Woman sits on toilet for two years

<< < (4/11) > >>

shardian:
Here is my suspected theory:

Let's assume the girl collected a check/food stamps/etc. from the Gov't. I don't know this for a fact, but let's assume it is true. The "boyfriend" could in theory also be living off of this money. If it got to the point she was a total nut job, then she would need professional help, the money would go bye-bye, and said "boyfriend" would have to provide for himself. Awful good reason to keep things quite, eh?

You're an idiot if you buy the guy's story. There was a reason he left her in the bathroom that long without telling anyone. Once the dust settles, he'll be in jail.

ChadTower:

There is also the thought that he isn't her parent or guardian.  She is an adult.  Should he really be put in jail because he didn't help?  She wasn't in danger.  She wasn't putting anyone else in danger.  If she wants to spend her life on the toilet shouldn't she be free to do so?  At what point does he become legally responsible for her wellbeing in a situation where she is not actively harming herself or anyone else?

She was in his house.  Who the hell lets a woman live on their toilet for 2 years? A week, well okay maybe. After that, its "Yeah, you're gonna have to get the ---fudgesicle--- out of my house you weirdo". Of course they will investigate him for wrong-doing, mainly do to the bizarreness of it all.

ChadTower:

They said on the radio this morning the couple has been together for 15 years.  Are we sure it was his house and not "theirs"?  Do we know she didn't live there for quite a while before she sat in the bathroom?

kingflynn:
Yes she's an adult, but it seems she had diminished mental capacity.  Nobody in their "right mind" would sit on a toilet that long.  Since he was providing her with food and water, he may be considered her guardian.   It may be considered abuse not to help someone under your care whom so obviously needed it.
