  I will agree with you there and wouldn't put it past reality TV to do that. They also drum up her childlike appearance too because outside of the trailers she doesn't look like a child. She looks like an adult with a disability to me.
context: I think it's creepy of that TV show to characterize her as "trapped inside an 8-year old body."  And I suspect the controversy you're reacting to was intentionally drummed up by the show.
  I have an adult friend with a similar body size and shape. She's not dating anyone at the moment, but I can't imagine anyone would give a fuck if she did. It's pretty obvious she's an adult from the way she dresses and behaves.
