Boyfriend charged in toilet case

Update today in the case of woman who had to be rescued after spending two years on her toilet:

Her boyfriend, Kory McFarren, 37, was charged with mistreatment of a dependent adult in Ness County, Kan. According to Kansas law, this charge is either a misdemeanor or felony, depending on the severity. A dependent adult is someone over 18 who is "unable to protect their own interest."

The arrest comes after paramedics had to rush McFarren's girlfriend to the hospital with the toilet seat melded to her body. She had been unwilling to leave the bathroom for two years. McFarren said he brought her food every day and pleaded with her to come out, but she kept promising she would do it "tomorrow."

Last week, McFarren told the AP: "The only thing I am guilty of is I didn't get her help sooner."

I do not believe this at all. I find it hard to believe that Kory McFarren, the boyfriend, could leave his girlfriend on a toilet for two years. As he continues to say, it was a normal relationship except everything went on in the bathroom. How is that normal? I do not see why it took McFarren two years to go get help for her. If he loved her and cared he should of tried to find treatment and health a while ago. I feel bad that she had a hard childhood but that should of been taken care of while she was young. It is discussing that her skin was attached to the toilet seat. If she was walking around as McFarren says, how can she be stuck by the skin to the chair? I am not sure how I feel about him being charged. I really do not think he made the right decision on waiting so long before getting her some health. I think the case needs to be looked into a lot more before a decision of charges should be made. It is one crazy story! Who has ever heard of something like this happening? I do not really understand how one can have a phobia of leaving the bathroom. She definitely needed help and McFarren should have realized that a good 2 years ago. Did his girlfriend never say anything to him about the situation? There is so many questions I would love to know about McFarren and his relationship.
