Homeless Doll Causes Controversy

Would you buy your little girl a homeless doll… for $95?

I’m talking about a doll that uses your toddler as a human pacifier. Lest you think that I am joking take a look at this review from Thingamababy, which features an actual toddler nursing a doll that can suckle like a real newborn.
