Noj Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 'The boyfriend called police on Feb. 27 to report that “there was something wrong with his girlfriend,”' After two hours I'd be concerned, two days and it would be an emergency. Two years? WTF?!!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukeCity Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Seriously, how does that continue for two years!?! "Hey Bill, how come Jenny's not here for Thanksgiving?" "Uh, she's in the bathroom." "Hey Bill, is Jenny coming with you at Christmas?" "Uh, no. She's still in the bathroom." "Bill, you and Jenny have big plans for Valentine's Day?" "Not really. She's in the bathroom." ... ... ... ... "Hey Bill, remember last Thanksgiving when Jenny was in the bathroom? She'll be here this year, right?" "Uh....."

Christiern Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Reminds me of a true story I was told, years ago, by a friend who was a flight attendant on a B.O.A.C. Stratocruiser (now you know that it was long ago. Anyway, an elderly lady went to the loo and, as she sat there, the lid on the outside of the plane came off. The result was enormous suction that made it impossible for her to be pried off! They were over the Atlantic and the pilot finally lowered the altitute (considerably) to eliminate the suction!

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Damn, with all of the sediment & scum build-up you'd get around the interior of the bowl after not using the brush for 2 years, must have been like navigating treacherous shoals off the coast of North Carolina for the Ty-D-Bol Man.

Hot Ptah Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 She must be mentally and/or emotionally disturbed. What he was thinking all this time is what I can't imagine. You would think that just about anyone would call for help if someone spent a second day on the seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggie87 Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Update from my local rag: Boyfriend: Woman felt safe in bathroom for years Associated Press Originally published 09:16 a.m., March 13, 2008 A 35-year-old woman who sat on her boyfriend's toilet for so long that her body was stuck to the seat by the time he called police had a phobia about leaving the bathroom, the boyfriend said. "She is an adult; she made her own decision," said her boyfriend, Kory McFarren. "I should have gotten help for her sooner; I admit that. But after a while, you kind of get used to it." The case drew nationwide attention after Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said it appeared the Ness City woman's skin had grown around the seat in the two years she apparently was in the bathroom. "We pried the toilet seat off with a pry bar and the seat went with her to the hospital," Whipple said. "The hospital removed it." McFarren, 36, said he can't be certain how long Pam Babcock stayed in the bathroom because "time just went by so quick I can't pinpoint how long." He said beatings she received in her childhood caused her phobia. "It just kind of happened one day; she went in and had been in there a little while, the next time it was a little longer. Then she got it in her head she was going to stay like it was a safe place for her," McFarren said. But McFarren said she moved around in the bathroom during that time, bathed and changed into the clothes he brought her. He brought food and water to her. They had conversations and had an otherwise normal relationship except it all happened in the bathroom. McFarren said he finally called police Feb. 27 after he became worried because Babcock was acting groggy like she didn't know what was going on, except she was awake. What emergency responders found when they went into bathroom has left residents of this small western Kansas town buzzing, and law enforcement officials incredulous. Police found the clothed woman sitting on the toilet, her sweat pants down to mid-thigh. She was "somewhat disoriented," and her legs looked like they had atrophied, Whipple said. "She was not glued. She was not tied. She was just physically stuck by her body," Whipple said. "It is hard to imagine. ... I still have a hard time imagining it myself." She initially refused emergency medical services, but was finally convinced by responders and her boyfriend that she needed to be checked out at a hospital. "She said that she didn't need any help, that she was OK and did not want to leave," he said. Whipple said the county attorney will determine whether any charges should be filed against McFarren. McFarren, who works at an antique store, said he has been taking care of Babcock for the 16 years they have lived together. He insisted that he tried to coax her out of the bathroom every day. "And her reply would be, `Maybe tomorrow,"' Whipple said. "According to him, she did not want to leave the bathroom." She was reported in fair condition Wednesday at a hospital in Wichita, about 150 miles southeast of Ness City. Whipple said she has refused to cooperate with medical providers or law enforcement investigators. Babcock has an infection in her legs that has damaged her nerves, and there is a possibility she may wind up in a wheelchair, McFarren said. James Ellis, a neighbor, said he had known the woman since she was a child, but that he had not seen her for at least six years. "I don't think anybody can make any sense out of it," Ellis said. Babcock had a tough childhood after her mother died at a young age and apparently was usually kept inside the house as she grew up, he said. "It really doesn't surprise me," Ellis said. "What surprises me is somebody wasn't called in a bit earlier." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
