30-Year-Old Woman Passed Self as 13-Year-Old Boy, Enrolled in School

By Alex in Baby & Kids, Crime & Law on Jan 13, 2008 at 7:13 am

This is a strange one: a 30-year-old woman named Barbora Skrlova passed herself as a 13-year-old boy … and even enrolled herself in school!

Barbora Skrlova fled to Norway from the Czech Republic and posed as a 13-year-old boy for four months to avoid giving testimony in a 2007 child abuse case, Czech police said.

She was deported back to the Czech Republic and detained after months of fooling teachers in Norway by passing herself off as a boy named Adam. She was enrolled at a school near Oslo in September by a woman who introduced the 33-year-old as her son.

Skrlova was eventually arrested after the police received a tip-off.

    I guess I wasn’t the only one who through at first she would make a great young Nosferatu. ;)

    Apparently, no gym AND no sun in Norway. Wa wa.
    I too thought Nosferatu.

    I guess there is no tactful way to say to someone, “Your son is the creepiest looking thirteen-year-old boy I’ve ever seen. Are you sure he isn’t a 33-year-old woman attempting to escape testifying in a child abuse case?”

    Wow, first off, what made her even think up, and go through, with that kind of a plan?
    And I’m wondering how she did socially on the campus..

    She doesn’t look like a 13 year old boy in that picture. She doesn’t look like a woman in the other picture either. In both pictures, she looks like a 30 year-old person shirking her civic duty.

    And I thought still being mistaken for 12 was bad! I’d love to see more pictures of her, to see how convincing the act really was.
