Talk about living vicariously through your children... a woman in Wisconsin took advantage of the fact that her 15-year-old daughter lived with her father in another state and enrolled in her local high school under her daughter's name to become a cheerleader and get a high school diploma. Wendy Brown, 33, who faces identity theft charges, apparently attended high school so she could regain the part of her childhood that she missed. Unfortunately, though, she didn't hold attending class in high enough regard and bounced a $134.50 check for her cheerleading uniform. 

According to a school employee, Brown wasn't good at math and cried when talking about transferring from another high school. She played the part, but did she look it? You decide:

Brown has been arrested and if convicted she faces six years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
