paragraph from Day care sex abuse hysteria[edit]

I copied a paragraph on the controversy of the use of anatomically correct dolls in questioning children from the Day care sex abuse hysteria article, specifically this version: [1]. I have not myself verified the accuracy of the text against the original source used. Siawase (talk) 18:30, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article really requires a picture! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.165.220.64 (talk) 23:51, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sendak[edit]

That doll in the lower picture looks awfully Maurice Sendak-esque. Is it supposed to be one of his characters? FiredanceThroughTheNight (talk) 04:05, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently it's Max from Where The Wild Things Are. Oddly, he never appears naked in the book (even though other Sendak characters did in their respective books). FiredanceThroughTheNight (talk) 04:57, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong illustrative photo[edit]

This toy: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Anatomically_Correct_Max_(8861899243).jpg [which was used until FEB 2019] is NOT representative.

The doll is still symbolic, as the lips, brows etc. are not anatomically correct.

-》 Let us replace it or change the description to "pseudocorrect"

Also: do the therapists cum investigators really use such suggestive "half-true" props?

It's clearly a novelty item from Where the Wild Things Are. This represents a fundamental problem with the scope of the article: Do any of the reliable sources put children's potty-training dolls, dolls used for therapy, sex dolls and "reborn babies" in the same category? –dlthewave ☎ 13:32, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Thank you, the editors who updated this doll pic here as per my suggestion above! Zezen (talk) 12:35, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and removed Winking Christina as there is no indication that this represents an educational doll. –dlthewave ☎ 12:44, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

After seeing this, I also questioned use of that image (whether it's authentic). Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 12:02, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Scope[edit]

I propose limiting the scope of this article to children's educational dolls. This could include sex-ed dolls, or be limited to those used in sexual abuse investigation/therapy applications. Few sources discuss the dolls themselves in detail, so it may be better to focus on how they are used and their questionable effectiveness. Here are a few Google Books results: [2] [3] [4] –dlthewave ☎ 17:57, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
