Despite what you might think at first glance, Shauna’s real age is 22. Due to her condition, an adult girl has the body of an 8-year-old.
A little over a meter tall, the girl looks like a real baby. Shauna suffered from health issues as a child. Even though permanent treatment solved the girl’s health problem, it eventually stopped her physical development. “Normal people’s pituitary glands are constantly developing, but mine stopped completely. I will never grow up and will always be an eight-year-old girl.”
Living with this is extremely difficult. Shauna admits that she can’t even go to the gym by herself, so what can she say about restaurants? Those who don’t know about the issue are immediately curious about where her parents are. Despite Shauna’s independence and maturity, even her parents cannot treat her as an adult.
My parents interrogate me before every walk because they are very worried about me Shauna’s mother admits that she understands the complexity of the situation and agrees it’s time to let her go.
As a mother, she cannot allow this to happen, because who will protect her daughter, who is still physically an 8-year-old.
