How do you know she doesn’t have other issues?
Because the Barnett’s had her assessed on multiple occasions by endocrinologists, pediatricians, etc., and never mentioned that she had other medical issues. If she had something that kept her young looking they’d be screaming that from the rooftops and it would be malpractice for their attorney not to mention it in their original petition.
At this point you have to really stretch to make their story believable.
1. You have to disbelieve the 2010 age assessment.
2. Disbelieve the 2012 age assessment.
3. Believe the investigator who quoted MB’s words is a liar.
4. Overlook the constantly changing stories of the Barnett’s.
5. Ignore their many lies, exaggerations and inconsistencies.
6. Ignore the photographic evidence that NB aged from a child to an adolescent to a teen.
7. Believe she must have hidden her breasts even though NB have her a bath the first night they met and screamed for her husband who came running in. And neither of whom ever mentioned breasts.
8. Believe NB has a mysterious pituitary issues that none of the specialists found nor was ever mentioned which somehow kept her young looking until it somehow worked itself out and allowed her to magically age along a normal profession per her birth certificate.
9. Believe the Man’s are somehow welfare cheats who hoard kids no one wants so they c an take their money.
10. Believe an adult psychopathic scammer has happily and quietly put up with that for 5 years.
11. Believe the investigators are inept despite a five year investigation.
12. Believe the prosecutors are inept after reviewing the results of the five year investigation and deciding to prosecute.
13. Believe NB is somehow scamming the Mans into thinking she’s a child because she for some reason enjoys that, even though she’s clearly aged and matured over the years for them and appears to dress and talk and act like a normal teen today.
14. Somehow believe she fooled a Ukrainian adoption agency or is in on an adoption scam that she didn’t benefit from financially.
15. Or somehow believe she was a sophisticated monster living here for years who fooled and scammed American adoption agencies into believing she was an orphan child from the Ukraine.
I mean at a certain point I think one really has to be vested in the Barnett’s and disliking this kid. Otherwise it just doesn’t seem logical to me to do the mental gymnastics necessary to finding their narrative remotely believable.
