Fox News reported late last month that Hunter Biden reached a child support agreement with the mother of Navy Joan, a child he fathered out of wedlock.

Yet while the legal matter has apparently been resolved, critics complain that the little girl's treatment by members of her father's family has been nothing short of tragic. 

Joe Biden: "I have six grandchildren"

The Daily Mail noted how during a White House "take your child to work" event held this past April, President Joe Biden all but denied Navy Joan's existence.

"I have six grandchildren. And I'm crazy about them. And I speak to them every single day," Biden was quoted as telling reporters on the White House lawn. In fact, Navy Joan is his seventh grandchild.

Neither the president nor First Lady Jill Biden have ever met Navy Joan while her father has also failed to make contact with the 4-year-old.

George Washington University Law School professor Jonathan Turley slammed the Bidens over such behavior in an op-ed piece published by Fox News at the start of the year.

No Christmas stocking for Navy Joan

Turley pointed out that Navy Joan did not get a White House Christmas stocking despite every other Biden family member receiving one, including the pets.

What's more, he also pointed to Hunter Biden's legal fight to bar Navy Jones from having his last name, something Turley decried as a "monstrosity."

"It is hard to imagine the pain that this child will experience upon learning of how the Bidens erased any reference to her and fought even her ability to claim to be a member of their family," Turley wrote.

"If one were to combine all of Hunter's influence peddling, drug abuse, orgies and prostitution controversies, they would not hold a candle to the utter depravity shown toward this little girl," he declared.

Meanwhile, The New York Times reported last week that White House aides have been instructed to say that the president only has six grandchildren.

"These people are monsters"

That provoked outrage online, with CNN political commentator Scott Jennings declaring that the Biden family is made up of "monsters."

Republican National Congressional Committee press secretary Will Reinert spoke up as well, calling the situation an "extremely sad story regardless of your political affiliation."
