Wednesday, March 12th, 2008Funny (and sad) as this story is, why would local authorities be looking into charging the woman (or her boyfriend, I guess) with a crime? Is that just standard, now? Something odd happens, so we start looking for crimes with which to charge someone? The first concern should probably be getting the woman some psychological help.
And come on. Sheriff “Whipple?” Really?
Unrelated, but this is sure swell.
must . . . resist . . . urge to make . . . Charmin joke . . . .
Where in the story does it say the sheriff is looking into charging her? I see reference to charging her boyfriend (almost as ridiculous) but thats it.
Some people ask for help without saying it.
Some people are scared to help.
I’d file this under Sad.
William, Radley doesn’t say they’re charging the woman. He asks why they’re looking at charging ANYONE with anything.
If she never left the toilet does that also mean she never lifted up to wipe? Did she sponge-bathe at all?
NASTY!
yeah, it’s nasty. gross, grody, sad & pathetic.
but where was the crime? what reason does sheriff whipple have for sticking his nose into the whole sorry deal? despite what they say, not every single thing under the sun is the cops’ bidniss.
Reminds me of the Nip/Tuck episode where the woman had grown into her couch.
*shivers*
They’re looking at charging someone because the police are in the business of putting people in jail, not helping them out.
I challenge any police officer to show me a performance review based on number of people helped vs. number of tickets given, or prosecutions secured.
Something odd happens, so we start looking for crimes with which to charge someone?
Yes it is. Radley, of all people, you should know that. As a society, we’re obsessed with punishing people, and need to villify, and possibly imprison someone (anyone who has any connection to the incident, not matter how tangential) for any bad situation.
So, is she better off? Compare the record of care between the state-run institution she will be placed in, and the care of a long-time significant other.
Sounds like medical care was necessary for the wounds developing on her rear. But the state is not required to make a person “want” to leave a bathroom.
Needless to say, the medical “professionals” will drug her up until she becomes happy in hopes of turning her back into a productive, tax-paying member of society. (Of course the result will be; she is drugged into a waking coma for the next 20 years while the institution receives reimbursement for her body-count.)
On the subject of arresting people, there is the possibility that this was his idea.
Because this woman is apparently mentally ill and there are some serious questions about leaving her in the bathroom on the toliet for two years. The only reason she is out of the bathroom now is because he finally went to someone for help.
