How is that possible? Not standing up in two years, leaving that room in two years, going outside in two years, seeing other people in two years, etc etc etc...

People are messed up.

Boyfriend: Woman lived in bathroom
By ROXANA HEGEMAN
Associated Press Writer

WICHITA, Kan. --
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."

I don't know why her family didn't ask where she was, or do anything. It's just really confusing...

The movie about this will be pretty good though.

[Maguspk]

Taking place entirely in the bathroom. It better be one badass bathroom.

[Misterjingles]

Like when Rob modified Bigs toilet with a leather lazyboy chair with surround sound speakers all around the bathroom? Throw in a laptop and I can live with that.

[Lbelle]

I don't think I could spend one day in my bathroom, let alone 2 years, even if it was equipped with a nice seat and my laptop. I would just be too weirded out I think.

I'd be afraid of stuff sneaking up through the pipes. How did she wipe and stuff, cause I kinda lean to the side to get the best angle.

A mop handle and a dish rag tied around one end maybe?

[Khamsin]

What about the comfortable chair, surround sound, and laptop mentioned above, plus a mini-fridge, sink, microwave, foldable tray (airline or school desk style) all within reach and at custom angles/height for easy accessibility? Perhaps all on retractible surfaces so you can shove them all out of your way if you need a little room to stretch.

And then maybe replace the shower which normally would be across from you with a giant plasma TV and mount cameras around the outside of the house and in some scenic areas, as well as give it cable access.

Lastly, although she apparently didn't care, I'd have a bidet installed in the toilet, and I'd have a little sponge bath tub next to the toilet with a hot water faucet so I can wipe myself down on occasion.

I'd probably also have a supply of those toilet bowl cleaner hockey puck things that go in the reservoir, because god knows how dirty the toilet got after not being cleaned for 2 years.

She was dumb enough to get her ass fused to the toilet, what the hell makes you think she wiped?

That's not a bathroom, it's a living room with a toilet and a shower

You know, screw the living room. Let's just make it a full-blown command center, the kind you see in movies with the TV screens lining the walls and control of the world at your fingertips, complete with henchmen and pools filled with sharks.

And they'd better have frickin' lazer beams attatched to their heads!

pretty sure she was really fat to begin with and that didn't change over the 2 years.

[Feielle]

Anyone else think its idiotic they're thinking of charging the boyfriend with some sort of negligence? This was obviously her decision, and whether o not she had any mental defect isn't his responsibility to report unless she's a danger to others or herself. He did call the cops when she exhibited strange symptoms (stranger than usual, anyways.)
