Dr. Phil McGraw tells “GMA” about his exclusive interview with Natalia Barnett, whose former adoptive parents are now facing jail time. #ABCNews #Dwarfism #Adoption #DrPhil
@@bri8634 Agreed. This woman is a little too polished to be a teenager. She is definitely in her mid-twenties if not thirty. She has duped Dr. Phil because there is no way that an 8-year-old can survive in an apartment alone for a year with or without assistance.

They've proven she was born in 2003. Regardless of anything she's said or done and whether you like her or not, and no matter what size you think her teeth are, she was born in 2003. The investigators went to the Ukraine and collected DNA and pulled her birth certificate. People's reaction is like witch hunt. So bizarre. I feel so sorry for her. Shame on the Barnetts. Such shameful behavior on so many levels.
She was kicked out of several houses because of violence and a six year old doesn’t have pubic hair. I feel bad that these parents were so happy to adopt a child and now their lives are ruined because they had extra love!
@@snowjewel3982 if it's even true, she probably kept the knives under her bed for protection from the abuse she suffered from the Barnetts!! Horrible people!!!
@@snowjewel3982 She was not kicked out of several houses! She was in foster homes, which means temporary babysitters, paid by the government as a job, who don't want much work taking care of a crippled dwarf child who has to be lifted to reach everything and cannot walk or stand without pain, needing crutches or a walker, and sometimes a wheelchair to rest.
@snowjewel3982 The first family who adopted her at age 4 wanted a polite, calm, feminine girl. She had learned in the orphanage to be a rowdy, rambunctious tomboy, who played too rough. One day, while wrestling with the boy who was about her age, she landed on his arm the wrong way, almost breaking it. The adoptive mother was sick of the rowdiness and gave her up to be a ward of the state, being put in foster homes to temporarily babysit her and being available for permanent adoption.
Update, 3 years later we know the mom lied about everything and they located and dna tested and confirmed her birthmother and found her original birth certificate and she is in fact 16 in this video. Her adoptive parents beat and abused her and abandoned her at 7 years old and got away with it, it's totally fucked up.
Yes them abusing her was so wrong. But I still wonder about the age thing bc they found the biological mom with the birthdate however at 6-8 she’s trying to prostitute herself to men and has a period?? That’s the only thing that gets me
@@NatashaFitnessYogaPilates Many girls get that hair by age 8 because of the hormones put in modern livestock getting into meat abd milk. Her type of dwarfism may've caused even earlier puberty. Also, it may not have really been fully grown in.
@@Mary_Thompson I’m well aware. My daughter went through this and started her period at 10 but 8 is a big difference from 6. Just saying if I saw a 6 year old with pubic hair, it would shock me too.
I think they are using old photos already adultered before this story broke loose. Back then they were trying to protect her identity now they aren't. 🤷♀️ Guess she's in her late 20's
@@teresahowick5197 That's just how the legal system works. Any case involving a minor, their names and pictures of them can't be made public if it's in relation to an investigation. It'd be different if the child is currently an adult and told whoever he/she chose with their own discretion, but I'm pretty sure Dr. Phil's producers don't want a potential lawsuit.
just by looking at her face you can see how much she's grown, her features are completely different, the people that adopted her never wanted to have a daughter, they wanted money and fame, look at their history. I cannot fathom how so many adults let that child suffer at that young age. She was left alone at one point, they tried to fake her age and abandon her to leave the problem behind
@@user-zv5ko6ne3s Nobody wanted a crippled, dwarfed child who couldn't fluently speak any language after being neglected in a Ukrainian orphanage since birth.
If an adult lies about their age and claims to be a child - you call a lawyer and child protective services. If a child or adult tries to harm you again you call child protective services. Whether they're disabled or abled you call child protective services... You do NOT set them up with a place and bounce and assume there's no responsibility 😳
@@daundisputedtake7238 fyi there's no videos or evidence of that from police or protective services OR THESE ADULTS so there's that. Look people with IDD can be complex, the same as those without IDD so the aging process varies - depending on the underlying condition - but IDD children and adults experience accelerated aging including a genetically elevated risk of developing Alzheimer disease...... so she's most likely a child aka a Mogwai, not a Gremlin!! Cmon now 🧠 💡
why blur her childhood face in those photos while she is talking in front of the camera now? isn't it kinda important to show how she looked like in the past in the case?
And her real parents did the real trick...I think her former parents are not lying....may be she is actually harmful...and that's why her real parents just put her in the adoption agency without any reason...may be they knew that no one will gonna believe them
Noelyn She is apparently 30 but no the parents that adopted her pushed her age up from to 8 to 22. Now 8 years later she’s apparently 30. But her real age is 16
I tried watching the documentary on HBO and I couldn’t get past the first few minutes of the adoptive father speaking. He’s the one that looks psycho. He’s as good an actor as any kid on a teen Disney show!
@@phuongdoan3027 that is what they meant. Why blur her face in photos when she is sitting there in person. They aren't blind. You dont understand contextual English obviously
I watched the entire episode and I believe the child. The adoptive father was a great actor....even the first son admitted that the mother terrorized the child, even had him pee on her bed. How sick is that. Those parents are evil and should be in jail. Even if she was 50 years old, she does not have the physical ability to be on her own in a second floor apartment. Would they treat their biology children in that manner? Shame on them
The child was diagnosed as a psychopath independent of the Barnetts. She bragged to neighbors about wanting to kill her family. She called 911 to report that she wanted to kill a neighbor family. Kristine wasn’t there when Natalia made that call. The Barnetts took Natalia to multiple doctors and mental health facilities. Natalia would urinate on her littlest brother and smear feces on him. I think the Barnetts really didn’t know how to handle this disgusting behavior. Did you get the idea that Jacob lived in that dark ugly basement. He doesn’t. The documentary wanted us to believe that Jacob had regressed to the point where he lived in that basement. Jacob has a PhD and his own apartment and a job. Don’t trust everything about that documentary.
@@helenstockman3499 The boy said that Mrs. Barnett forced him to urinate on Natalia's bed, so it would be likely that the victim would retaliate with urine or feces. They deserved it.
The incredible thing about this story is that she found herself a home and for six years (date of this video) she's been integrated into this family. I would love to see an update of this.
@Cody Carr that’s more down to the mounds of money she’s making on interviews lol. Had you actually sat through the entire series like the rest of us who are smarter than to comment on TH-cam before actually watching the show…you’d know that she gets a hefty Social Security check every month which this new family has asked her to *sign over to them* and they have chosen not to formally adopt her but rather just become her legal financial guardians. I guess the term *red flag* is new to you. So yeah ….not so sure about your happy family theory….
@@ns2110theonly mounds of money? How much do you think social security gives? And if you watched to documentary you would know that a.) They spent the money at the grocery store, b,) Natalia clearly has medical equipment that she didn’t have before, c.) this lady and her husband clearly love her, and d.) Natalia is happy… If they were just after the money then she would be in the same miserable situation as before. And you obviously didn’t catch that she’s legally 30 something years old so she can’t be adopted… Seems like you just want to be a miserable person who wants everyone else’s to be miserable. And that IS a red flag
@@ns2110theonly its typical for ukranian, they like to kill and hate their benefactors' guts well at least 60% of them. This is what they do for centuries!!! This is what even Otto Von Bismarck wrote about them to german nation. Quote " there is nothing more vile and disgusting than so called ukranians...most of all they hate those who did them good..." Especially they love to stab with knives. There are many stories of ukranian refugees around internet now that are silenced by the mainstream media because they like to pose them as victims of agressions. They do kill and poison a lot. On top of knives action they love to hang victims on ropes, set them on fire, shock with electricity and use chainsaws. Example a girl 8 was stabbed over 70 times in County clare in Ireland, UK, it is still " under investigation" because it was her own mother stabbing her. Then Irish women called to radio shows saying ukranian kids are threatening and stabbing their Irish kids!!! Same in Poland, Germany and everywhere else they go. They like to appear as victims and this appeals to male gender sexual instincts, they want to defend the victim, they do exploit it as its their national sport to seduce men this way!
