Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: Every 24 hours, members of [REDACTED] are to transport PoI-5999 (████ █████ ██████) to Containment Site-██ where SCP-XXXX will be stored. PoI-5999 will be allowed access to SCP-XXXX in order to facilitate a reading of a bedtime story of her choosing. Following the completion of this story, PoI-5999 is to be promptly returned to her residence in [DATA EXPUNGED] no later than 7:00PM.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a seemingly regular stuffed brown teddy bear. However, object will portray a distressed unhappy demeanor if it does not receive contact from a human (presumably of a pubescent age) every 24 hours.

Attached to the bear is a red heart shaped pin which prominently displays the phrase "I love to read" on it. The pin is located in the middle of the bear's torso and was seemingly added by PoI-5999 following a "Reading Day" at her school.

Recovery: The discovery of SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties happened on 7 February 2008 during a "Mother's Day" visit to Site-██ by ████'s ██-year-old, ████ █████ ██████ (herein designated "PoI-5999". Among Site-██'s many security protocols, potential entrants are required to forfeit all items currently in possession to a designated member of [REDACTED] stationed at its entrance. These items are generally held in an off-site location for a period of at least 48 hours regardless of the duration of visit.
