Horror film in real life! Couple adopts 6-year-old girl, finds out she is 22, and wants to kill them!
Home > News Shots > World newsThose who watched the movie Orphan will know how scary it was and how we all freaked out. However, a couple has experienced the movie in their life now.
A couple, Kristine and Michael Barnett, who have 3 sons, adopted a 6-year-old Ukrainian-born girl named Natalia Grace in 2006. Later in the year 2013, the couple was charged for abandoning her and going to Canada.
The couple, in their defence, said that she wasn't a kid but a 22-year-old woman with dwarfism. They also alleged that she was trying to kill them.
After adoption, the couple figured out that she could not walk. Though the adoption papers didn't specify it, the couple decided to raise her regardless her disability.
One day when they were at the beach, she insisted her father to take her to play in the waves with the boys. They asked her to wait, but she just got up and ran towards the waves. That was the first time they got suspicious as she was not able to walk earlier.
The mother also noticed that the kid had full pubic hair unlike a 6-year-old and also found blood-stained clothes which she thought was period blood. She also had perfect vocabulary, and preferred talking to older people than children.
Then the couple decided to get tests done and her bone density proved to be 14 years or older. Later, she started attacking the mother by pushing her into electric fence, trying to poison her, leaving death threats in blood, etc.
The couple sought psychiatric treatment for her in 2012 where she allegedly admitted that she is 22 years old. The couple also found out that she was infact born in 1989. She is now under treatment.
