Second childhood: mom uses daughters ID to be cheerleader

A 33-year-old Green Bay, Wisconsin woman was charged with stealing her daughter's identity to attend high school and join the cheerleading team.

Wendy Brown faces a felony identity theft charge after enrolling in Ashwaubenon High School as her 15-year-old daughter, who lives in Nevada with Brown's mother.

Ms Brown wanted to get her high school degree and be a cheerleader because she had no childhood and was trying to regain a part of her life she missed.

In addition to the identity theft charge, Brown is facing a bad check charge. The $134.50 check she gave to the cheerleading coach for her uniform bounced.
