kind of blows my mind that no one clocked a 30-year-old woman sitting in a classroom full of 12-year-olds

[backgroundcharacter]

She proved her point. The school should really be ashamed of themselves.

[satinderjit]

She did make a point regarding school security.

[charadreemur]

She literally said hello to the principal and other faculty members but didn’t get caught until the end of the day. This just shows how easily a more deadly threat could get into the building. It won’t always just be a parent trying to test the security system of a school.

"We need better security at our schools" is a great message in itself, but i think the more important question is "what is making our schools unsafe in the first place?" Because it sure as heck isnt people in their 30s dressing up as their kids.

[kaslingovender]

Well, she’s not wrong about school security and she just proved it too 🥱

[chocolatehersheykisss]

The fact that they couldn’t realize a 30 year old was impersonating her own daughter...
A literal muderer can come in and they wouldn’t notice

[dhernandez]

As a former combat vet and military police. I'm gonna let you all in on a little secret. There is no amount of security you can set in place that will guarantee safety. There will always be a flaw or exploit in the system that someone will eventually find. If you really want to stop it, then stop it from where it's crucial...at home with your kids. Which means (and I understand it might be offensive to some parents) you're going to have to actually take some responsibility and check your kids' activities.

[DashonnaWhite-hblo]

The fact that she went through the whole day with out no one knowing this proves anyone can do this it’s insane

[Vampxiii_]

Bruh. She didn’t embarrass the school. The school did that themselves.

[marley]

The fact the teachers couldn’t recognise that she wasn’t her daughter is shocking. Proves the lack of connections being made with students aswell as security issues.

[union_]

The fact that she could walk in with nobody batting an eye, and make it to 7th period before getting caught just proves her point. If you ask a school why they don’t have cameras and stuff, they say “oH wE don’t hAve enOuGH mONeY tO buY ThE seCuRIty” when they actually do have more than enough money to do so, but they spend it on textbooks.

[rosebautista]

I have mixed emotions with this. It is still weird how a mother can act like a spy in school. I do get her point and want to make a difference. But it’s just creepy how she did that though.

[illbuyourniknak]

While what she did was unorthodox, everyone should be asking how the school botched this so badly.
She makes a decent point. Staff were more concerned about her cellphone than anything else.
That needs to be addressed.

[melbaelba]

They had her arrested AFTER the fact...like they were doing something.

I had a doordash for a teacher at a high school. I had never been there so I didn't know where the front was. The door I entered through which wasn't locked I thought it was the entrance but was actually a side door to the hallway. I ended walking through the whole school passed by multiple teachers and the security that was monitoring the halls. I even stopped and asked a couple students where the office was. Nobody stopped me, nobody asked where my pass was, nobody asked what was in bag, Nobody said anything. They allowed me (a stranger) to walk right into their school with a bag that was carrying food but what if it wasn't food and what if i wasn't a doordasher. I walked around a good 10 mins before making it to the front finally. I obviously was just dropping off food but what if it was someone else ..

[Blazesp]

She took one for the team and spent the day in jail just to prove her point about how abysmal our security is for our schools. That is an amazing woman for ya
