Woman sits on boyfriend's toilet for 2 years
Girlfriend was physically stuck to the seat — her skin had grown around it

NESS CITY, Kan. - Deputies said a woman in western Kansas sat on her boyfriend's toilet for two years, and they're investigating whether she was mistreated.

Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said a man called his office last month to report that something was wrong with his girlfriend.

Whipple said it appeared the 35-year-old Ness City woman’s skin had grown around the seat. 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.

“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.”

10. Jeez....what were the HOLIDAYS like?

....He 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.”

The boyfriend called police on Feb. 27 to report that “there was something wrong with his girlfriend,” Whipple said, adding that he never explained why it took him two years to call.

Police found the clothed woman sitting on the toilet, her sweat pants down to her mid-thigh. She was “somewhat disoriented,” and her legs looked like they had atrophied, Whipple said.

“She said that she didn’t need any help, that she was OK and did not want to leave,” he said.

She was taken to 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.

Authorities said they did not know if she was mentally or physically disabled.

Police have declined to release the couple’s names, but the house where authorities say the incident happened is listed in public records as the residence of Kory McFarren. No one answered his home phone number.

The case has been the buzz in Ness City, said James Ellis, a neighbor.

11. Just one small comment:

“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.”

14. She must have been wiped out! nt

[Saphire]

15. Sounds like an episode of Nip/Tuck. The one where the lady sat on

her sofa so long, she grew INTO it.

[ecstatic]

16. I'm guessing the boyfriend was disabled as well

a person in good mental health would have called for help that same night or at least the next day.

[Initech]

17. 2 years?That must have been a shitty situation!

[girl gone mad]

18. I was just going to post this one.

Just when I thought nothing could shock me anymore.

That boyfriend needs to go to jail.

23. its a sad story -- but it shows just how slowly some people can hurt themselves

[gort]

24. It's times like this that I remember what my old dad used to say.

"What the hell are you doing in the bathroom all day and night? Why don't you get out of there and give someone else a chance?"

25. "Authorities said they did not know if she was mentally or physically disabled"

Let's see... legs are atrophied... and she has been in the bathroom for 2 years... and the authorities just cannot determine if there's a physical OR (not AND?) mental disability? Um.... ok....
