I was wondering this too, but I know when there’s a John Doe or Jane Doe, they can figure out the age. I just always wondered how? Is it through the DNA or dental?

Sorry I spiraled there but it has been on my mind since I have known about this case.

i found what i was looking for! thanks!

Age can be estimated from a DNA test by using the 'Epigenetic clock' as a measure of DNA methylation over time

I would think dental records

Actually, she may have progeria, along with drawfism. In that case, she'd appear younger as she ages.

@user-qp4gp4ri8c She had baby teeth with the Barnett’s, they literally have photos of her missing her two front teeth

@@user-qp4gp4ri8c Progeria causes rapid premature ageing. If she had progeria, she would look much older, not younger. The average life expectancy for a child with progeria is about 15 years, so I doubt she has it.

you can tell in her teeth she was a child, i wonder if the violent thoughts were true, unless they happened because her parents thought this of her.

Did you not watch the video??? They did a dna test, thats about as hard of evidence as you can get

100% they watched the movie Orphan and used that as the basis for their claims. Even the "standing above our beds and threatening to kill us" was straight out of Orphan on top of the "adult woman pretending to be a child".

Not just that, but they were making up lies about her, like she was being honest and it seems that she never said any of those things, those parents were just like freaking out over nothing. I think they just wanted a reason to abandon her. I honestly hope we get an insight to what these parents intentions really were.

China

Well, you don't through a kid you adopted just because he's all grown up. But to jeapartize someone else safety in the comfort of their homes, that's another level. So I never understood, why knowing this person age was so important, unless, indeed those parents lied about that as well.

@@eliteswagg6650 Who in the world ever said that?

@@oceaneo4603 No. They just lied about everything in general, and that's what makes me really sick to my stomach.

Why because a medical expert said one thing and now a medical expert says something else? WHich expert is right? Who really knows? Sounds like benefits fraud and scam from both sets of adoptive parents.

The judge made a decision based on an expert conclusion not particularly on what his gutt feeling were. Looks can be deceiving too I always looked younger than my age, people always think I'm younger than my age by 5 to 10 years. When I started driving I got pulled over for that very reason. When I had my kid people thought I was a teen dad.

@youtube-handle-are-a-joke Yes, I get that. I've been there myself looking younger than my stated age, having to pull out my ID at every stop and turn. But this case is different. We're talking a child and a man who by law, legally sits on the court bench with a robe and a gavel who can make inform decisions on people's lives, whether good or bad. He should have had a DNA test done on her to determine her correct age or how close in proximity to her correct age, instead of going by just the words of some legal experts alone or do it in addition to the expert opinion, based off the adoptive parents' suspicions. But no, he just sat in his court/chamber and decided himself to up jump her age to 22 without any DNA proof to back up his decision therefore, leaving a 9-year-old child to live by herself as an adult and her adoptive parents' thinking she's old enough to do so. That was not right or the correct legal protocol.

The judge did it because the so called parents petitioned for it. It wouldn't have been done had they not.

I’m confused as to how they weren’t able to determine her age before with science? Maybe I’m ignorant to the technology at the time but like is there NO WAY in 2009-2010 that they could have used a test or experiment or anything??? Like I’m so confused how they missed this🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

More so relief

Because she’s not 22 either and DNA methylation tests aren’t accurate enough yet to pinpoint an exact age, only a range, which is why the guy stated it so specifically as, “The test shows you’re closer to 22.” DNA methylation can be slightly inaccurate in individuals who’ve had to live through extreme stress, as Natalia would certainly have, so it does make sense that it added to her age. She’s only 20, she was born in 2003. She’ll be 21 in September. Her birth mother is still alive and came out with all the birth paperwork to prove this. It’s ridiculous she’s had to go through this when any JoSchmo off the street could see the difference in her face now as compared to then and see she was a child.

That's just what I was thinking I'm like what...she could have hit puberty early. I feel bad for her

Both my girls were about 10 when they got theirs so that makes sense.

That's very true. Mine started at 7½. My classmates started much later, obviously. I'm just glad that my mom had gotten the kit from kotex a few months before that, even though she thought she was doing it way ahead of time. 😅

Too young for that,it's like your childhood is over.

