  • Woman Sat on Toilet for 2 Years - they had to pry her off

    This is bizarre and sad......imagine if someone sat in BF's Hot Tub for two years straight.


    Sheriff: Woman Sat on Toilet for 2 Years
    By ROXANA HEGEMAN – 1 day ago

    WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Deputies say a woman in western Kansas became stuck on her boyfriend's toilet after sitting on it for two years.

    Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said it appeared the 35-year-old Ness City woman's skin had grown around the seat. 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.

    "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."

    Whipple said investigators planned to present their report Wednesday to the county attorney, who will determine whether any charges should be filed against the woman's 36-year-old boyfriend.

    "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."

    He told investigators he brought his girlfriend food and water, and asked her every day to come out of the bathroom.

    "And her reply would be, `Maybe tomorrow,'" Whipple said. "According to him, she did not want to leave the bathroom."

    The boyfriend called police on Feb. 27 to report that "there was something wrong with his girlfriend," Whipple said, adding that he never explained why it took him two years to call.

    Police found the clothed woman sitting on the toilet, her sweat pants down to her mid-thigh. She was "somewhat disoriented," and her legs looked like they had atrophied, Whipple said.

    "She said that she didn't need any help, that she was OK and did not want to leave," he said.

    She was taken to 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.

    Authorities said they did not know if she was mentally or physically disabled.

    Police have declined to release the couple's names, but the house where authorities say the incident happened is listed in public records as the residence of Kory McFarren. No one answered his home phone number.

    The case has been the buzz Ness City, said James Ellis, a neighbor.

    "I don't think anybody can make any sense out of it," he said.

    Ellis said he had known the woman since she was a child but that he had not seen her for at least six years.

    He said she had a tough childhood after her mother died at a young age and apparently was usually kept inside the house as she grew up. At one time the woman worked for a long-term care facility, he said, but he did not know what kind of work she did there.

    "It really doesn't surprise me," Ellis said of the bathroom incident. "What surprises me is somebody wasn't called in a bit earlier."

    Sheriff recommends charging boyfriend in toilet case
    The Associated Press

    Woman hospitalized after two years on toilet
    Woman sat on toilet for two years, sheriff says
    Sheriff: Woman spent 2 years sitting on boyfriend’s toilet
    NESS CITY, Kan. | The sheriff is recommending charges in the case of a western Kansas woman who sat on her boyfriend’s toilet for so long that her body became stuck to the seat.

    Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said Thursday he asked the county attorney to file charges against Kory McFarren for mistreatment of a dependent adult. The county attorney will decide whether any charges are brought.

    News about the case made Internet headlines around the world and left many of the town’s roughly 1,500 people incredulous.

    “The unfortunate thing is this truly is a case of two people, in my opinion, with diminished mental capacity,” Whipple said.

    McFarren did not answer his door Thursday, but later called The Associated Press and said he was done giving media interviews. He said he had done nothing wrong.

    “The only thing I am guilty of is I didn’t get her help sooner,” he said.

    On Wednesday, McFarren said his girlfriend, Pam Babcock, 35, had a phobia about leaving the bathroom.

    Whipple was the second law enforcement officer to respond to the mobile home where McFarren and Babcock were living. Whipple, who described Babcock as a “thin, petite woman,” used a pry bar to take the seat off the toilet so the woman could be transported to the hospital where the seat was removed.

    “The house was cluttered but not in shambles,” he said. “The smell was overpowering — a terrible smell about the house, obviously coming from where she was at.”

    McFarren, 36, told the sheriff at that time that Babcock had not left the bathroom in two years, although McFarren now contends he’s unsure how long she was in there. Whipple said Thursday that judging by the woman’s condition — she had open sores on which the toilet seat would stick — it appeared she likely sat on the toilet continually for at least a month.

    “She would have to be sleeping on the toilet,” the sheriff said.

    McFarren said she moved around in the bathroom during that time, bathed and changed into clothes he brought her. He brought food and water to her. They had conversations and an otherwise normal relationship — except it all happened in the bathroom.

    But the sheriff disputed that account: “She hadn’t bathed for quite some time, I am safe in saying. She obviously was not keeping herself up.”

    McFarren said he finally called police Feb. 27 after he became worried because Babcock was acting groggy, as if she didn’t know what was going on around her.

    What emergency responders found when they entered the bathroom has left many in the town of about 1,500 people buzzing and authorities incredulous.

    Doctors at the Wichita hospital where Babcock is hospitalized told the boyfriend an infection in her legs has damaged her nerves and may leave her in a wheelchair, he said.

    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.

              Personally, I would never have toilet sex...when there's a shower nearby

                  What a strange story. It's a shame that the boyfriend didn't get the girl the help she needed, sooner. Jerk!

                      True, but he could have enticed her with something she'd have responded to. Maybe a shopping spree.

                        My vote would have been for shoes or a handbag.

                            I've never seen it fail yet. My best way of getting out of trouble is to suggest a trip to DSW, Coach or Brighton.

                            We're going to Phuket in 3 weeks, and I'm planning on letting her go crazy with knockoffs, which in the long run will easily save me a couple of thousand dollars.

                              I love Brighton.....Just got back from Vegas where Brighton was all over the place. It was great. Brighton stores aren't quite that numerous on the East Coast.

                              Have fun!!
