A local school system sent middle school students home with dolls that cried all the time and had to be tended, even in the middle of the night, in order to pass the exercise. Designed to frighten them out of having children when they are too young, but the more likely result is to convince them to never want them.

No. She grew up in Eugene, OR. Mom’s kind of a hippie chick nurse. I recall the daughter got married for the first time, a few years ago. Must have been in her 30s.
