Meet 36-year-old Mother Who Treats 300 Lifelike Dolls As If They're Her Children by Nobody: 6:50am On Sep 11, 2014
Meet 36-year-old mum Marilyn Mansfield who has collected over 300 eerily lifelike dolls.
And that's not all - her obsession has gone so far that she even placed her son's hair in one of the plastic figurines to make her appear more realistic.
Caring for them as if they were real
children, Marilyn, can often be found
walking the streets of New York with a pram full of the inanimate figures.
"I loved walking with a stroller when my
kids were little - they don't fit in strollers anymore, so I take out a doll.
"The dolls can be therapeutic - for some
people it can be beneficial as long as you're not losing touch with reality."

And who says she's not losing touch with reality?
She's going round the bend without realising it.
