Jazzmoose Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 They had conversations and had an otherwise normal relationship except it all happened in the bathroom. Yes, and Jeffrey Dahmer was a normal person, except for his peculiar culinary inclinations... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Well, it serves as a public service announcement, in that if there's a friend or other loved one that you've not seen for two years and you can't figure out to where they've vanished, check your toilet seat, because you just never know.

seeline Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 There are tabloids galore in the UK, but I think Tonyrefail must be in the 19th c. somehow, or else MG is able to successfully avoid frequenting places where they're sold. As for his comment, I very much agree! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Ptah Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 It appears that both of the adults involved were mentally challenged, and that the woman had suffered from physical abuse early in her life, from comments by a sheriff. This is possibly newsworthy in that it shows the tragic results of the underfunded state of public services for the disabled in the U.S. People who are not really able to care for themselves have few or no good options, in many communities in the U.S. I am sensitive to this as the father of a severely disabled son, who would have very insufficient services available for his literal survival if my wife and I were to simultaneously die.

MG MG, For you to have even conceived of that idea, the news media in Great Britain must be astonishingly different than the media in the United States. It's not the news media; it's the people who went in to rescue her. The news media wouldn't have got to hear about it if those people hadn't spread it about. In their line of work, I'd have expected discretion. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggie87 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Boyfriend of woman stuck to toilet gets probation NESS CITY, Kan. - A man whose girlfriend sat on a toilet for so long that the seat adhered to her body will spend six months on probation. Kory McFarren pleaded no contest last month to a misdemeanor count of mistreatment of a dependent adult. A judge sentenced him Tuesday to six months in jail but granted the probation after the victim, Pam Babcock, asked for leniency. "She didn't believe that her circumstances were his fault," Ness County Attorney Craig Crosswhite said. Babcock's plight became known in February when McFarren called the Ness County sheriff, expressing concern about his live-in girlfriend. When authorities arrived, they found Babcock physically stuck to the toilet. McFarren told police Babcock had refused to come out of the bathroom for two years. Medical personnel estimated she'd been sitting on the toilet for at least a month and said the seat had adhered to sores on her body. She is now under the protection of a guardian who was appointed through the legal department at the hospital where she received treatment. Also Tuesday, McFarren was sentenced to six months in jail for an unrelated charge of lewd and lascivious behavior for exposing himself to a teenage neighbor in March.
