Woman sits on toilet for two years

<< < (5/11) > >>

ChadTower:

Following that logic he would not have legal liability if he let her starve to death instead.

Dartful Dodger:
Yes he may be considered her guardian, but it seems he had diminished mental capacity.  Nobody in their "right mind" would let a woman stay on the toilet that long.

It sound like they were just loons.  Trying to figure out the 'whys' will just give you a headache.

shardian:
I think we need our resident lawyer in training.

If they had lived together for 15 years, then they are domestic partners, right. I suppose this might fall under some sort of domestic abuse then.

ChadTower:

I don't agree that feeding her and helping her stay alive during her problems is abuse.  He could very easily have walked out the door and left her there to get up or starve to death.  Would leaving have been abusive or have led to criminal charges?

It has been said here multiple times that after a week he should have just picked her up and thrown her out.  If feeding her for two years is abusive, how would taking a badly agoraphobic woman and tossing her outside any better?

The way I see it, what he did is enable her for way too long, and should have sought outside help after a few weeks instead of two years.  I don't see him having done anything criminal, though.  Not based on the details we have now.

knave:
I wonder how they...???  (I'll stop there.)  :angel:
