Woman stuck to boyfriend?s toilet

By Gideon

Your eyes are not deceiving you.

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.

Two years. Sitting on a toilet.

?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.?

Whipple said investigators planned to present their report Wednesday to the county attorney, who will determine whether any charges should be filed against the woman’s 36-year-old boyfriend.

“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.”

Now I’ve seen everything. Thanks to The Saucy Vixen for bringing this to my attention.
