A loving mom who took an exam for her daughter got caught and is facing a stiff fine while her daughter is barred from enrolling in a university for the next five years.
MOTHER, 52, ARRESTED IN FRQANCE FOR ‘DRESSING AS A TEENAGER’ TO TAKE HER 19-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER’S ENGLISH FINAL EXAM
Mother wore casual clothes including low-waisted skinny jeans and Converse trainers to blend in with other pupils, but a sharp-eyed invigilator noticed it wasn't the same person who had taken the student's philosophy test a week earlier

A 52-year-old mother who 'dressed like a teenager' to take her daughter's end of term English exam has been arrested in France.
The middle-aged woman wore low-waisted skinny jeans and Converse shoes to take the English language baccalaureate in Paris.
But a sharp-eyed invigilator who had seen the 19-year-old daughter taking her philosophy test a week earlier realized the woman was an imposter and called police.
She was arrested when the exam ended so as not to disturb other students taking the test this week, a Paris police spokesman said.
He added: 'The mother was dressed in the casual clothes a typical teenager would wear.
'She was held briefly in custody and freely admitted what she had done. She said she was better at English than her daughter.'
The mother now faced fraud charges and a fine of up to £7,000.
The daughter faced being banned from taking all public exams for five years, police said.
The baccalaureate was introduced by Napoleon in 1808 and is France's main school-leaving exam.
Students usually take five subjects which they must pass if they wish to go to university.
