29 year old poses as child of 12.

[Browney]

A 29-year-old convicted sex offender has spent four months at a US school after successfully posing as a 12-year-old boy, officials say.

They say Neil Rodreick shaved his body hair, covered his stubble with make-up and took a new name to attend Imagine Charter School in Phoenix, Arizona.
The 173cm (5ft 8in) man was eventually expelled for poor attendance in 2006.
He was arrested after trying to enrol at another school. He has since been charged with forgery and fraud.
Mr Rodreick spent seven years in jail after being convicted of lewdly propositioning a six-year-old boy in 1996.
'Age-appropriate'
Mr Rodreick adopted the name Casey Price to attend Imagine Charter School, investigators say.

Mindy Newlin, pupil's parent


They say he blended well with the other pupils, many of whom were actually taller and bigger than him.
He attended classes and always handed in his homework on time.
"He absolutely looked age-appropriate," school spokeswoman Rhonda Cagle told the New York Times newspaper.
"By all accounts from the teachers, he was fairly quiet and withdrawn," she said.
Mindy Newlin, parent of one of the pupils at the school, said: "We are just shocked."
Mr Rodreick even convinced two men who had been looking for boys on the internet to pretend to be his relatives.
He was caught earlier in January, after teachers at another school in Arizona - where he had gone for a day - became suspicious. In all, Mr Rodreick spent nearly two years disguised as a boy.

Wow, it's shocking that he actually got away with that and that he even bothered to do it and hand in the homework. But, at the same time it is really sick.

Hang on wouldn't they notice a bit of a bulge in a 12 year olds section. I can understand if the guy had a sqeuaky voice, but wouldnt you notice if he didnt and had a manly voice at 12?
Its pathetic.

LOL!
thats disturbing. they can catch a mass murderer like saddam hussain, but they can't tell the difference between an adult and kid? (even if he had shaven his hair off) it would have been noticeable.

[TheLastShadow]

er..a buldge? U can just wear baggy pants and it wont show...

[nobility]

you dont need to see a bulge to notice it, you know.

[:Hazel]

[Roboevil]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL and this went on for 2 years? That's incredible! He handed his homework in on time LOL, wow that man is a legend, how did he manage to do that with no one noticing? I've never heard such a cunning get away (that actually worked) in all my life.
LOL at his pic!

Also, can I ask why everyone seems to think it's sick? He's only pretending to be someone else. Unless you're talking about whatever he was convicted for but that's irrelevant.

Everyones saying that it wouldnt be hard to notice etc.

In america they hold people back classes etc. In my math classes I have people who are like.. 4 years older than me? Its not an odd thing to see.

Yeah but he's still saying he's 12 years old, which everyone finds impossible that he could have done that.

[Imagine]

That guy is a legend

[lAdmire]

First of all, how did he get away with this? Didn't they realize he didn't have any previous school records such as report cards because when you change schools all your information is supposedly sent to your new school so they have that information on file for any important reasons. Obv this school wasn't very smart. It has nothing to do with American's. It could've happened in any country but... there must be some really tall kids @ this school if he was shorten than some of the 12 year olds there. Wow.

Tbh i dont think most the people who do that would really care, the only reason there doing it is because they are in the HC and are after furni.
