DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR CHILDREN ARE?
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object class: Safe Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a padded steel room at Site-34 with around the clock video surveillance. Any instances of SCP-XXXX-A are to be handled by researchers with a background in pediatrics. All Instances of SCP-XXXX-A are to be kept for observation for one two months for any physical, mental, or anomalous abnormalities. These instances must be taken for a DNA Sample and cross-checked with any reports of missing infants. Once the location of the infants parents is discovered a cover story is to be crafted or anyone involved in the investigation is to be issued a Class B Amnestic as needed. If the parents or any living relatives are unable to be located within one two months of SCP-XXXX-A’s discovery, instances of SCP-XXXX-A are to be sent to a foundation backed foster care system under the guise of abandoned infants.
Addendum XXXX-01: As of incidents XXXX-24 (See attached Log) Containment procedures have been updated with new requirements that must be carried out on top of previous containment procedures. Study of Instances has been extended to two months in order to do extensive monitoring for any anomalous activities. If anomalous activity is present the instance of SCP-XXXX-A is to be rebranded SCP-XXXX-B-# (with the number corresponding to the current numerical instance) and placed in a containment cell consisting of a wooden crib, and miscellaneous toys with at least one researcher with level 3 clearance and one guard monitoring the instance until a containment cell can be built to house and study the current anomalous effects. After a given time determined by the Site Director and Head Researcher the instance may be rebranded into its own SCP and sent to a facility that is more equipped to contain it. In event of a containment breach MTF-Iota-5 (“Mother Goose”) is to be called in to handle the breach with assistance from at least two researchers with level 2-XXXX clearance, one with a background in pediatrics and one with a background in child psychology.
Addendum XXXX-04: As of Incident XXXX-46 (See attached log) Containment procedure has been updated once more. If the instance of SCP-XXXX-A corresponds with an instance of a deceased infant or shows characteristics of XXXX-C it is to be designated XXXX-C-1 to 4 and moved to one of the rooms designated for XXXX-C-1 to 4 testing. Unlike instances of XXXX-A and B instances of XXXX-C do not need to eat, sleep, or be changed. Instances of SCP-XXXX-C are to be monitored by a researcher with level 3 clearance. If more than 4 instances of SCP-XXXX-C are active at any time one of them must be terminated and the remains are to be incinerated and studied for any more anomalous activity.
No female staff or D-Class that are pre menopause or have not undergone a hysterectomy may be within one kilometer of XXXX-C without prior approval from both the Head Researcher and at least one O-5.
In the event of breach through six instances of XXXX-C being active containment procedure “Mother’s Love” is to be initiated on all instances of XXXX-C and any female that has met the previous criteria that has come in contact with the instances of XXXX-C or XXXX-C-Ω upon materialization of the sixth instance of XXXX-C.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an infant crib made of a light brown cedar wood with sheep patterned light blue fabric padding the inside of the crib with matching wooden bars on the right side that allow the crib to be opened and closed. SCP-XXXX measures 1.3 meters long, 1 meter tall, and .75 meters wide. XXXX can be taken apart and inflicted with slight damage such as minor scratches but not destroyed, however, the parts will reassemble on their own within 24 hours of being dismantled through an unknown means. The company that manufactured it, ██████ █████, has not created any other anomalous items but remains under investigation.
SCP-XXXX appears to be a regular crib and can function as one however at random intervals one human infant (hereafter referred to as SCP-XXXX-A) will appear in XXXX ranging from two months to a year old. Instances of SCP-XXXX-A that appear inside SCP-XXXX suffer no injuries or distress but will always appear swaddled in a light blue or pink cotton blanket depending on the infant's gender. XXXX-A will remain in XXXX for an indefinite period of time in a sleep-like state until XXXX is disturbed or opened. If left in for too long multiple instances of SCP-XXXX-A can appear inside SCP-XXXX, causing XXXX to be disturbed. When SCP-XXXX is disturbed all instances of XXXX-A will immediately awaken, crying continuously and indefinitely until they are taken out of SCP-XXXX. XXXX-A has been observed to cry continuously for over 72 hours without pause or any apparent need for nourishment before being taken out of XXXX. XXXX-A can only be removed from XXXX when the sidebar is lowered. There is no other possible way to remove XXXX-A from XXXX without doing this as there is some kind of invisible barrier stopping anyone from taking XXXX-A out of SCP-XXXX from the top. Once removed from SCP-XXXX, XXXX-A will cease crying and resume the standard routine of an infant including regular feeding and changing. Instances of SCP-XXXX-A have shown no anomalous activity and have been sent back to their parents once they are located.(See Incident XXXX-024).
History: SCP-XXXX was recovered from Newton, New Jersey on 02/28/2005 after a tip was sent to the foundation concerning an infant found in a crib within an abandoned daycare center. According to locals the daycare always seemed to be somewhat lively, despite the fact that no residents reported actually bringing their child to that specific daycare. The infant, █████ ██████████ (Hereafter referred to as XXXX-A), had been reported missing by his parents in █████████, England on 02/██/2015. Both XXXX and XXXX-A were taken into foundation custody. Class B Amnestics were issued before the parents could be notified. After XXXX-A was kept under observation for 30 days and no anomalous activity was found he was sent home to his parents with a cover story about an unknown child abductor being behind the kidnapping.
SCP-XXXX remained in foundation custody for a period of thirty-seven days before the next instance of SCP-XXXX-A appeared in foundation custody. After an examination found no physical or anomalous abnormalities in SCP-XXXX-A a DNA check was ran and cross checked with a list of missing infants until XXXX-A was traced back to an infant in █████, Japan that went missing on 04/01/2015. From there Instances of XXXX-A began to appear in random intervals. (See Attached log of all instances of SCP-XXXX-A)
Addendum XXXX-02: As of Incident XXXX-24 a new log has been made for instances of XXXX-B.
Addendum XXXX-03: As of Incident XXXX-31 a new log has been made for instances of XXXX-C

