Pam Babcock, Ness City, Kansas, Woman Found Stuck to Toilet After Two Continuous Years of Sitting in Bathroom

In Ness City, Kansas, Pam Babcock was found stuck to a toilet seat. She has not been glued or tied. She sat on the toilet for two years straight. The toilet was at her boyfriend's Kory McFarren's. He only thought to call authorities after two years of bringing Babcock food and water. When authorities came she stated that everything was fine, but they were eventually able to get her to go to the hospital, the toilet seat having to be pried from the toilet to come with her because her skin has grown around it. Her legs atrophied and she may now be in a wheelchair for the rest of her life.

I have never experienced abuse and neither has anybody in my family. However, I know of a family that had one natural child and adopted five others. They were always a very loving family, but there were stories of abuse from the adopted children.

One of them, AJ, has been passed from home to home. He was a foster child for many years before he was adopted. When he was finally adopted, this meant that he often acted much younger than his age or even did things that most children would not do once they are taught that it is wrong.

He would often defecate anywhere on the floor. He would not let anybody know that he needed to go to the bathroom or that he needed to go to the bathroom. He would just pull down his pants and proceed to use the bathroom wherever he was.

He did not do this because he wanted to upset others. He wanted to know that he was loved. All the other places would scold him and send him away when this happened. He did not have anybody to love him and he found that this behavior would determine if he was really loved.

He only learned that he was loved after this happened many times and the family still kept him as their own child. After that happened, the behavior quit and he was able to live on his own.

Then, another child they adopted, Barbara, is both deaf and mute. She is also mentally retarded. Of course, her birth family did not think she was as smart as she is. They figured that she would be like an infant all of her life.

They also did not know how to deal with her. Rather than try to teach her or help her learn, they would tied her up in ropes and she would get rope burns. They would take cigarettes and put them to her skin so she would be burned by the cigarettes.

Barbara is not so much that she cannot scream when she is happy or in pain. However, she has a very high tolerance for pain, so they could easily get away with these things and she would never make a sound.

Once Barbara was adopted, she has many siblings that loved her and parents that loved her. Her new family found out that she was very smart as she could easily button her own dress by the time she was six. She just did not always know how to act with others and she certainly did not know how to express her anger. She would hit and scream at times and it became difficult. This was because she was never taught how to handle her anger. It was not her new family's fault, and it really was not her old family's fault, either. It is that at that time, there were very little resources for these issues.

However, the first cases of abuse never helped Barbara and are part of the reason she still acts out at times today.

She has even had some care takers that were not good with her. They would hit and scream which in turn would only make Barbara hit and scream. What she needed was love and compassion. She needed people who would be teachers and friends, but at times, she never got them.

There really are no comparisons to Pam Babcock's story, but it goes to show that abuse can lead to a person doing strange things. One of the suspected things in Pam Babcock's story is that she was kept locked up, so this was probably a strange source of comfort for her.