Even at 6 years old some girls get there cycles . It's rare now but not unheard of

But she still could have been threatening to kill her adoptive parents when she was first adopted. I've heard true stories of kids who do threaten and sometimes carry out their threats. Maybe she did threaten them, maybe she didn't.

She does look creepy as a child, let’s be real Idk, there’s something off

​@@angelaallen2190 But they said the reason why they think she was older, was because she started woman hood early at the age of 9, like it's completely normal? And I get why they thought she was older than that, but you still don't just abandon your child there, and she looks to be honest so she probably never even said those things in the first place, and the parents were just bullcrapping this whole damn time. If we get some more insight to her, then we'll see who's right about her saying those things because she seems to be telling the truth. :(

​@@nazomius7033 If we get some more insight about her, then maybe we might get some stuff about her saying those things, and if she says she *didn't* say those things, then y'all believed a lie.

@@SpecialNeedsChamp999 I think they believed she was 7 when they adopted her, but she was actually 9. I don't think they expected her to start womanhood at that age.

@user-qp4gp4ri8c That’s not even true. People with dwarfism 100% show aging. Plus, she literally still had her baby teeth when she was with the Barnett’s, they literally have pictures of her missing some of them

And the fact that the mom saw pubic hair and immediately called the dad in to come look... imagine the trauma and deep sense of danger and insecurity a child would feel.

Not to mention, an adult woman would be knowledgeable enough to shove wads of toilet paper in her pants and flush them ( we've ALL done it in an emergency), keeping her pants clean. Or at least figure out to wash them out the sink and dry them in her room somewhere 🙄 a CHILD would panic and just try to hide the soiled pants.

That's exactly what I was thinking

It is extremely confusing for a child who doesn’t know what a period is!! I started mine at 9/10, my mom started really late so she just assumed she had a little more time before “the talk.” Well, I got my first period while we were out shopping and went to the restroom as normal then when I looked in the toilet to flush i had a full panic attack thinking i was dying 🥺😭 I grew up getting a lot of uti’s from sensitivities, some so severe to the point of getting a Cystoscopy done and for whatever reason they didn’t put me under for it (literally horrifying still get sick to my stomach if I think abt it and one of my only very clear early childhood memories) so i assumed it was something even worse because of the amount of blood! I already knew how much pain my body could get into down there while sick and had familiarity with small amounts of bleeding regarding my privates but i still wasn’t prepared for my first period whatsoever. I was shaking very concerned i was bleeding out and dying :( I tried waiting for about 15 mins for an adult or my mom to find me and no one ever came in. I had to decide whether to leave the bathroom or not to go get my mom and get help or wait and possibly die. I luckily had a lot of trust in my mom as a child, so I was able to go to her and she was what I needed in that moment to feel safe so I can’t imagine if I didn’t. Idk what i would’ve done 🥺I can laugh it off here and there now but i just get really sad remembering that little girl on the floor of a dirty public bathroom shaking and almost throwing up from crying because I thought I was dying right then and there. It can definitely leave a mark on some women!

She wasn't even there when it happened, the judge never even spoke to her. The Barnett's had her locked up in that psych hospital and after this ruling, they put her in the adult unit. A week later they said come and get her, there's nothing wrong with her.

Who did the Barnetts adopt her from? Did they have legal paperwork on her?I don’t know how anyone could assume she was an adult cause she had her period! They said she made everyone’s life hell ..how? Did they say?

@@charleneinman3625 She didn't have her period, kristine lied. There were two adoption agencies involved, the Barnett's try to keep info on one of them hidden because it contained records from an endocrinologist that proved she was a child. They knew from the beginning. They never believed she was an adult. It was all a lie.

I wonder if she can file an appeal and at least get her age back to what it should be.

The judge would have to "judge" based on his best judgment, for lack of a better word. If the adoption agency had a good reputation and record, their word and the couple's would naturally be considered over the child's.

The judge went by the medical expert who specializes in dwarfism who aged her based on her bone analysis. It should have been the most accurate info available. Still want to go on a witch hunt and ruin some random judges life? Over an update that says DNA proves her age, when it isn't possible for DNA to prove someone's age? At best, perhaps they confirmed that woman that came forward years later claiming to be her mother and having a birth certificate really was. But that still doesn't prove age. She could easily have had more than 1 child, and she was sketchy as heck. Just seemed to come forward to be in the spotlight.

