'Adult Baby' Stanley Thornton threatens suicide if Social Security payments are revoked

[quote=]A key senator has asked the Social Security Administration to investigate how people who live their lives role-playing as “adult babies” are able to get taxpayer-funded disability payments — after one of them was featured on a recent reality TV episode wearing diapers, feeding from a bottle and using an adult-sized crib he built.
Sen. Tom Coburn, Oklahoma Republican and the Senate’s top waste-watcher, asked the agency’s inspector general to look into 30-year-old Stanley Thornton Jr. and his roommate, Sandra Dias, who acts as his “mother,” saying it’s not clear why they are collecting Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits instead of working.
“Given that Mr. Thornton is able to determine what is appropriate attire and actions in public, drive himself to complete errands, design and custom-make baby furniture to support a 350-pound adult and run an Internet support group, it is possible that he has been improperly collecting disability benefits for a period of time,” Mr. Coburn wrote in a letter Monday to Inspector General Patrick P. O'Carroll Jr.
The request comes at a time when members of Congress are struggling to cut budgets and weed out waste to try to bring down the staggering deficit, and comes just days after Social Security’s trustees released a grim assessment of the program’s long-term financial health.
SSI is run by Social Security and pays out benefits to aged, blind and disabled people who have little or no income.
The inspector general’s office didn’t return a message seeking comment.
In an email response to The Washington Times, Mr. Thornton threatened to kill himself if his Social Security payments are taken away, and said the television episode showing him doing woodwork oversold his abilities.
“You wanna test how damn serious I am about leaving this world, screw with my check that pays for this apartment and food. Try it. See how serious I am. I don’t care,” the California man said. “I have no problem killing myself. Take away the last thing keeping me here, and see what happens. Next time you see me on the news, it will be me in a body bag.”
Mr. Thornton was featured in early May on National Geographic Channel’s “Taboo” program along with Miss Dias, a former nurse who feeds him a bottle and otherwise attends to his needs when he is dressed in diapers.
In the episode, he shows off the adult-sized crib he built and sleeps in, and the cameras follow him to the hardware store where he buys wood for his latest do-it-yourself project — an elevated high chair that is capable of holding his ample frame.
He said he has been living at least a partial adult baby lifestyle since his teenage years, though he does wear adult clothes when he goes out, fearing embarrassment otherwise.
Mr. Coburn said Mr. Thornton “is cognizant that his choice to live as an adult baby violates social norms,” though, and through both his projects and the adult baby support website he runs, [url]www.bedwettingabdl.com[/url], he appears to have the skills to hold down a job. That, the lawmaker said, should make him ineligible for disability payments.[/quote]
Hey, I say let him kill himself. It's not the government's job to pay for his stupid fetish. :colbert:
NOTHING of any value would be lost in any capacity.

GONNA NEED A BIIIIIIIIIG BODY BAG
That's pretty fucking odd.
What a big fucking baby.
And I thought furries were bad.
[quote]In an extensive biography on his web page, Mr. Thornton says he worked as a security guard for a year and a half but said trauma stemming from childhood abuse, combined with other mental problems, made it impossible for him to hold the job, and he has been receiving SSI payments for most of the last 10 years.[/quote]
So instead of overcoming his trauma, he retreats to this fantasy world he constructed for himself with taxpayer's money? Fuck, that's just stupid. I know people who are my age on SSI, who use that money to get on in the world despite their disabilities. This man clearly has no intention on growing up.
waaa give me taxpayer money for my baby fetish or i'll kill myself!!!
tbh his SSI payments should be revoked immediately, let him kill himself if he wants
:wtc: I wouldn't want my tax dollars going to [i]that[/i].
No social security payments until you finish your vegetables!
I hope he dies.
What a worthless human being.

"But daddy used to put his fingers up my asshole!" Get the fuck over it.

As cold hearted as it seems I kind of have to agree. Let him be an attention whoring douche all he wants. I can't really imagine anyone other than his close family ( if even ) caring about his death.
Stop his payments and watch him bleed butter.

This piece of shit lives in the same area I do (San Francisco) and I agree completely.
The fat tub of lard that he lives with might be unemployable since she can barely fit through a door frame, but he could easily find work if he wanted to.
I find it funny that analrapist rated "agree" on my post above.

Good riddance, asshat.
Pathetic.
Fucking do it.
What the Fuck?
He even admitted that the only thing keeping him here was the money. I say do it, let him kill himself, he will probably chicken out at the last minute, so have a armed guard there to put him down or something.
People like this are such a drain on resources, seriously. There are people that could use any extra money the government can afford, but nope, useless assholes like this take that up instead.
[QUOTE=The golden;29932726]Sorry, but adult babies keep to themselves, thus they are infinity better than furries.[/QUOTE]
I'm not paying taxes on furry fetishes.
I just saw this on Taboo the other day. He's a worthless part of society who handles things in a way that doesn't help him at all.
Fuck that. There are people with REAL disabilities that would use that money better.
Well that's pretty god damn disgusting.

No shit Sherlock.

The money should be going to cripples and children, not assholes like this.
If this guy wants money, then he needs to be in FORCED THERAPY that will get him back into normal society and get a fucking job.
