Charges Filed Against Boyfriend of Kansas Woman Stuck to Toilet

Thursday, March 20, 2008

NESS CITY, Kan. A man whose girlfriend authorities say spent nearly two years in a bathroom in their house, sitting on the toilet so long that the seat adhered to her body, has been charged with mistreatment of a dependent adult.

Kory McFarren, 37, was charged Monday in Ness County District Court.
McFarren called the Ness County Sheriff's Office in late February to say something was wrong with his girlfriend. When authorities arrived at the home, they found Pam Babcock, 35, stuck to the toilet, which they think she had sat on for about a month.

McFarren told authorities that Babcock feared leaving the bathroom and may not have left it in two years, although said he was unsure how long she was in there. He said that he took her food and water daily, and that he repeatedly asked her to come out but that she usually replied "maybe tomorrow."
"The only thing I am guilty of is I didn't get her help sooner," McFarren told The Associated Press nearly a week ago.
Ness County Attorney Craig Crosswhite said the mistreatment charge most closely fit the situation.

"I looked at the statutes and spoke to the attorney general's office," he said. "This was a very unusual set of circumstances, and this is the law that most closely applied to the situation."
Authorities said Babcock sat on the toilet so long that open sores developed and caused her to become attached to the seat. Sheriff Bryan Whipple has said that he used a pry bar to remove the seat from the toilet, and that the woman was taken to the hospital with the seat still attached.

"She would have to be sleeping on the toilet," Whipple said.
Doctors at a Wichita hospital where Babcock was taken told McFarren that an infection in her legs had damaged her nerves and could leave her in a wheelchair. She was still at the hospital Wednesday night.
McFarren's first court appearance will be in April, Crosswhite said.

The only thing he's guilty of is being COMPLETELY FREAKING STUPID!

Other than that, that charge is bull crap. Dependent adult my #$$. Show us the legally disabled sticker. Well NOW she's legally disabled.

That's just not right. And if he had forced her to come out of the bathroom, he would be arrested for forcibly removing her. The woman wanted to stay in the bathroom, nothing against the law about that. He tried coaxing her out, she didn't want to come. He didn't mistreat her, he didn't starve her, he just gave in to her wishes of staying in the bathroom, where is the crime?
