A couple who had been living together for 16 years had a normal relationship, besides the fact that for the last 2 years, it took place in a bathroom. Pam Babcock, 35 had a phobia about leaving the bathroom and her boyfriend called the police when he found her to be acting groggy one day. The police said she was not stuck by glue, or tied or anything to the toilet, her legs were just physically stuck to the toilet. The police also said that she had to have slept sitting on the toilet. The sheriff of the investigation said that he believes the boyfriend should be charged with neglect because he let her go on living in the bathroom. He fed her and took her water and carried on conversations and a relationship with her instead of doing something about it. The sheriff also stated that when they entered the trailer house, it smelled and the smell was coming from her.
What is wrong with the world? It is obvious that this woman had a mental condition, that according to her, started with some type of abuse when she was little, that caused her to form a phobia of leaving the bathroom. But what kind of person believes it's ok to let her live like that? Like it's normal to have to bring her food and water because she won't leave. And then, even after it's impossible for her to get off of the toilet seat, to think it's all fine,... until she seems groggy!!
This story was just ridiculous to me! First of all, it was really hard for me to believe and second of all I don't know whether to feel more sorry for her because she has issues from her past or because she's living with a moron!
The woman has ended up with an infection on her legs that has damaged her nerves and was taken to a hospital in Wichita, but continues to refuse cooperating with medical providers and law enforcements.
I would hope that if I ever had an issue and thought that I would be better off sitting on a toilet, then someone would love me enough to get me some help and point out the fact that it's not right!!... Before I'm stuck!

Wow. This does just show how messed up some people really are. I'm not sure who's worse, the boyfriend or the woman. How does this kind of thing happen? How do you develop a phobia of not leaving the toliet? This sort of thing just boggles my mind. I completely agree with you about this ridiculousness of the story. You sort of have to feel sorry for the woman, obviously something was seriously wrong with her. But the boyfriend should have tried to get her help from the first moment she refused to leave the bathroom.
Wow, this story is completely shocking. Did the story mention what happened in her childhood for her to find security with a toilet seat?
Although, you say that the man in the relationship was crazy for not making her get up, you have to give him credit for being faithful. I don't know how long I would take care of someone who refused to get off a toilet seat.
This is unbelievable! You'd think after the first year the husband would think living in a bathroom was a bit out of the ordinary. I'm no Dr. Phil, but it sounds like this relationship is about to go down the toilet!
