What are your thoughts on the Natalia Grace case? Let us know in the comments.

[Starsheen]

The little people who were going to adopt Natalia before the Barnetts had pictures of her with baby teeth. She has clearly grown since her interview with Dr. Phil. The Barnetts got away with terrible abuse.

[kpkelsey]

Best part of this entire docu series is Michael doing his best Meryl Streep impressions. That man is ridiculously dramatic.

[thehuntsman]

I can't believe her adoptive parents got away with it. It has been proven that she was underage when they abandoned her in an apartment in another country. Natalia needs to sue the crap out of her adoptive parents and especially the judge who changed her age in the first place. She is the victim!

[JR-ghlp]

Absolutely yes, how can Natalia trust people? She was abandoned by her biological mother, then adopted, then abandoned and left alone at 9 years old in an apartment. She can only depend on herself.

[geraltofrivian]

She was obviously child because she got bigger, and looks more like an adult now than she did 10 years ago. The Barnets were just crazy people that took in a girl that had mental issues as well. I hope that she can find peace and they get charged with something.

[trinaq]

Poor Natalia Grace, it's sickening that her adoptive parents would lie about her age, and then abandon her because of her condition. I hope that she has a better future ahead of her.

[Courtneybenson]

Now that her age has been proven, I’m surprised she hasn’t sued the Barnett’s for what they did to her.

[bethdabruzzo]

Talk about a complete failure of the court system. Unbelievable that a judge would re-age Natalia from an 8 year old to a 22 year old on hearsay. No actual evidence was presented. WTF?? I hope Natalia can heal & that the Barnett's can be held accountable somehow.

[johntyson]

Took me 5 seconds of seeing Michael Barnett speak to figure out that he’s a nut.

[SammySlammerB]

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.

[sambam]

I Absolutely LOATHE the 'father' of this family. He knew exactly what was going on and covered for his wife and exaggerated whatever he needed for his weirdo attention seeking ass. The 'mother' belongs in jail. I hope natalya is at peace and is happy.

[rydbthatsme]

She was a child the whole time, case closed, they both deserve to be in jail, so disgusting!

[alexanderhikel]

I watched the full series with my wife and I really have no idea what is 100% true but this girl was definitely abused and she might of just turned out crazy because of that abuse

[RosesAreRed]

Natalia grace is a victim. And nobody deserves that abuse. Now she's about 20-something. Michael is a liar and he had something to do with it. I'm glad she's with a family who loves her for who she is.

[serialkillerbarb]

some people who adopt or foster kids are so evil

[Prismalpink]

How the hell can you pay to change someone’s age?? Absolutely insane. I can’t believe money makes that possible

[aaliyahImpersonator]

Poor girl couldn’t even hardly walk. Let alone run after somebody with a knife. Come on now. 😢 by the way any real adult knows a child when they see one she was a kiddo !

[RebeccaLihong]

OMG! I hate this man. I dont believe a single word he said. He and his wife are equally guilty

[boober]

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.