They did this interview at 16. She looked like a kid when they adopted her. She obviously aged from when those older photos were taken. WTF is wrong with y'all?
with how she’s aged since, i believe her, if you’ve seen interviews of the adoptive father giving his side of the story he seems so incredibly off. lying or not you shouldn’t leave someone whose dependent on others alone in an apartment, especially if said person can’t even reach the counters. if they had that big of an issue with her they could’ve put her in foster care/ adoption or therapy.
I think Michael visited weekly while the family lived nearby. The neighbors said so. If he understood doctors at hospital found her to be an adult....dangerous....., why would he ....how could he...treat her as a child. Do SSI rules change when one becomes an adult? Legally, is she still an adult?
@@cpainstructoractually the opposite the test results showed that she was indeed still a child when she was left to live alone and on top of that the mother 100% knew that she was a little girl because they took her to the dentist in 2006 and it showed that she still had baby teeth with her adult teeth coming in right under
First Last ThAt is extremely, extremely rare for even precocious puberty. But for somebody with dwarfism to experience that is next to unheard of. It affects their development and usually stunts their sexual development as well.
Our Darling Angel It’s extremely rare and you don’t have to go back to the 30’s for extreme cases however....dwarfism. It’s nearly unheard of as it also hinders sexual maturation. It affects your hormonal development and slows down to much that the chances are slim to none.
The family was notified by an adoption agency in FA because the family with dwarfism that originally wanted her backed out of the adoption. The whole story is fishy and just keeps getting stranger and stranger....
They didn't travel abroad to adopt her. She came to the US when she was small and was bounced around in the system and the Barnett's adopted her without ever even seeing her. When I first heard this story about a month ago, I believed the parents. Not now. For one, there's a picture of her, when they claimed she was 20 and she said she was 8 and she was missing her front teeth. It's perfectly common for an 8 year old. For a 20 year old... Not so much. The Barnett's have adopted children who are geniuses. They use them almost like prizes to show off and push them really hard in academia. If Natalia wasn't up to snuff by their standards, that's an excuse to abandon her. Plus, they say she's an evil dwarf trying to kill them AND she's an adult scam artist posing as a child? Sounds a little far fetched. I mean, friggin pick one
But she grew. Are you going to ignore that the dwarf girl they adopted have changed a lot from the early pics of her (like everybody who grows from a baby to an adult). She is not a grown adult in any picture. Doctors tested her also. Not to mention, if she was a fully grown adult when they adopted her, she wouldn't have grown so much. This kid shouldn't be going through that.
You do realize that people get money for adopting? Especially when you adopt a special needs child. Did the family continue taking this money even though she lived on her own? I'd like to know. Sadly, there has been cases where someone adopts a child just to get money from that state.
Annette Melnychuk Who are you asking? If you want to know if dwarves sometimes have larger features, check out the video of her former foster parents with dwarfism. It’s on TH-cam.
For some reason people always choose the wrong side. They found out it was too hard to deal with a handicap person. Humanity is gone. I wish her happiness.
THEY LITERALLY DID THE DNA TEST. Her mother would have been 10 years old if she was born in 1989. The justice system was so messed in this situation. Also, the adoptive dad is some clear coke head.
yeeehhaaaw Dwarfism doesn’t make you look younger on the contrary it makes you look older and comes with other disabilities and ailments that can for instance can make one experience puberty at a younger age than other kids.
She clearly has the condition though ? She's clearly profoundly effected by dwarfism..... So you're simply saying based on the facts someone is lying or not they can look young???? Your statement doesn't really make sense because she clearly has dwarfism by you're saying she's supposed to look young and she doesn't??? So it seems like you're saying "because she's a liar she doesn't look young but if she wasn't a liar she would look young"? I don't think a diagnosis would be flexible like that..... It doesn't just flip to one side or another based on a person being a liar or not. I think the reason why people are thinking she looks older is because of her strong bone features.... She has a prominent nose..... If she had softer features people would perceive her as younger.
That family has taken in and adopted numerous children and given them a loving home for years. Then all of a sudden they decide to abandon one? Yeah right I don't believe it. I think they are correct.
mark bennett, exactly from interviews I’ve seen they seem like decent ppl. The father stated that when they moved to Canada they left bc their son was attending college @ 14! They had to be doing a lot of things right IMO.
I mean, she has severe disabilities.. it’s not uncommon for children with disabilities like her’s to keep going around the foster care system. So maybe they got tired of all the care they have to provide her
My sister also had her fully mature adult face by 14, just as I had. My sister's face looked mostly mature by 11, 12, and 13, so many people thought she was in her twenties then.
the people who think she's an adult are completely crazy, her former adoptive parents should be charged and the judge who agreed to change her age should be demoted
But the language that she was using is that of an adult. And she was old enough to know that if they found out that she had a period, that would reveal that she’s older that’s what is lead to believe. If a child was bleeding, they would run and tell their parents immediately so the fact that she hid her period for 3 months is telling. A child wouldn’t know how to conceal a secret like that. Her birth certificate may have said she was born in 2003, but she knew she wasn’t! And she was trying to molest children when she moved into her first apartment. Not to mention, she was trying to give the staff at the mental institution sexual favors and that’s the reason why she got kicked out.
@@shaylaprothro8681don't u have any shame u r talking abt a teenager like this? And supporting the parents ohh god paid comments by barnetts isn't it?
@@shaylaprothro8681 lol do u know disability PPL they can't even walk properly and even talk. And u think she can sexually harras her brother??? Oh come on she can't even walk properly 😂and now she is happy.
I’m not saying I believe or disbelieve anything about this whole thing but I just want to say that people with some forms of dwarfism or even people just with different conditions may sound older or younger due to their condition. If you lookup Primordial Dwarfism, people with this condition have highpitched younger voices. So it all depends on that side of things.
This story is so sad..It's obvious that this girl was a small child when those monsters adopted her..She deserves justice for the neglect that was done towards her..
Clearly not that obvious to a lot of morons in the comments section. It breaks my heart to see how so many people have abused Natalia. I hope someday she finds happiness.
She does look in her 20s but looks don’t really mean anything. I look 16/17 but I’m 23. Always getting carded and people never believing my age because of how young I look.
Lmao the amount of people here thinking she’s a grown woman pretending to be a child in this interview is wild. She’s already 16 of course she already grown after the Barnetts. It happened yrs ago before this interview and if u have time go for a quick research you’ll find proofs that she really was born 2003 instead of making up theories like damn. The families before and after the Barnetts never had a problem with her like have u seen the docu in ID?? the dad is cookoo!!
By "grown woman with dwarfism" you mean in the sense of "creepy little goblinesque troll from some fairytale book to keep kids awake at night", interpretitivly speaking, right?
@No diggity You do realise that's offensive coz everyone looks different everyone grows different its like making fun of someone for their weight or height but in this case hight, medical problems and looks and that's just rude and we dont know shes a grown woman. I have people at my school who look like they could be teachers but they arent so stop guessing peoples ages etc from how they look. I'm aware this is long when I'm annoyed with something someone's said I write lots.
ABC dont care about woman, they had a story of a convicted pedophile and failed to report it now 3 years later it finally come out and now they avoid it, ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE !! th-cam.com/video/3lfwkTsJGYA/w-d-xo.html

"ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE", my goodness you sound so bitter. You remind me of old what's his name, that keeps bellowing out "FAKE NEWS", because he is so bitter.
You can see in the documentary that the police went to Ukarine, where she is from, and took a DNA test on her birth mother that proved she was her mother. If the girl should have been 22 as they said and not 6, her mother would have been 10 years when she had her. So it seems like she was a child after all, even if she lookd older. The whole sing is so wierd.
They got her from adoption center how in hell they are blaming this on her. What did they think to get when they adopted a child with dwarfism? And why were they blaming her? Maybe she didn’t know her age, the medical examiner can determine that. I think those so called adoptive parents realized what kind of commitment they got themselves into, so they decided to smear her to get out of responsibility.
First of all Phil lost his license 20 years ago so he's not a doctor, second of all, how can you possibly believe that she had 30 foster parents at the age of 6 and we only know of 3.

It's very obvious that the girl was just a child when being adopted and is at the correct age. Prove? There's a photo of her losing a tooth when being adopted. Another prove? Look how different she is right now compared to her in the photos. Only puberty can cause drastic changes. If she were already an adult when being adopted, she wouldn't look any different than how she is right now.
shayne emmert: you are missing the point of asking the question in the first place. he is not interested in hearing the answer, he knows what she is going to say, he is reading her body language when she says it. it is a common police tactic.
@@indiashante1560 Yes but we can't figure out her age exactly so she most likely is anywhere from late teen to early 20s now. Definitely not a fully grown adult when she was first adopted.
Her biological mom just proved she’s 19 now, 3 years later. Whaddya know. Her mom was born in 1979 and the judge ruled she was born in 1989, so she would have been 10 while pregnant with her second daughter, and pictures show that’s not the case.
The movie orpahn came out a year before this, the former adoptive parents are full of shit, they had her age evaluated multiple times and only when they got the desired results did they then have her age changed. It's possible the girl did some malicious shit that had them concerned, but kids do shit like that all the time.
@@tty23 What kind of people do you hang out with. My brother and sister didn't ever do anything to hurt our parents and neither did our children. All kids and most kids don't act like that..
@@taunjabrockway6760 The girl has been through 30 different foster parents, some that were abusive, it is actually very common behaviour for children who have experienced trauma at an early age to do things like that. Not saying it's ok but it also means she needs help if she was acting out that way. Children don't have the capacity to think ahead and foresee consequences, that's why we don't usually hold them accountable for certain things. I totally agree with @tty23 seems like the adoptive parents watched the movie and were determined to re-enact it in their own lives, probably for the attention. Even if she was older than stated, she is still severely disabled and dumping her like they did is neglect and abuse of a person with a disability. They both need to be held accountable for what they have done to this poor girl.
@@taunjabrockway6760 not all, but defiantly some. Keep in mind she grew up in an orphanage and was passed around to different families, so lashing out and doing other things might be par the course.
Uh they already proved that she was born in 2003. They found her birth mother in Ukraine who was 41 at the time and she took a DNA test proving she was the birth mother and she had the records that proved she gave birth to a female child with dwarfism in 2003. You can clearly see in the photos of her when they first got her that she was a child with baby teeth. Not to mention there are records of her having growth plates at the time (something only children have) I also don't know what yall are on about saying she looks/sounds like a 33 yo. She doesn't. She looks like a teenager with dwarfism.
naldinet200 you must not have heard about how she was hiding knives under her bed or how she took her siblings toys and threw them into traffic so they’d go running into it trying to harm or kill them
She's a diagnosed sociopathic monster, so there's that. Even Dr Phil would conveniently skip over that fact to fit his narrative about her "innocence" in all of this.
@@brett19890Where has she ever been diagnosed as having ASPD, especially in light of the Barnetts outright admitting that most of what they claimed Natalia did is a lie?
The Neighbors at the Apartment complex where her adoptive parents left her said she admitted to trying to kill her adoptive parents and their kid. They said she would act provocative towards men and boys. They basically banned her from coming to their homes
Exactly. That's not a child behavior. Pubic hair, breasts, and her sex drive. Thr neighbours confirmed the breasts and the behavior. C'mon. This is no child.
She has no wrinkles. You're all off actually and very stupid. She standing with a knife watching them sleep? Look how tiny she is wtf. All dwarfs who are in their 30s have wrinkles.
@@donnab.333 She wasn't in thirty homes. she was sent from the orphanage, got into one home where they gave her up because they didn't want a disabled child and went to the banards,
You can see she must have been a child because of how much her face has matured between the photos taken of her by her adoptive parents and this interview. I think there’s probably a chance she did have violent tendencies that needed to be looked into and she probably needed a lot of therapy though.
She was disabled and defenseless and brought into the home of two adults who showed her nothing but contempt. Two adults who had a history of violence according to police reports. She slept with knives under her bed bc she was so scared of her adoptive parents. The girl can barely walk and the "dad" is constantly towering over her and interrogating her. She was abused by them, the proof is there. They made her sleep in the street too. If the girl was a but messed up its bc of the toxic environment they created and the fact she was never shown love. She is now doing well with new parents who actually care for her.
Yeah let's not talk about the many many tax liens against the Barnett's. The huge financial debt they were in before they adopted her. Also let's not talk about the crazy eyes that the adoptive father has.
If she's a child then I'm Barrack Obama. okay I get it guys, and i know what dwarfism is, i sincerely apologize if my comment offended any of you. have a nice day!
Right... so were just not going to believe a bone scan done by a medical professional that can be back by the parents shes with now. people just love the killer dwarf narrative. poor little girl.
@@francesbinkin786 This response was for the original comment. I think you're just agreeing with doctor phill. Again, there are medical documents provided by a bone scan, done by a medical professional. This being said, it can also be backed by the parents she with now. So the medical doctor was wrong? So the parents she with now are lying? If so, what are their motives?
Eye shifting means nothing. Lots of people speak slow and concise because brains move faster than mouths (or at least they're supposed to). The main thing is blink rate and a reoccurring quirk or tell.
I feel bad for her. Imagine people telling you that you are a kindergartner and your menstruating. It's possible that she has no idea how old she is herself. When people tell you that you are two years old and you are possibly going through puberty, it can be confusing. I hope they are able to re-age her to the correct age.
Aleksandar Samardzic “some people theorize” lmao give me a break, she’s got the body of a child but the face of a 30 yr old. Looks like she successfully scammed you.
Sophiaprogamer 12 Oh for Pete’s sake! She started losing baby teeth at age 6 like most everyone does. Her adult teeth growing in are visible in the pics. Her face is a baby face. Barnetts are liars
I agree, something is off with this girl. The mother described very specific situations where the girl tried to harm her family. And he can play detective all he wants . That’s what this video is for.
From these comments you lot obviously did NOT watch the documentary. Natalia WAS a child when they adopted her. Her biological mum was found and said when she was born. These parents who adopted her ABUSED her psychologically, lied about her, had so much contempt for her, made her sleep outside, intimidated her, even after they abandoned her they continued to control her. They showed no compassion for her and did not meet her needs all bc they wanted a younger child. Its not her fault she had been abandoned in an orphanage and didn't even knw her own bday. She was never shown real love until the new family she has now who are Christians.
Why would anyone admit to standing over someone asleep with a knife on television.

