You're probably already aware of this incredibly fucked-up story.
Pam Babcock of Ness City, Kansas, spent the last two years sitting on the toilet. She was removed a few days ago only after her boyfriend, thirty-six-year-old Kory McFarren, finally called authorities. When the cops arrived at the couple's trailer, they determined that Babcock's legs had atrophied and her skin had actually grown *around* the toilet seat. She was wearing sweatpants that were pulled down around her thighs.
According to Mr. McFarren, the woman had a phobia of leaving the bathroom due to a rough childhood. McFarren would give her food and water and changes of clothes, and ask her daily to please come out of the bathroom. Babcock would always tell him not that day, maybe the next. Well, Ms. Babcock may now spend the rest of her life sitting, as she has nerve damage that could cause her to lose use of her legs.
What boggles my mind firstly is why it took two years for the boyfriend to alert anyone. The woman is obviously in need of mental help. I am guessing that the financial and insurance situations are not ideal, but was there anyone he could have turned to, at least to point him in the direction of mental health services? She may now be wheelchair bound for life because of this.
Second: the couple's trailer does not look that big. How did the boyfriend drop a deuce? Did he sit on her lap? Did he dig a hole in the back? Did he go to Wal-Fart? WTF?
This is a sad story featuring an apparently emotionally disturbed woman, an apparent moron, and, apparently, only one bathroom.
