Kansas Police: Woman Pried From Boyfriend's Toilet After Sitting on It for 2 Years

[Elphaba]

This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Wouldn't your body atrophy if it were in the seated position for too long?

A month is an insanely long time....let alone 2 years!

Also, did she bathe? Did she ever get up?

And most importantly....why didn't the boyfriend call someone way WAY sooner??

One report said that her legs did look atrophied...

 

[Carmen29]

couldnt they actually commit her? involuntarily? then get the help she needs and some answers

 

[Elphaba]

*just realized that the sheriff's name is the same name as the "Please don't squeeze the Charmin" commerical guy: Mr Whipple.*

If this article came out on april 1st, I would swear it was an April Fools day prank... sadly, it's not... I hope the lady gets help.

 

[hipmamajen]

Maybe she was agoraphobic?? (afraid to leave the house)

I had wondered if this was a version of that.

Wow, 2 years. I have to know why the boyfriend didn't call someone sooner?

 

[Nova]

I'm sorry, I can't help but laugh. Why in the world would someone sit on a toilet for 2 years???

If you have to ask, you've never been to Kansas.

(ETA: I was born 20 miles north of Wichita.)

 

[aussie_mum]

I saw something that actually said she lived in the bathroom, as in bath, shower, toilet for 2 years. And when they say stuck to the seat I think they mean her butt was stuck in the hole, not that her skin had grown over the toilet seat.

I think the boyfriend altho misguided was very loving in bringing her food and caring for her for those 2 years.

 

[deanws]

so she slept on it?

Yeah..that is the first thing I thought of. How in the world would she sleep? My back would be killing me.

 

[deanws]

Looking at the bizarrely humorous side of it alone-
She was easy to buy for at holidays... let 's see...

Heart shaped padded toilet seat for Valentine's Day.

One of those old fashioned toilet lid covers that our mothers used to make back in the early 60's with a felt Santa with his gloved hands over his eyes for Christmas..

Apples to bob for at Halloween.

A coordinating Wal Mart special toilet fuzzy set of mat, toilet top and side cover in her favorite color for her birthday.

Green beer for some visual variety in the toilet bowl at St. Patrick's Day.

And, she could hunt Easter eggs with her eyes closed in the tank water.

And, assuming she wasn't obese, sparklers for New Years. If they started to burn her hands, she could just dunk them.

I'm sorry- I don't care how messed up both of them are, this is the weirdest, funniest, most bizarre story I've read anywhere since I've been a member here.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Great post!

Maybe she was agoraphobic?? (afraid to leave the house) i guess he brought her new toilet paper every week? or she just didnt use any. ew. a normal person would think this was odd after what an hour of sitting in there? he must be a bit 'off'.
any other woman wondering what i am about 'aunt flo?' really gross...

I didn't think about it until you mentioned it!:laugh:

This article has a few more details and a picture of the trailer they lived in. Sorry if it's a repost but I didn't see it when I skimmed the thread.

 

[Taximom]

Oh gosh, those details just break my heart. I hope those that abused her early in her life are paying for it now somehow. She certainly is.

and

Interview w/boyfriend on video:
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a54_1205402460

This last video seems to indicate they pried the seat off the toilet itself, not her body. Then she went to the hospital w/it stuck to her... She's in fair condition.

The bf said he told her that whether she walks or rolls out of the hospital, she'll be home with him and he'll take care of her. I hope so....

 

[christine2448]

a quote from the link shazz posted---
Authorities said they did not know if she was mentally or physically disabled.

Here's yer sign!

OK, on a serious note...what a strange story...but it makes sense now that you hear she had been abused as a child. Very sad. I hope now she gets the help she needs.

If this woman truly had sat on that toilet seat for so long, she would have had infected bedsores. Left untreated, she would probably have become feverish and very sick, maybe even with the infection spreading to her blood, which could be deadly. Her butt would have had to have been one big infected sore!

I'm no medical professional, but my intuition tells me she may have lived in the bathroom for two years, but she must not have been stuck to the toilet for that long without some kind of washing or disinfecting going on.

Can you imagine the boredom? I'd like to know what she did for two years besides just sit there. Was there a TV, radio, telephone or computer? Did she read? Play cards...crochet? Journal??!!:waitasec:

Did anyone besides the boyfriend confirm that she had sat there for two years straight?

Wow...this is a really sad story.

I was wondering how in the world she could have been on that toilet for 2 years, but now it makes sense. I also think that maybe the skin grow around the toilet seat was a little exagerated, because now it looks more like she could have just been stuck to the toilet seat. I'm sure that doesn't take long to happen. I hope they don't charge the boyfriend, it sounds like he does take care of her. Poor girl, I hope the hospital will provide mental health services.

One of the articles above says she had sores etc and was injured so badly that she might be wheel-chair bound the rest of her life.

 

[Jules]

After reading all this, I'll never again think it weird to see my boss walk out the back door of our offices with file materials and disappear in the bathroom for 30 minutes.

Gosh, the poor woman is sick. The article someone posted above did say that she lived in the bathroom- took showers, changed clothes, etc. - thank GOD. It doesn't sound like she was on the pot for the entire two years. However, if the seat was stuck to fanny, she had to have been on it quite a bit lately. :waitasec:

 

[Taximom]

That's what I think happened, Jules. For some reason she was on it "lately". It wouldn't take long for open infections to attach to the toilet. The infection might explain why she wasn't herself the last few days before he called someone. (ugh just the thought)

 

[XcomSquaddie]

Yeah, one article said she lived in there for two years but had been sitting for only two months straight.

Dang. My kids complain when I go in with a newspaper.

 

[TGIRecovered]

Truth be told, I have sometimes lingered on the toilet a few minutes longer than absolutely necessary, just enjoying the solitude. You take what respite you can get until the kids realize you are "indisposed" and start yelling for Mom. Even my dog and cat have been known to pay me a visit if the door doesn't quite catch shut.

Susan

 

[Taximom]

Me too, Susan! lol That's about the only place for some serenity from the kids.

My youngest uses pictures sometimes to voice her needs. I was in the bathroom one day and in flew a picture of "juice" underneath the door. ROFL

Regarding this story though, I really hope someone looks after her even though her bf said he will. I mean like maybe a social worker should check on her for a while once she's at home in the bf's care.