If anything, that is the silver lining in this for her, is that NONE of us would know who she is pr of her plight unless this tragedy was bestowed upon her.

God I felt this in my soul. I started at 8, in the most embarrassing way possible - a light colored dress during my biweekly visitation with my father. If my great aunt hadn't calmed me down and convinced me I was going to be okay, I would have thought I had something severely wrong with me. I just was very tall and developed really early. I was 5'10" tall by 10 years old (and parents of other kids in my grade regularly thought I was held back several years or slow because of it) and didn't grow an inch past that point. We don't all develop exactly the same. To be physically disabled like Natalia, abandoned as a child, and forced to fend for herself is legitimately disgusting. This poor woman.

I do think that Natalia was creepy and disturbed though (understandable due to her Ukranian orphanage origins) and that was the probably the primary motivation for wanting her out of their lives for good. They couldn't deal with the mental health aspects, they just wanted her to be a perfect child.

Natalia has stated that she does not even get her period. She never even started.

I am still wondering what kind of mother doesn't immediately make a pediatrician appointment when something like that happens. Instead, this genius assumes the worst and then publicizes it, or allows her husband to just run with it. Anything to make a buck and self-promote. Looks like their son got all the brains.

I always believed her, too. Bless her heart. Her good name is finally cleared, and the adoptive parents need to go to jail and pay her a LOT of money.

right! im studying child development and all the videos of natalia show her meeting normal milestones like fine motor skills for someone her age. the way she grabs things and moves is so child like and very difficult to mirror if she was actually an adult pretending to be a kid. i just hope she finds peace now that the record is set straight.

Even my teachers wouldn't believe me when I tell them I've only been in the US for 2 months because I had a very neutral accent and that I spoke better english than many of the kids that have been there for years. The accent was easier to learn than grammar

This is exactly the point that criminal profiler Pat Brown made on her big long video about this subject on her Channel

I agreed

That is such a great point.

nah you sound pretty filipino @@damn671

IIRC they also said she had a fully developed (thick, all black, completely covering her _mons publis_ ). Is that common as well? I didn't start until age 12.0 I wonder if it's due to co-ed schools becoming the standard, hormones in milk/eggs/beef, etc. as the reason menstruation at such an early age is becoming the norm?

@@pickles3128my daughter is 10 and it’s already started. What’s normal for you is not normal for all.

⁠​⁠@@tinybrowninit’s partly due to the stuff they put in our food.

A childhood friend of mine also had her period egen she was like eight and super scared. Nobody had told her about periods at that point. She that se was dying. 😢💔

​@@pickles3128 I had a full bush at age 10, surprise surprise people's bodies work differently.

They got exonerated fully, so enough people with decision making power thought the same...

I agree, to me obviously the ex parents didn’t want responsibility of her, but surprisingly a lot. I recall several years ago. There were more people leaving comments supporting the ex parents and saying foul things about the kid

The movie Orphan was loosely based on this case...so your comment doesn't make much sense.

​@@kallen868Absolutely wrong. The movie was NOT based on her or this case at all. The movie cane out before she was adopted and was based on Barbora skerlova. They got the idea from the movie.

​@@kallen868well I feel stupid now I didn't know that. Lol, for some reason I thought orphan came out before this movie. Or rather story. Yeah I feel dumb now. Lol.

Exactly wtf idk about this

Me either. I wonder how accurate it really is.

DNA testing can determine your "biological age", which may not be the same as your chronological age. Some people age faster or slower, so the DNA test might not be entirely accurate. It does give a better idea than just taking the word of people who want to abandon the person.

Its called methylation of DNA

​@@AgentXaostrue, and further in her defense, it was my understanding that it's more common to have a biological age older than your chronological age than vice versa, but i could be wrong. Either way, it would mean that at the time they abandoned her, she was certainly a minor who had serious disabilities.

yah as michael put it "we thought she was a brand new daughter..but she had full bush and a cycle" who speaks of a child that way..she is still their new daughter... makes u think in a not so good way and wonder what their intentions were

had to watch on phone cuz it sucked so bad.. urgg
