link to diaper man's website is in this article. pathetic.
The senate's top waste watcher is demanding to know how people who live their lives as 'adult babies' are able to claim disability payments.
Oklahoma Republican Senator Tom Coburn was incensed into action after watching a recent programme where an adult baby, who was featured wearing diapers, sleeping in a crib and feeding from a bottle, was also able to build the life size crib, drive a car and set up a website.
Senator Coburn has asked the agency's inspector general to look into how 30-year-old Stanley Thornton Jr and his 'mother' Sandra Dias are able to collect Supplemental Security Income instead of working.
According to the Washington Times, in a letter to Inspector General Patrick P. O'Carroll Jr, Senator Coburn wrote: '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.'
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.
He wrote: '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.
'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.' SOUNDS OK.
But Mr Coburn said that the fact he was able to set up his website, www.bedwettingabdl.com and build his 'nursery' made him ineligible for disability payments.
He said that the 30-year-old is 'cognizant that his choice to live as an adult baby violates social norms' and that he appeared to have the skills to hold down a normal job.
The senator also questioned why Miss Dias, a former nurse, collects SSI benefits, 'since she is able to provide childcare' to Mr Thornton.
