We’ve only watched season 1, so maybe they’ll update his situation in season 2.

Then in the orphanage.

The orphanages are understaffed, her behavior was too much for the staff, she was too manipulative and was able to talk her way out of being sent to another orphanage. The staff saw a chance to rid themselves of her and fudged the records.

She suffered enough trauma in her early years that she was never going to be able to live in a family setting ever again. This is not really uncommon.

The parents didn’t have many choices. She was never going to adapt to family life and she would never see them as her parents. It’s difficult to get residential care and it’s only covered by insurance for a short time.

I have no doubt that Natalie was abusive towards the parents and tried to kill them. I have no doubt that the parents at their wits end and scared were abusive to Natalie.

The solution the parents came up with seemed to actually work for both them and Natalie. But she couldn’t help screwing up something that was going well for her. She has serious mental issues that aren’t going to get better.

It’s been very convincingly established with x ray records in the us that she was 8-9 at the time the barnetts were working to get here re-aged to 20 something.
