An Indiana couple is wanted for allegedly changing their adopted daughter's age from 8 to 22, then leaving her alone in an apartment while they moved the rest of the family to Canada, prosecutors say.


An Indiana couple is wanted for allegedly changing their adopted daughter's age from 8 to 22, then leaving her alone in an apartment while they moved the rest of the family to Canada, prosecutors said.

Michael Barnett and his now ex-wife, Kristine, were charged last week with two counts of felony neglect of a dependent. On Tuesday, a Tippecanoe County judge issued warrants for them both.

The article says the kid has some sort of dwarfism, and the parents claim the adoption was a sham. They claim she used her dwarfism to pretend to be a child but is really older. That seems like it would be pretty easy to determine.

If she identifies herself as 22 then I don't see a problem with it, right?

Listen up, arse-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with their fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town?

According to Kinnard, Michael believes he and Kristine are the victims of fraud and were led to believe that they were adopting a child when Natalia was actually a young adult between the ages of 18 and 22 who was presenting herself as a minor.

Kristine claimed in an interview with WISH-TV in Indianapolis on Friday that Natalia was diagnosed as both a psychopath and sociopath, and that when she and Michael adopted her she was actually an adult and not a child as they believed.


This is the plot to the horror movie Orphan.

This is such a bizarre story--it sounds like a damned Law & Order episode.

I read somewhere a few days ago that after being "abandoned," another couple petitioned to become her guardians but the Barnetts filed an objection citing an age issue. The other couple eventually dropped their petition, so I wonder if they were also convinced that the girl is older than she represents herself to be?

If the remake WillyWonka she can cash in as an Oompa Loopa and be fine on her own. No issue to see.
