The parents have claimed their adopted daughter was an adult posing as a child.

If you've managed to keep up with the never-ending news cycle lately, you might have seen a wild story making the rounds. On Monday, the Daily Mail published a piece about a couple who adopted a daughter, only to later claim that the girl in question was actually an adult pretending to be a child and trying to kill family members.

Police say that from 2013 to 2016, the Barnetts didn't support Natalia financially while she lived alone in an apartment in Indiana and they were in Canada, where they had moved so their son, Jacob, could attend a specialized school. What the Barnetts SayKristine and Michael Barnett say they're victims of fraud — and claim that throughout her time with them, Natalia terrorized the family.

Natalia was then placed in a psychiatric unit at a hospital after she tried to drag Kristine into an electric fence in 2012, and during her treatment, she allegedly told a clinical therapist that she was 18, and described to staff how she had tried to kill family members and had no remorse about it.
