      I think it's BS that Natalia forgave Michael. He deserves justice. Not to mention all of the information he has been hiding and/or lying about, not only in the trial but during their conversation DIRECRLY TO HER FACE! Sure, Natalia may have been somewhat violent, but she was a kid! All kids do stupid things for no reason at all most of the time. And you can't tell me that you were genuinely scared of a disabled 7 year old, while simultaneously telling her what to do, where to be, what to say, how to move, and this that and the third. Listen, I unserstand that Natalia may be a good person, but I believe vengeance is due!

So which is it then? Natalia story has been the same pretty consistently. Michael is all over the place. Because is has also been reviled through bloodwork that she was around the age of the birth certificate provided from the orphanage. Also she does look different and how people brush over this from the beginning is comical. She doesn’t have breasts with the barnetts and she does now. Pictures of Michael holding she looks significantly smaller. It’s like people just wanna hear a good fantasy horror story then the true horror is that Natalia was just another kid abused with the system and an abusive adoptive home.

      And yes it was proven that she was underaged when she was abandoned but even if she had been the age the Barnetts aged her up to, she was still a disabled person and their dependent and they were still responsible for her. The fact that she was a child makes it even worse. But they were told no matter how old she was they were still responsible and they abandoned her anyway. That's why Kristine supposedly framed Michael as a violent person that was going to kill her and their sons. Because she didn't want to be responsible and if Michael was still in the states, he would be the sole responsible person for Natalia while she was galavanting in Canada with her boys.

      She also grew up before ALL of that in institutions....too small to protect herself from the predators that surrounded her/ abused and sexualized her from a horribly early age.
      Micheal Barnett admitted to he and christine throwing her down a set of stairs, shooting a gun at or around her, and making her go for long walks with crippling ankle pain. And Christine tried to pimp her out/sell her to other families of little people.

    The fact the Barnetts got off on a technicality being that the jurors could not be informed that she was a 9-12 year old when abandoned to live on her own but instead under the belief she was 22 is such a travesty and miscarriage of justice.
    Also that her biological mother was manipulated to give her up for not being able to afford her medical bills or the fact she was pawned off from adoptive family to family and was labeled a sociapath for acting out like many children her age do, this poor girl endured a life of sadness that no kid should ever have, and she was re-aged by 14 years effectively robbing her of her childhood.
    And all the monsters that did this to her everyone from the adoptive agency, her birth doctor, the Barnetts, their family dr and judge that re aged her ALL got off scotch free…. Disgusting.

    what upset me during the docu series was the fact that her neighbors expressed that they wanted her to go away and that she was weird. If an adult, yes, her behavior is off-putting however if you look at what she did (walking into neighbors homes, looking for food, wanting to play with their kids, wanting attention) from the perspective that she was a child, on her own, the behavior is not that strange. Of course a child would want to be around people, would want to play, to have attention from others, and would be looking for food/help. The Barnetts abused her to the point that if she said anything that was contrary to what they wanted her to say she would get into trouble. I don't buy the whole "I was abused by my wife" story. He recorded himself browbeating Natalia, calling her a "liar", asking her where she had been, and who she had spoken to. They put a child in an apartment and told her to fend for herself.

    Ok so... let's assume she doesn't care about anyone but herself. Can you blame her? After all she's been through I'm sure she has been left with some pretty severe trust issues. I couldn't possibly blame her for being afraid to get close to others.
    How can the couple that originally adopted her sleep at night? The amount of abuse and trauma that they inflicted on her is ... I can't even find the words. I don't know how Natalia even functions at all after all she's been put through.

    I've followed this thing since it broke. I actually don't have anything nice to say about the parents. Kristine Barnett wanted to make everyone think she was so great for adopting a special needs child from Ukraine, but was completely out upon realizing her care would be super expensive. $30,000 special shoes for instance. Natalia is actually super strong because that second floor apartment they put her in....... jeez. They were trying to cause her death and she survived. She just turned 20 and she's tougher than a lot of us. Imagine being 37 inches tall and the weight of a small suitcase forced to live alone in a crime filled area with no support or medical care that her adoptive parents were legally required to provide. They sidestepped that by illegally upping her age by fourteen years while they had her in a mental facility where no mental issues were found. The accusations made by supposed employees were not confirmable and likely lies paid for by Kristine. I also believe the two younger boys she has are in grave danger. The next time we hear from her her will involve the death of one or both. She needs to be put in jail and someone other than Michael should have custody.
    And why is he still trying to look cool in that convertible minutes after fake crying in that last sit down with Natalia? What a D-bag!

    No matter what this latest family is saying if what they’re saying is allegedly true you have to understand it from this perspective that’s a child because whether she’s you know 22 or nine she’s still someone that is a child was extremely abused and neglected. Of course her emotional gauge is not going to be the same as someone who wasn’t abandoned by their family who wasn’t forced to live on their own as a young young child, because put yourself in that position and it’s gonna be a fucked life. You’re gonna have to start looking out for only yourself at a very young age and it’s gonna cause a very strained mindset. This is someone that needs extreme mental health therapy to become a well adjusted young woman and I believe she’s capable of it. She seems extremely intelligent and extremely willing to be caring, she’s been done dirty by a lot of people and this poor child needs a hug and some understanding and some actual support because it’s atrocious what is happened to her and what has been allowed by the court systems and as well as people themselves. I’m so glad she made up with her adoptive father Michael, that’s probably very healing for her and for him, because if she forgives him, he should forgive himself as well but that woman I hope this little girl gets everything she has, because what she did to that baby was not OK
