Picture this. A compassionate and loving Christian couple adopts a sweet little girl only to discover she is actually an adult sociopath deceiving everyone to believe that she is a child.

It sounds like the making of a horror movie, doesn’t it? It’s not, that’s what makes this even spookier.

That’s because it actually is the plot for a movie. It’s the concept from the horror movie “Orphan”, where a young orphan girl tries to murder her family when it’s revealed she is actually 33.

But as crazy as it sounds, this actually happened to a couple in Indiana. And now they’re being charged with a felony account of child neglect for abandoning their adopted daughter…who is an adult. Does that even make sense? How can you be charged with child neglect of an adult?

According to DailyMail,

Kristine Barnett, 45, and her ex-husband Michael Barnett, 43, are alleged to have dumped Ukrainian-born Natalia Grace at an apartment in Lafayette, Indiana in 2013 before moving to Canada one month later and breaking off contact.

Police say the girl was left to fend for herself for three years despite having a rare form of dwarfism that means she is 3ft tall and has problems walking.

But in an exclusive interview with DailyMailTV at an undisclosed location, Kristine insists there’s a major flaw in their case: Natalia was not a nine year old – as charging documents claim – she was actually 22.

Barnett claims the true victims are her and her family who were terrorized for years by the mysterious impostor who threatened to stab them in their sleep, pushed her towards an electric fence and poured bleach in her coffee.

And that’s not all. Barnett also said, “She was standing over people in the middle of the night. You couldn’t go to sleep. We had to hide all the sharp objects. I saw her putting chemicals, bleach, Windex something like that, in my coffee and I asked her, what are you doing? She said, “I am trying to poison you.”

“The media is painting me to be a child abuser but there is no child here,” said Barnett.

“Natalia was a woman. She had periods. She had adult teeth. She never grew a single inch, which would happen even with a child with dwarfism. The doctors all confirmed she was suffering a severe psychological illness only diagnosed in adults.”

‘She was jumping out of moving cars. She was smearing blood on mirrors. She was doing things you could never imagine a little child doing.”

This is truly one of the wildest things I’ve ever heard.
