Social Worker Accused of Posing as Traumatized Teen, Enrolling in 3 High Schools

A Massachusetts social worker faces multiple charges after allegedly forging her identity and enrolling in three different Boston-area high schools in two years. Thirty-two-year-old Shelby Hewitt stands accused of pretending to be a 13-year-old traumatized foster child and tricking three schools into approving her enrollment in classes — which she attended and even joined the women’s basketball team. The Law&Crime Network’s Jesse Weber discusses the bizarre case with forensic psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Bober.
