Talk:Natalia Grace

Further clarification on date of birth should be encouraged
The details of Natalia Grace Barnett's life, especially her age, are highly contentious and have been the subject of numerous lawsuits. Legally, in the United States, she is aged at 34, but birth records from the Ukraine show her to have been born in 2003. Of course, this is already outlined the section `Life`, however her birth year in the first sentence of the article reads 1989.

I hesitate to edit the article directly as I'm unsure of the reason for this discrepancy. That being said, I believe it to be inaccurate and perhaps even damaging to the individual given the recent uptick in public interest about her story. For this reason there needs to be further clarification on why her birth year is stated to be 1989 rather the year shown on her birth records, which is 2003. 2603:3021:2901:E800:D942:266F:970A:E35D (talk) 00:11, 24 June 2023 (UTC)


 * I edited the header to indicate that Natalia's birth year is disputed and to include information regarding her birth certificate year of birth (2003) and the legally changed date of birth by her adoptive parents (1989) and clarify the reason for the discrepancy.

Should there be a redirect of the TV show The Curious Case of Natalia Grace to this page? eyeCommented (talk) 09:01, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Court case documentation
is there anyway to publicly get access to the court case(s) and their filings? this can be used as sources to better write and clarify this wiki entry. eyeCommented (talk) 09:04, 3 December 2023 (UTC)


 * You may be able to obtain records as outlined here: https://www.in.gov/courts/help/mycase/. I haven't used it.  From my few uses of the Federal court records system, you may have to try a variety of ways to find what you want; identifying the exact case (and its designation) can be a bit difficult and confusing. - R.

 * Seems i cant access that link outside of the USA. However I did find this document https://irp.cdn-website.com/1c91a0ab/files/uploaded/Opinion%20-%20Memorandum%20Received%20fr%20(6)%20(1).pdf
 * Can you maybe link (publicly accessable) documents in relation to this case? I would love to read them. eyeCommented (talk) 03:26, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Age Dispute
The current article treats the Ukrainian birth certificate date of September 4, 2003 as fact, and it is only when you read down to the Abandonment section that you discover that in 2012 a court ruled for her birth record to be changed to September 4, 1989 making her 22 instead of 8 at the time. Note some sources outside Wikipedia suggest a 2013 court ruling making her 23 years of age, not 9 years of age.

I have no clue which claim is true, and frankly the discrepancy in date is troubling, but until such time as the prosecution present evidence of the Ukranian claim, mustn't the legal birth date\age be used here? The Tippecanoe Superior Court has stated that her age is a settled matter in the courts after all. 121.45.138.79 (talk) 06:16, 3 January 2024 (UTC)


 * This was already discussed and settled in the first section of this talk page. As the issue is ongoing the resolution there seems appropriate. 2603:6011:51F0:4B30:68C2:11E2:61A6:5C99 (talk) 07:31, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

New Conflict with Mans Family
Having just watched the finale of Season 2, I am surprised there is not yet any mention HERE of an apparent break with the Mans family. The closing caption before the credits says her story will continue, implying there is new conflict to report. And there sounds to be audio of the new parents condemning and washing their hands of her. No further details are given, pending a new season, perhaps. https://www.etonline.com/natalia-speaks-finale-natalia-grace-docuseries-ends-on-a-shocking-cliffhanger-watch-the-final

Kristine Barnett's statement refutes claims [Jan 4th, 2024]
A statement (a facebook post - i can not confirm this is her account) from Kristine Barnett appears to be a response to allegations of abuse made against her.

Kristine asserts that Natalia was loved and cared for within the family and that any discipline she received was within normal parental bounds. Kristine mentions that they (the Barnetts) were booked and cleared of charges related to Natalia's alleged abuse, and were not guilty.

Kristine alleges that Natalia is a sociopathy and manipulates sympathy to cover her extreme actions and portrays herself differently in public settings compared to her experiences living with her.
