An Indiana husband accused with his wife of abandoning their adopted daughter in an apartment alone before fleeing to Canada has spoken out, alleging the daughter is a “sociopath” and a “con artist” who is actually an adult.

Appearing on ABC’s Good Morning America, Michael Barnett, 43, said that he and his wife, Kristine, 45, thought they were adopting an 8-year-old girl from Ukraine back in 2010.

The daughter has a form of dwarfism called spondyloepiphyseal, and two years after the adoption, the Barnetts had the daughter’s age changed to 22. Barnett told GMA he and his wife now think she may be as old as 33.

Barnett said doctors treating the daughter — identified only as Natalia — told them “this person is a sociopath. This person is a con artist. You are all in danger.”

According to Barnett, Natalia was bent on causing them harm.

“Natalia would do things like place clear thumb tacks on the stairs face up so that when we would walk up the stairs, we would be stepping on thumb tacks to pain and injure ourselves,” Barnett said.
