questions and there answers, investigative reporter, chad pradelli is live with the story. >> reporter: we are still trying to get answers but sources tell me that last year a bogus doctor went into a philadelphia school district facility and performed physicals on students. this is the physical form from george washington high school. the student was examined at the high school in june. it was a dr. bay, dr. bay signed the form and provided her number and license at the bottom. but dr. bay is not a licensed medical doctor, the address she gave is this west philadelphia row home and a check of the medical license number she provided on the form doesn't exist with the state. >> very angry but very scared. >> this mother that doesn't want to be identified says she found out about the bogus doctor after the teenager learned about problems with bay's physicals at the school and reached out to george washington athletic director tim geyser. >> theage let ecdirector at the school says the forms were going downtown. that the district was investigating. >> that was in december, a few weeks later the parent received an email from geyser saying that free physicals will be provided at district headquarters by all students evaluated by bay. the philadelphia school district released a statement, reading in part. the school district of philadelphia works closely with the athlete organization to make sure thousands of students get proper physicals but the district would not say how bay was authorized to perform physicals and how many students or schools were affected. when we pressed for more answers, a spokesperson says that protocols are in place to make sure this doesn't happen again. >> the parent with whom i spoke wants the case referred to authorities and the school
