Life That Woman Whose Skin Grafted to Her Toilet Seat

onShe was afraid to leave the bathroom.
A 35-year-old woman who sat on her boyfriend’s toilet for so long that her body was stuck to the seat had a phobia about leaving the bathroom, the boyfriend said.Police say Pam Babcock apparently spent two years living in the bathroom of her boyfriend’s mobile home.
“She is an adult; she made her own decision,” said her boyfriend, Kory McFarren. “I should have gotten help for her sooner; I admit that. But after a while, you kind of get used to it.”
McFarren, 36, said he can’t be certain how long Pam Babcock stayed in the bathroom because “time just went by so quick I can’t pinpoint how long.” He said beatings she received in her childhood caused her phobia.
“It just kind of happened one day; she went in and had been in there a little while, the next time it was a little longer. Then she got it in her head she was going to stay — like it was a safe place for her,” McFarren said.
But McFarren said she moved around in the bathroom during that time, bathed and changed into the clothes he brought her. He brought food and water to her. They had conversations and had an otherwise normal relationship — except it all happened in the bathroom.
Oh, my word. I don’t know what to say except, parents, please don’t beat your kids.

WOW. that is just fucked up.
Grrrroooooosssssssssss.........
I don't know what else to say.
Except, how ugly and damaged and pathetic must this man be to put up with some bullshit like this in his house... Ahem... Trailer for two fucking YEARS!!!
It blows my mind.
This reminds me of the German film, "The Princess and the Warrior" and how it uses the "get off the can" metaphor. Great flick.
So she eventually got to the point where she refused to get off the toilet as well?
Not leaving the trailer for 2 years...OK.
Not leaving the bathroom for 2 years...strange, but...sure.
Not leaving the toilet seat for 2 years...Priceless.
Don't you just want to at least pace the bathroom? Maybe take a shower?
Also, does this mobile home have 2 bathrooms?
I don't think it is uncommon for abused children to lock themselves in bathrooms for temporary relief. She obviously has mental issues from suffering child abuse.
I wonder what that feels like? I mean, would there be any kind of noticeable and/or strange sensation as your skin slowly grew itself around the toilet seat?
Depends.. most double-wides have two full bathrooms...
Single wides have one...
Also depends on the age of the mobile home...
Double wide floorplan with two bathrooms. I wonder if she was in the master, or the shared bathroom?

Is that a euphemism for something?
Did she switch to wiping back-to-front?
Thats some serious motherfucking Zen that chick was practicing. She sat like a motherfucker.
She shouldnt be mocked in slog, she should be leading clasess in Freemont to the armies of fleece wearing Zen followers.
I saw some piece on ABC's 20/20 many years ago about a teenage kid who had major anxiety and trauma issues. One day he went into the bathroom and then refused to come out. He stayed in there for months on end. His parents fed him meals through the doors.
Pics, thanks.
#5, the last parargraph mentions she moved around. #4 is right, though, she must have stopped doing this at some point.
Better headline: "Scared Shitless"
Oh, my word. I don’t know what to say except, parents, please don’t beat your kids.*