*Natalyah dental records proved in Court she had all 32 adult teeth as of January 2012- when she was supposed to be 7 years old*
*In May 2010* 3 weeks after consenting to adopt Natalyah - Barnett's take her to the Children's Dental Center - Natalyah X-rays showed she had 20 teeth *ALL* were *FRONT SECONDARY PERMANENT ADULT TEETH* ....Children's Dental Center referred the Barnett's to a different Dentist - The Indiana Superior COurt Subpoena the Children's Dental Center and their Records and X-rays in February 2022 - Please see Court Documents located at Tippecanoe County Records Website Search
*In May 2011* Kristine takes Natalyah to Dr Gossweiler ( as seen on documentary) - Dr Gossweiler is impressed how well spoken she is to be 6 years old - then he examines her teeth, what he showed us on documentary was an Xray of teeth that were erupting in the last quadrant/ back area of her mouth and said she had 12 primary teeth started to erupt - at bottom and top back area of mouth........ what Dr Gossweiler did not inform us was that *4 OF THE TEETH IN LAST QUADRANT AREA OF HER MOUTH WAS WISDOM TEETH* and wisdom teeth are not considered Primary so she only had 8 teeth erupting into secondary teeth at the time ......Also if you saw the Documentary you would have saw Dr. Gossweiler Examination Note he had it dated for May 08. 2011 - and he wrote: *The mom brought her in wanted to have teeth examined, I don't know how old PT (patient) really is but I estimated her to be between 8-11 years* *PT has strong vocabulary, and PT suffers from* *Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia*
Indiana Superior Court Subpoena Dr Gossweiler as of February 2022 and they have the X-rays and Dental record from this dental visit
*JANUARY 2012* Barnett's take Natalyah to her last dental visit - Xrays showed that all 32 of her teeth were Secondary Permanent Adult Teeth- this includes her Wisdom Teeth. ..Indiana Superior Court has the Dental Xrays and Dental record from this dental visit as well -
Natalyah supposedly had just turned 7 years old 4 months prior and she already had all of her *ADULT TEETH INCLUDING WISDOM TEETH*
For a Case like this the United States Court System *will use the last Dental Record* to make a determination ...not pull from the middle or top ......Dr Gossweiler Dental record proved nothing in the documentary but that he is a liar and did not tell the truth about Natalyah's Xray ..... *Natalyah last dental record at supposedly 7 years old showed she had all 32 Adult Teeth including wisdom teeth too* There is proof EVIDENCE of this that the Indiana Court System have in their files.
She was scamming that couple. She's so clearly NOT a child.
Wrong. She WAS proven to be born in 2003. She WAS a child.@@ruthtallmer9506
They've proven she was born in 2003. Regardless of anything she's said or done and whether you like her or not, and no matter what size you think her teeth are, she was born in 2003. The investigators went to the Ukraine and collected DNA and pulled her birth certificate. People's reaction is like witch hunt. So bizarre. I feel so sorry for her. Shame on the Barnetts. Such shameful behavior on so many levels.
She was kicked out of several houses because of violence and a six year old doesn’t have pubic hair. I feel bad that these parents were so happy to adopt a child and now their lives are ruined because they had extra love!
@@snowjewel3982 if it's even true, she probably kept the knives under her bed for protection from the abuse she suffered from the Barnetts!! Horrible people!!!
@@snowjewel3982 my 4 year old was born with pubic hair. It can be caused by excess hormones.
@@snowjewel3982 She was not kicked out of several houses! She was in foster homes, which means temporary babysitters, paid by the government as a job, who don't want much work taking care of a crippled dwarf child who has to be lifted to reach everything and cannot walk or stand without pain, needing crutches or a walker, and sometimes a wheelchair to rest.
@snowjewel3982 The first family who adopted her at age 4 wanted a polite, calm, feminine girl. She had learned in the orphanage to be a rowdy, rambunctious tomboy, who played too rough. One day, while wrestling with the boy who was about her age, she landed on his arm the wrong way, almost breaking it. The adoptive mother was sick of the rowdiness and gave her up to be a ward of the state, being put in foster homes to temporarily babysit her and being available for permanent adoption.
She sounds, looks and acts like a 30 year old woman
I thought that too, but she's also had a rough life and that DOES force kids to grow up pretty fast....

