Answer and Explanation:

Kristine and Michael Barnett were charged with multiple counts of neglect of a dependent in 2019 for leaving their then-adopted daughter alone in an apartment in Lafayette. The Barnetts adopted Natalia, a Ukrainian orphan with severe dwarfism, in April 2010. The case made national headline. Michael Barnett faced neglect charges after investigators claimed he abandoned his adopted daughter Natalia Grace. The case against Michael Barnett was resolved with a jury's acquittal and the dismissal of charges against Kristine Barnett.
