Texas Mom Charged For Posing As 13-Year-Old Daughter To Prove Point On School Shootings
Casey Garcia, a 30-year-old San Elizario, Texas mom, has been charged after posing as her 13-year-old daughter and spending an entire day at her middle school to prove a point on school shootings. As part of her social experiment, Garcia put on fake tanner, dyed her hair to resemble her daughter Julie’s and wore a backpack and teen clothing.
The incident occurred at Garcia-Enriquez Middle School in San Elizario, located 20 miles southeast of El Paso. Throughout the day, Garcia documented her experience online as school administrators and most teachers failed to notice she was not a student in each of her daughter’s seven periods. In the last one, a teacher asked her to stay after and confronted her about using a phone in class. That’s when she came clean about her experiment.

It’s reported that on June 1, the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office was first alerted to Garcia’s posts on social media — including a YouTube video titled, “Going to school as my 13yr old daughter (Middle School edition).” Garcia was later taken into custody at her home and charged with criminal trespass and tampering. In follow-up videos, Garcia said “We need better security at our schools. This is what I tried to prove. I didn’t do this to get views. I didn’t do this to get likes. I didn’t do this so people could be mad at me and I can never walk around El Paso again.”