@@teresahowick5197 That's just how the legal system works. Any case involving a minor, their names and pictures of them can't be made public if it's in relation to an investigation.

just by looking at her face you can see how much she's grown, her features are completely different, the people that adopted her never wanted to have a daughter, they wanted money and fame, look at their history. I cannot fathom how so many adults let that child suffer at that young age. She was left alone at one point, they tried to fake her age and abandon her to leave the problem behind

If an adult lies about their age and claims to be a child - you call a lawyer and child protective services. If a child or adult tries to harm you again you call child protective services. Whether they're disabled or abled you call child protective services... You do NOT set them up with a place and bounce and assume there's no responsibility 😳

why blur her childhood face in those photos while she is talking in front of the camera now? isn't it kinda important to show how she looked like in the past in the case?
Shiyi Yang exactly
It was probably a blurred photo when they got it
There are photos printed, I think the daily mail had them up, they're not blurred and she does look younger but not dramatically
They probably blurred it for TV purposes. The court likely has the original, unblurred photos.
There’s these things called laws, that people have to follow. It’s illegal to show the face of minors.
Bro she looks the same as she did when she was “6” how tf is she now “14” she looks 30
She’s 16 now
And her real parents did the real trick...I think her former parents are not lying....may be she is actually harmful...and that's why her real parents just put her in the adoption agency without any reason...may be they knew that no one will gonna believe them
Edit Me her real parents put her in a adoption agency because they couldn’t pay for medical problems.
spongeboob I read online that she actually is 30
Noelyn She is apparently 30 but no the parents that adopted her pushed her age up from to 8 to 22. Now 8 years later she’s apparently 30. But her real age is 16
I tried watching the documentary on HBO and I couldn’t get past the first few minutes of the adoptive father speaking. He’s the one that looks psycho. He’s as good an actor as any kid on a teen Disney show!

I watched the entire episode and I believe the child. The adoptive father was a great actor....even the first son admitted that the mother terrorized the child, even had him pee on her bed. How sick is that. Those parents are evil and should be in jail. Even if she was 50 years old, she does not have the physical ability to be on her own in a second floor apartment. Would they treat their biology children in that manner? Shame on them
Same.
I too watched the documentary and I believe her.
I agree. She was abused and the Barnetts should be charged for what they did to Natalia.
The child was diagnosed as a psychopath independent of the Barnetts. She bragged to neighbors about wanting to kill her family. She called 911 to report that she wanted to kill a neighbor family. Kristine wasn’t there when Natalia made that call. The Barnetts took Natalia to multiple doctors and mental health facilities. Natalia would urinate on her littlest brother and smear feces on him. I think the Barnetts really didn’t know how to handle this disgusting behavior. Did you get the idea that Jacob lived in that dark ugly basement. He doesn’t. The documentary wanted us to believe that Jacob had regressed to the point where he lived in that basement. Jacob has a PhD and his own apartment and a job. Don’t trust everything about that documentary.
@@helenstockman3499 The boy said that Mrs. Barnett forced him to urinate on Natalia's bed, so it would be likely that the victim would retaliate with urine or feces. They deserved it.
The incredible thing about this story is that she found herself a home and for six years (date of this video) she's been integrated into this family. I would love to see an update of this.
You can see the difference now. Natalia has proper shoes, a walker, a wheelchair, and nice clothes… That family is a blessing
Still with her true family. Not from their blood, not from their bone, but she is their daughter, finally home (9yrs!)
@Cody Carr that’s more down to the mounds of money she’s making on interviews lol. Had you actually sat through the entire series like the rest of us who are smarter than to comment on TH-cam before actually watching the show…you’d know that she gets a hefty Social Security check every month which this new family has asked her to *sign over to them* and they have chosen not to formally adopt her but rather just become her legal financial guardians. I guess the term *red flag* is new to you. So yeah ….not so sure about your happy family theory….
@@ns2110theonly mounds of money? How much do you think social security gives? And if you watched to documentary you would know that a.) They spent the money at the grocery store, b,) Natalia clearly has medical equipment that she didn’t have before, c.) this lady and her husband clearly love her, and d.) Natalia is happy… If they were just after the money then she would be in the same miserable situation as before. And you obviously didn’t catch that she’s legally 30 something years old so she can’t be adopted… Seems like you just want to be a miserable person who wants everyone else’s to be miserable. And that IS a red flag
@@ns2110theonly its typical for ukranian, they like to kill and hate their benefactors' guts well at least 60% of them. This is what they do for centuries!!! This is what even Otto Von Bismarck wrote about them to german nation. Quote " there is nothing more vile and disgusting than so called ukranians...most of all they hate those who did them good..." Especially they love to stab with knives. There are many stories of ukranian refugees around internet now that are silenced by the mainstream media because they like to pose them as victims of agressions. They do kill and poison a lot. On top of knives action they love to hang victims on ropes, set them on fire, shock with electricity and use chainsaws. Example a girl 8 was stabbed over 70 times in County clare in Ireland, UK, it is still " under investigation" because it was her own mother stabbing her. Then Irish women called to radio shows saying ukranian kids are threatening and stabbing their Irish kids!!! Same in Poland, Germany and everywhere else they go. They like to appear as victims and this appeals to male gender sexual instincts, they want to defend the victim, they do exploit it as its their national sport to seduce men this way!

It may be due to the rare medical so it doesn't mean that she's older.
She absolutely knows how old she is. Dr Phil being a “medical professional” not seeing this is a grown person, is scary.

Dr Phil pretends to know everything. I disagree with him most of the times. It’s only his opinions.
She is not 16.
Dr Phil lost his damn mind!!!!
She’s not 30 lmao
with how she’s aged since, i believe her, if you’ve seen interviews of the adoptive father giving his side of the story he seems so incredibly off. lying or not you shouldn’t leave someone whose dependent on others alone in an apartment, especially if said person can’t even reach the counters. if they had that big of an issue with her they could’ve put her in foster care/ adoption or therapy.
I think Michael visited weekly while the family lived nearby. The neighbors said so. If he understood doctors at hospital found her to be an adult....dangerous....., why would he ....how could he...treat her as a child. Do SSI rules change when one becomes an adult? Legally, is she still an adult?
@@cpainstructoractually the opposite the test results showed that she was indeed still a child when she was left to live alone and on top of that the mother 100% knew that she was a little girl because they took her to the dentist in 2006 and it showed that she still had baby teeth with her adult teeth coming in right under

