A woman named Hyejeong Shin, 29, was able to attend a New Jersey high school for four days after submitting a fake birth certificate to the New Brunswick, N.J., board of education, according to Timcast.

Shin, who faces a third-degree charge for providing a false government document with intent to verify age or identity, was admitted immediately to the high school due to state laws.

“Pursuant to New Jersey statutes (18a:36-25.1) and guidance from the New Jersey Department of Education, schools are required to immediately enroll unaccompanied children, even in the absence of records normally required for enrollment,” read a statement from New Brunswick Police.

“Proof of guardianship is not necessary to immediately enroll an unaccompanied child or youth,” the statement continued.

The 29-year-old presented herself as a freshman while attending classes for four days before a teacher was suspicious of the woman. The superintendent then became aware of her age at a school board meeting and immediately expelled the woman and prohibited her from entering school property.
