TIPPECANOE COUNTY — Prosecutors have asked for a gag order in the case against two parents accused of abandoning their adopted daughter.
On Monday, the order was requested to prevent some information, like educational and medical records, from being made public, according to court documents.
Michael and Kristine Barnett are accused of abandoning their daughter they adopted from Ukraine and claiming she is an adult.
