Morgan Fogarty,

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – A high school senior in Louisiana and her mother were both charged this week for falsifying government documents. Turns out the 17-year-old student is actually a 28-year-old woman. She says she enrolled in high school because she wanted to learn English. Mom and daughter could each get up to 5 years in prison or a $5,000 fine. Does the punishment fit the crime?
