Not familiar with that story. Mine was a news story in that the fake baby also recorded things. One day the daughter left that fake at home and of course it went into its wailing routine. The dad knew it was a fake and tried to stop the screaming. He batted it around and all and later on either the daughter or her dad were accused of child abuse (yes, even though it was fake) ... tried to find original story but no luck.
Nope, not the same story.
