Woman Sat on Toilet for Two Years

Deputies in Ness City, Kansas, responded to a call from a man that said that there was something wrong with his girlfriend. This is what they found in the guy’s bathroom:

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.” [...]

“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.”

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.”

    Some people just want to be on a throne. They'll even say: "You can quote me on that." It really baffles.

    this is weird beyond description. I don't understand how she just stayed there, slept and everything. I can hardly sit still anywhere for more than an hour or so. Why didn't he call the police after a few days???

    Why didn't he stop bringing her food?

    Enablers - they're as crazy as the victims.

    Every site & news outlet is running with this like crazy, and yet - no pics of the woman or boyfriend yet? Very odd indeed. And the sheriff's name is Whipple? Riiiiiight.

    I don't care if it's fake; I just hate the thought of human skin growing into something inorganic. Heebie jeebies.

    They are thinking of charging the boyfriend. They should charge the girl with trespassing.

    The boyfriend is an enabler. All he had to do was to stop feeding her. She would eventually get up. He is about as bizarre as she is. They were made for each other. They ought to make a movie. It would be a love story, and it would involve only one set.
