In 2012, the Barnetts successfully petitioned to have Grace’s age legally changed to 22, altering her birth year from 2003 to 1989. In 2013, the couple moved to Canada with their three sons.
The Barnetts were later charged with neglect of a dependent, but prosecutors were not able to charge them with neglect of a child because of Natalia’s legal age change.
