Woman Takes a Dump for 2 Years

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - Deputies say Pam Babcock, a woman in western Kansas, became stuck on her boyfriend's mobile home toilet after sitting on it for two years. Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said it appeared the 35-year-old Ness City woman's skin had grown around the seat. "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. . . . 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." The boyfriend told investigators he brought his girlfriend food and water, and asked her every day to come out of the bathroom. "And her reply would be, `Maybe tomorrow,'" Whipple said. "According to him, she did not want to leave the bathroom." He never explained why it took him two years to call. Authorities said they did not know if she was mentally or physically disabled. When interviewed, neighbors expressed shock that the man had a girlfriend.