@First Last it's way too rare to be a sane and logical response to OP dumbass
First Last ThAt is extremely, extremely rare for even precocious puberty. But for somebody with dwarfism to experience that is next to unheard of. It affects their development and usually stunts their sexual development as well.
Our Darling Angel It’s extremely rare and you don’t have to go back to the 30’s for extreme cases however....dwarfism. It’s nearly unheard of as it also hinders sexual maturation. It affects your hormonal development and slows down to much that the chances are slim to none.
Y'all should watch the documentary if you still side with the Barnett's. They are not good people and they abused this girl.
Looking at the comments 4 years ago vs 1 year ago is so funny to me 🤣
“Hey honey let’s go the the other side of the world and adopt a dwarf named Natalia just so we can set her up for trying to kill us.”
Sounds fishy
exactly, why go through all of that trouble lol. I don't see why they'd have a reason to lie.
The family was notified by an adoption agency in FA because the family with dwarfism that originally wanted her backed out of the adoption. The whole story is fishy and just keeps getting stranger and stranger....
They didn't travel abroad to adopt her. She came to the US when she was small and was bounced around in the system and the Barnett's adopted her without ever even seeing her.
When I first heard this story about a month ago, I believed the parents. Not now. For one, there's a picture of her, when they claimed she was 20 and she said she was 8 and she was missing her front teeth. It's perfectly common for an 8 year old. For a 20 year old... Not so much.
The Barnett's have adopted children who are geniuses. They use them almost like prizes to show off and push them really hard in academia. If Natalia wasn't up to snuff by their standards, that's an excuse to abandon her. Plus, they say she's an evil dwarf trying to kill them AND she's an adult scam artist posing as a child? Sounds a little far fetched. I mean, friggin pick one
But she grew. Are you going to ignore that the dwarf girl they adopted have changed a lot from the early pics of her (like everybody who grows from a baby to an adult). She is not a grown adult in any picture. Doctors tested her also. Not to mention, if she was a fully grown adult when they adopted her, she wouldn't have grown so much. This kid shouldn't be going through that.
You do realize that people get money for adopting? Especially when you adopt a special needs child. Did the family continue taking this money even though she lived on her own? I'd like to know. Sadly, there has been cases where someone adopts a child just to get money from that state.
She behaves like an adult. She looks like shes in her 30s.
She is😂
Shes a child.
She DEFINITELY looks 30s
Atypical Black Beetle she looks every bit of 35
The way she speaks and the way she looks... there’s no way she’s a child.

THEY LITERALLY DID THE DNA TEST. Her mother would have been 10 years old if she was born in 1989.
The justice system was so messed in this situation.
Also, the adoptive dad is some clear coke head.
She's supposed to have a condition that makes her look younger but she looks like she's 30.. it's obvious she's no child
yeeehhaaaw Dwarfism doesn’t make you look younger on the contrary it makes you look older and comes with other disabilities and ailments that can for instance can make one experience puberty at a younger age than other kids.
She clearly has the condition though ? She's clearly profoundly effected by dwarfism..... So you're simply saying based on the facts someone is lying or not they can look young???? Your statement doesn't really make sense because she clearly has dwarfism by you're saying she's supposed to look young and she doesn't??? So it seems like you're saying "because she's a liar she doesn't look young but if she wasn't a liar she would look young"? I don't think a diagnosis would be flexible like that..... It doesn't just flip to one side or another based on a person being a liar or not. I think the reason why people are thinking she looks older is because of her strong bone features.... She has a prominent nose..... If she had softer features people would perceive her as younger.
That family has taken in and adopted numerous children and given them a loving home for years. Then all of a sudden they decide to abandon one? Yeah right I don't believe it. I think they are correct.
mark bennett, exactly from interviews I’ve seen they seem like decent ppl. The father stated that when they moved to Canada they left bc their son was attending college @ 14! They had to be doing a lot of things right IMO.
Agree
But they did it...the abandoned this girl.
I mean, she has severe disabilities.. it’s not uncommon for children with disabilities like her’s to keep going around the foster care system. So maybe they got tired of all the care they have to provide her
I believe them too,she looks shady
I looked 25 at 14… and was told so! People can look older than they are, she deserved so much better!
I had my fully mature, adult face by 14. At 11, 12, and 13, even though my face was only mostly mature, many people thought that I was in my twenties.
My sister also had her fully mature adult face by 14, just as I had. My sister's face looked mostly mature by 11, 12, and 13, so many people thought she was in her twenties then.
No she didn’t she’s a liar fraud and tried to murder them. Poor family
That's a lie. I've never EVER seen any 14yo looking above 20. It's literally impossible.
She sound like a nightmare! Like needs psychiatric care. Dr. Phil has turned into a hack!
the people who think she's an adult are completely crazy, her former adoptive parents should be charged and the judge who agreed to change her age should be demoted
But the language that she was using is that of an adult. And she was old enough to know that if they found out that she had a period, that would reveal that she’s older that’s what is lead to believe. If a child was bleeding, they would run and tell their parents immediately so the fact that she hid her period for 3 months is telling. A child wouldn’t know how to conceal a secret like that. Her birth certificate may have said she was born in 2003, but she knew she wasn’t! And she was trying to molest children when she moved into her first apartment. Not to mention, she was trying to give the staff at the mental institution sexual favors and that’s the reason why she got kicked out.

Late 20s actually .
I’m not saying I believe or disbelieve anything about this whole thing but I just want to say that people with some forms of dwarfism or even people just with different conditions may sound older or younger due to their condition.

Lmao the amount of people here thinking she’s a grown woman pretending to be a child in this interview is wild. She’s already 16 of course she already grown after the Barnetts. It happened yrs ago before this interview and if u have time go for a quick research you’ll find proofs that she really was born 2003 instead of making up theories like damn. The families before and after the Barnetts never had a problem with her like have u seen the docu in ID?? the dad is cookoo!!
She doesnt even look like a kid. She looks like a grown woman with dwarfism
By "grown woman with dwarfism" you mean in the sense of "creepy little goblinesque troll from some fairytale book to keep kids awake at night", interpretitivly speaking, right?
@No diggity You do realise that's offensive coz everyone looks different everyone grows different its like making fun of someone for their weight or height but in this case hight, medical problems and looks and that's just rude and we dont know shes a grown woman. I have people at my school who look like they could be teachers but they arent so stop guessing peoples ages etc from how they look. I'm aware this is long when I'm annoyed with something someone's said I write lots.
@@poppyxx1855 Are you done?
@@nodiggity9472 nasty
It was confirmed with a dna test that shes really born in 2003
Hold up the title says WOMAN.... the mystery is solved.
Lol that's what I thought.
Maliza Maria right
ABC dont care about woman, they had a story of a convicted pedophile and failed to report it now 3 years later it finally come out and now they avoid it, ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE !! th-cam.com/video/3lfwkTsJGYA/w-d-xo.html
@@carphotography WHY are you rambling and raving on? Your accusations have nothing to do with this story. Could it be you have something against ABC, for saying something you despised? "ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE", my goodness you sound so bitter. You remind me of old what's his name, that keeps bellowing out "FAKE NEWS", because he is so bitter.
You're a true detective!
You can see in the documentary that the police went to Ukarine, where she is from, and took a DNA test on her birth mother that proved she was her mother. If the girl should have been 22 as they said and not 6, her mother would have been 10 years when she had her. So it seems like she was a child after all, even if she lookd older. The whole sing is so wierd.
No WAY ,she is 16. She looks/acts 26
Her: “I’m 16”
6ixnine: “no you ain’t”
😂😂😂 this need to be top comment
Lol best joke ever 🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣😂😭
S. Lmao
She looks like she’s around her late 20s, she’s definitely not 16.
Some people look older than they really are..
Whatsup yeah, but really? 16?
Ok expert
Dumbass..... I'm 17 but people mistake me for looking and sounding like I'm in my mid 20's.
Oh..another idiot.
They got her from adoption center how in hell they are blaming this on her. What did they think to get when they adopted a child with dwarfism? And why were they blaming her?
Maybe she didn’t know her age, the medical examiner can determine that.
I think those so called adoptive parents realized what kind of commitment they got themselves into, so they decided to smear her to get out of responsibility.
First of all Phil lost his license 20 years ago so he's not a doctor, second of all, how can you possibly believe that she had 30 foster parents at the age of 6 and we only know of 3.
let's get interviews with the 30 families that she's been with!!!
Melissa Moonfire There’s an interview with her previous guardians who have photos of her losing teeth and adult teeth coming through.
@@Lonelystar_xoxo, What's the title of one of the videos ? I want to see it/them because I think the girl is lying and these people are taking a hit. I need for her to be admitted into any CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL for a full battery of tests.

