Lady with tiny voice and baby face cries out
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a lady born with a tiny voice and a baby face has cried out that people doubt that she is an adult.
The TikToker with the handle @itzamealiaa has a small stature which is not helped by her tiny voice and baby-like face, which has led many to conclude she is underage.
In a video on the platform, the bold and courageous lady revealed she has the Russell-Silver Syndrome (RSS) which is responsible for her small stature.
RSS is a rare disorder characterized by intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), poor growth after birth, a relatively large head size, a triangular facial appearance, a prominent forehead (looking from the side of the face), body asymmetry and significant feeding difficulties.
