According to a report from the Associated Press, a 35-year-old Kansas woman named Pam Babcock was pried from the toilet seat of her boyfriend’s bathroom after spending nearly two years there. Shockingly, her sojourn in the lavatory was one of choice and not forcible imprisonment according to her boyfriend Kory McFarren:

“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.”

During Babcock’s stay in the bathroom her boyfriend brought her food and clothes and they even engaged in conversation. It was seemingly a normal relationship (except for the whole kidnapper dynamic). On February 27th McFarren finally got a clue that something might be amiss and called the police to report that there was something “wrong” with his girlfriend. When authorities arrived however, Babcock was unwilling to cooperate:

It appeared the 35-year-old Ness City woman’s skin had grown around the seat, said Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple. The woman 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.”

It is currently unclear whether any charges will be brought against McFarren. He says he wasn’t forcing her to stay, and she didn’t want to leave, so I don’t see how he can really be charged with anything, except maybe negligent stupidity for not recognizing the problem sooner. My only question now is what did that bathroom look like? There had to be some form of entertainment in there, otherwise the lady would’ve gone crazy. Unless of course she was already crazy to begin with…