Do little digging it won't hurt anybody... she's been to college of those ( three missing years ) look it up. she's not a child prodigy she is a liar and sociopath highly dangerous!!!!!!! Ukraine is known to mess up birth certificates look it up she is playing the role of a victim which she is not.... disgusting how some of people believe this story as if she is child.. Research & DEEP digging you would know she's not a child.. Good Day
The college that she went to (Adults only) Research is Key...
I think that she is lying. Send her to the ranch with hidden cams
😭😭😭😭🤣😂😂😂😂
ram ranch?
Pakiki The Super Saiyan 😂😂
Itz the ranch.. but with a twist
The cruelty of the people that were supposed to care for her is unforgivable
She is a sociopath though..
@@milamaximova8288 No, Natalia is not a sociopath.
Ho can you explain the clear difference between her and the little girl same age, they took to play with her?
@@elchatodeoro1 That blonde girl is the biological daughter of the dwarf couple who live in Albany, N.Y.! They didn't "take her;" they gave birth to her.
@@elchatodeoro1 They look different because Natalia's ancestry is Ukrainian (Eastern European), unlike the Northwestern European ancestry of the family in Albany.
It's very obvious that the girl was just a child when being adopted and is at the correct age. Prove? There's a photo of her losing a tooth when being adopted. Another prove? Look how different she is right now compared to her in the photos. Only puberty can cause drastic changes. If she were already an adult when being adopted, she wouldn't look any different than how she is right now.
Did he really expect her to say yes when asking about the knife? lol
shayne emmert: you are missing the point of asking the question in the first place.
he is not interested in hearing the answer, he knows what she is going to say, he is reading her body language when she says it. it is a common police tactic.
@@MarksREmarks and its never going to matter unless there is solid evidence or she admits it. wow so intelligent so smart so unique
Shayne Emmert
Way to go, shayne
NO but hes adding pressure and looking for lying ques
Can you imagine?she is an adult
"WOMAN at the center of adoption scandal speaks out"
I see what y'all did there. 😂😂😂😂
Yeah she's a woman now but most likely not when she was adopted or abandoned.
@@bloodycinephile according to her she's still a teenager though. 🤷🏽♀️
@@indiashante1560 Yes but we can't figure out her age exactly so she most likely is anywhere from late teen to early 20s now. Definitely not a fully grown adult when she was first adopted.
India Shanté Literally I was like oh y’all figured that out only then to realize that that they didn’t
Dr. Phil throws some trees shade 🤣🤣🤣
her adoptive (abusing) parents should be arrested!And the judge who agreed to change her age should be demoted!!
Her biological mom just proved she’s 19 now, 3 years later. Whaddya know. Her mom was born in 1979 and the judge ruled she was born in 1989, so she would have been 10 while pregnant with her second daughter, and pictures show that’s not the case.
“She speaks english pretty well”. Well ya shes had like 30 years to learn it 😂
😂😂😐
😭
Lmfaooo
She speaks a little english alright.
@Kadie Ghannam Rateb ok
Real life “Orphan” movie. That woman looks 36 minimum
The movie orpahn came out a year before this, the former adoptive parents are full of shit, they had her age evaluated multiple times and only when they got the desired results did they then have her age changed. It's possible the girl did some malicious shit that had them concerned, but kids do shit like that all the time.
@@tty23 What kind of people do you hang out with. My brother and sister didn't ever do anything to hurt our parents and neither did our children. All kids and most kids don't act like that..
@@taunjabrockway6760 The girl has been through 30 different foster parents, some that were abusive, it is actually very common behaviour for children who have experienced trauma at an early age to do things like that. Not saying it's ok but it also means she needs help if she was acting out that way. Children don't have the capacity to think ahead and foresee consequences, that's why we don't usually hold them accountable for certain things. I totally agree with @tty23 seems like the adoptive parents watched the movie and were determined to re-enact it in their own lives, probably for the attention. Even if she was older than stated, she is still severely disabled and dumping her like they did is neglect and abuse of a person with a disability. They both need to be held accountable for what they have done to this poor girl.
Um
@@taunjabrockway6760 not all, but defiantly some. Keep in mind she grew up in an orphanage and was passed around to different families, so lashing out and doing other things might be par the course.
Something isn't right about the girl why did she lie and say she was 6 years old in the first place.
“i’m 16” looking 30
Maybe she was born on FEBRUARY 29th
LOL my mom was born in leap year.. God rest her soul. Love you Mom....
You're onto something.

Let’s see here, she’s not a child and Dr. Phil ain’t a Doctor. Okay I got it.
Check, check!
Next video..
Dr Phil is a doctor wdym
Yup
@@kingamire4028 ok hes not a md just like bill ney the science guy isnt a scientist
@@Ojthemighty he still is a doctor, not a physician tho
Uh they already proved that she was born in 2003. They found her birth mother in Ukraine who was 41 at the time and she took a DNA test proving she was the birth mother and she had the records that proved she gave birth to a female child with dwarfism in 2003. You can clearly see in the photos of her when they first got her that she was a child with baby teeth. Not to mention there are records of her having growth plates at the time (something only children have) I also don't know what yall are on about saying she looks/sounds like a 33 yo. She doesn't. She looks like a teenager with dwarfism.
Why does the headline read "woman" at the adoption speaks out? She is SIXTEEN, she IS a CHILD.
This is a old video from 4 years ago and Natitayla is 20 years old now. She was born in 2003 according to her Birth certificate records.
She's a grown ass women she's not 16 years old.
Agreed, that is not a child. See has a promising future in the adult film industry though.
Ikram Ullah WTF
Coco lmaoo😂😂😂😂😂
No.... Do your research and you'll find damning evidence that she speaks the truth. She was in fact born on Sept 4th 2003.
She is 31
- "Did you try to kill your parents?"
- "No"
Judge : "Innocent"
"justice"
🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣😂😂😂😂😂
Adoptive parents:”she put clear tacks on the stairs”
Hysteria: “she’s a killer!”
Anyone with a brain: “stupidity”
naldinet200 you must not have heard about how she was hiding knives under her bed or how she took her siblings toys and threw them into traffic so they’d go running into it trying to harm or kill them
Veronica Gonzalez I did hear about that, but I don’t necessarily believe that actually happened. People can lie
naldinet200 so can this woman
Ya'll who said she was an adult, YOU WERE WRONG. Maybe you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.
She's a diagnosed sociopathic monster, so there's that. Even Dr Phil would conveniently skip over that fact to fit his narrative about her "innocence" in all of this.
@@brett19890Where has she ever been diagnosed as having ASPD, especially in light of the Barnetts outright admitting that most of what they claimed Natalia did is a lie?
They found her biological mother in Russia and her mother would have had to have at 10 years old. She was a child.
If she was in a taller body she would looks like she about to turn 30
YES she has the face of a grown ass woman. I have no idea how people can think she's a child.
That’s a grown ass woman. She scammed those people.
@@harri7014 th-cam.com/video/D9dH4_JWeRc/w-d-xo.html bc shes clearly 16 N WAS A CHILD back then. Families have come out n said she wasnt evil
She definitely looks older than 16. Her mannerisms and facial expressions are very adult as well.
@@tiffanimcmillian3058 nah
They said when they took her to elementary School she was having full grown conversations with the teacher like she was a mom😹😹
Lmaoooo
andoo ugo LMFAOAOAO MANEEE 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣😂😂

