Crazy story of how a 32-year-old social worker was able to masquerade as a traumatized high schooler for almost a year while keeping up her full-time job as a social worker. Shelby Hewitt, also known as 'Ellie Blake', 13, and 'Daniella Blake Herrerra', 16, conned her way into three high schools and a treatment center, even tricking a therapist and her partner into becoming her foster parents...

Posing as fake social worker Michelle Delfi using the bogus Massachusetts state email Hewitt created, she emailed the school's guidance counselor to notify them about the bullying she claimed Ellie was suffering.

'Elle has a really bad day at school yesterday, cried all evening and doesn’t want to go back,' the message said - with Hewitt allegedly writing about herself in the third person.

'(Ellie) is really sensitive about people commenting on her face and how she looks older,' Ms. 'Delphi' wrote. 'It's a huge trigger point for her.'

Delphi said that Ellie suffered from a genetic medical condition that prematurely aged her, and claimed she was a vulnerable victim of child trafficking that now lived with a foster family.

After school staff worked out a plan for her return, principal Caitlin Murphy realized certain aspects of the troubled student's story didn't add up - most notably, Delphi's email domain didn't match the correct DCF address.

from a different article

"Graduating with her master's degree in school counseling from the University of Massachusetts, Boston in 2016, she was initially hired by the DCF right out of graduate school on a $50,000 salary.

She left in 2018, around the same time her mother and maternal grandfather passed away, leaving her with a large inheritance speculated to be as much as $1 million. '

'At some point, Hewitt had also purchased a $350,000 apartment, paying for the property in cash rather than needing a mortgage. '

Just to follow up, the Law & Order episode wasn’t based on this specific case. But the plot was extremely similar with an older female pretending to be a High School student.

To give you an idea of how long ago it was, Fred Thompson was the DA and Elizabeth Rohm was Jack McCoy’s assistant.
