Woman With Toilet Seat Removed From Ass - UPDATE: Boyfriend Charged
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.”

March 13th, 2008 at 8:59 amGood thing they flushed this story out into the open, it sounds like a shitty deal for all involved. Maybe they can wipe the slate clean and get things rolling again.

March 13th, 2008 at 10:21 amI can see this being 1) a story parents tell their children so their children will hurry up in the bathroom and 2) They will make another Austin Powers movie and introduce a character based off this story.
March 13th, 2008 at 10:43 am…or they will simply remodel Fat Bastard to become a toilet-seat-warming recluse.

It sounds like an urban legend to me. They should have one of the Mytbusters sit on a toilet for 6 years and see if it’s true. I remember seeing a co-worker coming out of the bathroom one time and Kohler was imprinted on his forehead. But that was only as long as a shift change.
March 13th, 2008 at 11:27 amYou’ve got to be sh!tt!ng me!!
March 13th, 2008 at 12:42 pmThis is so strange!
I remember an old news story ’bout a woman that got stuck to her couch, after she refused to leave it for a few years. It’s just so strange.
March 13th, 2008 at 4:18 pmBack a couple years ago when I watched the FX show “Nip/Tuck” they actually did an episode where the docs had to remove a very morbidly overweight woman from the couch she had sat on for years and grown into …
Not sure, but I think she might have died in the [process] …
March 13th, 2008 at 5:18 pmOohh maybe it’s that Nip/Tuck episode that I remember, and not an actual news story. lol
March 13th, 2008 at 5:38 pmShe must have spent a fortune on magazine subscriptions. Or maybe she spent the time studying the Bible. Jesus fed the multitude by multiplying the loaves, but this is ridiculous.
March 13th, 2008 at 5:49 pmOohh maybe it’s that Nip/Tuck episode that I remember, and not an actual news story. lol

Could have been based on a real story … Those shows do that anymore.
Happened to catch a piece of one the other night … can’t recall which (was one of those endless crime shows) … that was a page right out of Anna Nichole Smith … The older son dies in the hospital where his Mom just gave birth to a baby girl … Mom had been married to a VERY old man that died and she was in a battle with the son for the millions …