That's me 😂😂
The Neighbors at the Apartment complex where her adoptive parents left her said she admitted to trying to kill her adoptive parents and their kid. They said she would act provocative towards men and boys. They basically banned her from coming to their homes
Exactly. That's not a child behavior. Pubic hair, breasts, and her sex drive. Thr neighbours confirmed the breasts and the behavior. C'mon. This is no child.
I'm so sorry you had to go through. Those people needs to be in jail
*There’s something super off about her. Something is definitely not right.*
Splash Attack TCG i get the same feeling- She throws off a bad vibe!
She has no wrinkles. You're all off actually and very stupid. She standing with a knife watching them sleep? Look how tiny she is wtf. All dwarfs who are in their 30s have wrinkles.
You're right. Something is off about her. They just stated their was some violence in all of the 30 homes she was in.
@@donnab.333 She wasn't in thirty homes. she was sent from the orphanage, got into one home where they gave her up because they didn't want a disabled child and went to the banards,
If she had violence, in every home, she was the cuase!!
She doesn’t look 16, she looks like mid 20s, something isn’t right
Marisa Wren Yeah right, come to my school the males have full beards and the females look 30.
Have you seen her tooth pictures? Probably not
Some people just age fast.
@@PedroEmanuelMusic exactly! Why are people rushing to judgement? Adults don't grow, people. She grew while she was with this family!
Looks 16 to me.
You can see she must have been a child because of how much her face has matured between the photos taken of her by her adoptive parents and this interview.
I think there’s probably a chance she did have violent tendencies that needed to be looked into and she probably needed a lot of therapy though.
She was disabled and defenseless and brought into the home of two adults who showed her nothing but contempt. Two adults who had a history of violence according to police reports. She slept with knives under her bed bc she was so scared of her adoptive parents. The girl can barely walk and the "dad" is constantly towering over her and interrogating her. She was abused by them, the proof is there. They made her sleep in the street too. If the girl was a but messed up its bc of the toxic environment they created and the fact she was never shown love. She is now doing well with new parents who actually care for her.
Abused child often have violent tendencies! Her adoptive parents are guilty!
Yeah let's not talk about the many many tax liens against the Barnett's. The huge financial debt they were in before they adopted her. Also let's not talk about the crazy eyes that the adoptive father has.
If she's a child then I'm Barrack Obama.
okay I get it guys, and i know what dwarfism is, i sincerely apologize if my comment offended any of you. have a nice day!
She is not 16 but she is not 33 in Ukraine they could have screwed up her certificate she is probably 18
Right... so were just not going to believe a bone scan done by a medical professional that can be back by the parents shes with now. people just love the killer dwarf narrative. poor little girl.
Gabrielle Brightwell I agree she is not a killer I’m just sayin she might just not now her age
@@francesbinkin786 This response was for the original comment. I think you're just agreeing with doctor phill. Again, there are medical documents provided by a bone scan, done by a medical professional. This being said, it can also be backed by the parents she with now. So the medical doctor was wrong? So the parents she with now are lying? If so, what are their motives?
Gabrielle Brightwell not lying bone fragments between close ages can be very similar for example when I was six I did a bone scan and it said I was 5
She looks like she's lying. Speaking slow. Unsure of her responses and shifting eye movement.
Hell no
@@kermitthefrog3490 go Kermit sewer side lol jk
Eye shifting means nothing. Lots of people speak slow and concise because brains move faster than mouths (or at least they're supposed to). The main thing is blink rate and a reoccurring quirk or tell.
She is lying look at her . she should have been grateful to those people
I feel bad for her. Imagine people telling you that you are a kindergartner and your menstruating. It's possible that she has no idea how old she is herself. When people tell you that you are two years old and you are possibly going through puberty, it can be confusing. I hope they are able to re-age her to the correct age.
They defiantly abused her
Bro they interviewed her biological mother her birthday is sept of 2003 from her mothers mouth
She scammed the family, now she’s trying to scam us.
Aleksandar Samardzic “some people theorize” lmao give me a break, she’s got the body of a child but the face of a 30 yr old. Looks like she successfully scammed you.
Sophiaprogamer 12 Oh for Pete’s sake! She started losing baby teeth at age 6 like most everyone does. Her adult teeth growing in are visible in the pics. Her face is a baby face. Barnetts are liars
Aleksandar Samardzic looks like she scammed you
Aleksandar Samardzic no she scammed you and the Barnet’s. She not eight.
Aleksandar Samardzic she still technically scammed them. She’s sixteen, two years she was fourteen. Not 6.
She seems like she’s lying about something on what I don’t know.
Street Art VR 360 Don’t try to be mr.detective, you don’t know shit about what she’s saying.
@@navarrettte8165 unless you speak English...
Her just saying some things happened and they started questioning my age. Like, what happened? I agree. There's something she isn't telling.
I agree, something is off with this girl. The mother described very specific situations where the girl tried to harm her family. And he can play detective all he wants . That’s what this video is for.
no u no not really
From these comments you lot obviously did NOT watch the documentary. Natalia WAS a child when they adopted her. Her biological mum was found and said when she was born. These parents who adopted her ABUSED her psychologically, lied about her, had so much contempt for her, made her sleep outside, intimidated her, even after they abandoned her they continued to control her. They showed no compassion for her and did not meet her needs all bc they wanted a younger child. Its not her fault she had been abandoned in an orphanage and didn't even knw her own bday. She was never shown real love until the new family she has now who are Christians.
Cept her biological mom said her age she was born 2003 Dr Phil so she does know her real age
