In a bizarre turn of events, a 28-year-old woman and her mother were apprehended in Louisiana on Tuesday morning for an unusual and deceptive ploy. Authorities claim that Marta Elizeth Serrano-Alvarado, 46, took advantage of a fraudulent passport and birth certificate to enroll her adult daughter, Martha Jessenia Gutierrez-Serrano, in Hahnville High School under the false pretense of being a 17-year-old student for the academic year 2022-23 (NBC News). The motive behind this scheme, as reported by ABC News, was for Gutierrez-Serrano to learn English. The illicit activities came to light when the school district received a tip suggesting that the enrolled student may not be a teenager, but rather an individual in her mid-20s. Consequently, the authorities were contacted (press release).
As stated by the sheriff of St. Charles Parish, Gutierrez-Serrano had recently arrived in the United States in 2021, while her mother had arrived earlier and possessed an expired visa. Despite their illegal actions, the sheriff acknowledged that the daughter had been a well-behaved and diligent student who focused on her studies without causing any disruptions. The sheriff empathized with her intentions of seeking English proficiency and further education. However, regardless of whose decision it was, submitting falsified documents to the government is undeniably an act of poor judgement. Consequently, both the mother and daughter are now facing charges of injuring public records (Louisiana stories).
