Six-year-old girl with body of an old woman - Adalia Rose suffers rare premature aging condition
Like most six-year-old girls,
Adalia Rose Williams enjoys singing, dancing and dressing up.
But unlike many her age, her innocent pastimes have made her one of the most famous, yet unassuming, youngsters in the world.
She currently has nearly 6million Facebook fans, an inbox packed full of thousands of e-mails and is inundated with hundreds of letters.
Yet her emergence into the public eye has also brought its fair share of unwanted attention. She has been subjected to vile abuse and has even been the victim of a death hoax.

Yet her emergence into the public eye has also brought its fair share of unwanted attention. She has been subjected to vile abuse and has even been the victim of a death hoax.
The youngster, from Round Rock,
a city 20 miles north of Austin, Texas, needs help walking up a staircase and
doesn't go to school because she needs constant care.
As a result, some people give her strange looks but her parents - 24-year-old mother Natalia Amozurrutia and her 26-year-old stepfather Ryan Pallante - tell her it's because 'they've never seen an angel,' they toldGawker.com.

She tracked down one of the
trolls, Carl Sherburne, who was unrepentant in his response.
He told her: 'I don't want to say it like this, but this is the only way it's going to sink in: Whenever you're putting pictures of your child and letting her dress up, and putting videos of her dancing, you're presenting your child with Progeria like it's a freak show.'
But in large part, Natalia has managed to protect her daughter from the full force of the abuse.
When asked if Adalia is a 'happy girl', she responds: 'Oh yeah. She's out there now. You see.'
