The family of a Kansas woman who spent two years sitting on a toilet is speaking out.
Pam Babcock was discovered by authorities physically stuck to the toilet in her Ness City home. Her boyfriend claims Babcock stayed in the bathroom on her own, but her family doesn't believe it.
Carmen McNamara spoke to KAKE News Friday evening from her Arizona home. During the conversation, she explained that Babcock's life changed dramatically when she met Kory McFarron.
"We love Pamela to death.," says McNamara. "Her family loves her very, very much. I, like a lot of others right now, think there's more to this story that Mr. McFarron isn't telling."
It's simply an astonishing story. McFarron told us earlier this week that he never held Babcock against her will. But, even so, the sheriff of Ness County says he still could face criminal charges for not getting her help sooner. Meanwhile, Pam's cousin says it's not like her family just forgot about her.
McNamara says, "We would send letters and telephone and anything to get in touch with her. We'd physically go to her residence and he would tell us that she doesn't want to see or talk to her family. And eventually, SHE would tell us that."
McNamara says her family has been worried sick about Babcock for years. They had no clue what she was enduring.
"Do you call it brainwashing?" Babcock asks. "What do you call it when you have a family member who's now an adult and they used to always love their family, love spending time with you. Now, all of a sudden, she's moved in with someone and won't see us."
Pam Babcock remains at a Wichita hospital where officials say she's in fair condition. It's up to the Ness County Attorney whether to file any criminal charges against her boyfriend.
