        --I do not own this story--

   In Rural Southern, Illinois a toy company began selling "realistic" baby dolls to expectant mothers, but, apparently, after the mother had her child the toy baby would start crying. Eventually, the "rocking motion" advertised to calm it down wouldn't work, and you couldn't get it to stop without shaking it. Soon, it wouldn't stop crying unless the 'parent' beat it, and the beatings and thrashings would have to get harder and harder to get it to be quiet. The only thing that seem to truly shut the baby doll up permanently was to bash it's head against the wall to destroy the mechanism that triggered the crying. 

   One more than one occasion, though, neighbors called the police reporting child abuse, and when the authorities arrived they would find the bloody remains of infants smeared across the walls and floor. In most cases the mother didn't understand why the police were there, she just "got rid of the stupid doll" as she rocked a baby-shaped bundle in her arms...