As of writing the time shown is five years, eleven months, three weeks, five days, sixteen hours, thirty seven minutes, and twenty seconds. What the countdown is counting down to is unknown. The doll itself, while unmoving, does seem to require the same nourishment as an infant between the ages of birth and one year, the countdown seeming to speed up when these needs are not met.
Status: In containment

Status: Recontained at Site ██ and reclassified as SCP-████
XXXX-B-8 Date Found: 12/25/2017 Anomaly: XXXX-B-8 appeared in a red sack instead of the usual pink or blue swaddling. Said sack (Classified XXXX-B-8-1) was filled with items for all members of staff minus Dr. ███, Engineer █████, Special Agent ████, Dr. ███████, and Special Agent █████, all present instances of SCP XXXX-A and B as well as three D-Class wrapped in Christmas themed wrapping for some, and Hanukkah themed wrapping for others based on the religion they were raised under. Those whose parents were atheist, non practicing, or practiced a religion outside of christianity or judaism received stock red and green wrapping paper. These presents were items important to the respective staff member.An investigation into why this is is currently underway. The infant itself showed no abnormal physical traits but seems to be in consistently good spirits.
Addendum: The following year the sack had been refilled with presents for the same staff members minus Dr. ██████ All present instances of XXXX-A and B as well as one D-Class.
Status: In containment at on site daycare
(Names of Staff who did not get presents have been redacted pending investigation.)

Incident Log: XXXX-24: At 03:47 XXXX-B-1 manifested within XXXX and was taken out for examination. Upon examination Dr. Keslo noted the subject's red hair. Dr. Julian responded by stating the subject's hair was a strawberry blonde. After a minor argument Special Agent Kim was brought in to settle the debate. Agent Kim commented that the subject had thick black hair, at which point two other researchers were brought in to comment on XXXX-B-1’s appearance. After the conclusion was made that the subject looked different to each member of staff the subject was rebranded as XXXX-B-1. Due to the non dangerous nature of the anomalous properties of XXXX-B-1 Head Researcher Simmons and Site Director Ken chose to keep the subject on site due to the already built day care center and pediatric knowledge of the on site staff. Future cases of XXXX-B were to be kept on site on a case by case basis as determined by the Site Director and Head Researcher.
Incident Log: XXXX-25: During an experiment conducted by Dr.Cross to see how long an instance of XXXX-A could remain in the crib that had been going on for approximately 30 days an instance of XXXX-B appeared in the crib on top of XXXX-A-9, disturbing both and causing XXXX-B to activate their anomalous properties. Through a currently unknown means XXXX-B removed all the matter in a 1.6 meter radius around itself, leaving nothing but the crib and itself behind as it continued to cry. MTF Iota-5 was dispatched as a precaution as well as Dr. Earland to help calm the subject. After it was determined that the subject was no longer a threat Iota-5 was placed back on standby as Dr. Earland helped relate XXXX-B-2 to a temporary containment cell while the Site Director and Head of Research determined what would be done with it. It was determined due to the unknown nature of it’s anomalous properties XXXX-B-2 would be kept on site, due in part to its infancy, and the fact that it seemed to remove or destroy all matter around it regardless of material minus the crib. Containment procedures were updated and XXXX is pending upgrade to Euclid status. Approved by O5-█
Incident Log: XXXX-31:On 01/15/2015 XXXX-C-1 appeared within the crib. Upon examination by Dr.Wan the baby showed no signs of hunger, exhaustion or urination/defecation in over six hours. Upon cross examination of DNA XXXX-C-1 it was revealed to be a match to Dr.█████, a researcher on site. Upon further examination it was revealed XXXX-C-1 has identical DNA to Dr.█████’s infant who had died a month earlier from S.I.D.S. After interrogating Dr.█████ a Class-B Amnestic was administered and she was transferred to a new site.
While originally thought to be its own contained anomaly on 04/15/2015 another instance of XXXX-A appeared, this one, while different in appearance from XXXX-C-1 had identical traits upon examination. At which point the Site Director opted to rebrand both into their own classification, XXXX-C.
Incident Log: XXXX-46: At 12:47 on 10/17/2015 an instance of XXXX-C appeared within XXXX. Unknown to staff at this time this would trigger a XXXX-C-Ω event. Each instance of XXXX-C was transported through currently unknown means to the closest point between all six instances and ██████ ████ █ ████ ██ ████ █████ about 2.3 meters in diameter. MTF Iota-5 was dispatched to deal with this however, each female who had not undergone menopause or had a hysterectomy within a roughly one kilometer radius began to act erratically. Attacking both each other and anyone who had attempted to restrain or stop them. Despite having no way of knowing where XXXX-C-Ω had formed security footage and witness reports show that each individual was making their way to it’s location through any means. A full list of witness reports as well as transcriptions of both audio and video footage can be found in a log below.
MTF-Iota-5 was unable to properly contain the situation, due to a mixture of infighting as well as staff members attempting to attack anyone who attempted to destroy XXXX-C-Ω. During the chaos Dr. Nolan at made direct contact with XXXX-C-Ω causing ████ ███ ███ ███ ███ ██ ██████ ████ █ ███████ ███████ with ██ █████████ █████ within. A transcribed video log can be found below. Site Director Ken ordered the use of a then experimental device to incinerate both Dr. Nolan as well as XXXX-C-Ω with heat at temperatures over 1,300 kelvin. Once they were both turned to complete ash each female within the radius returned to a normal psychological state. Class-B Amnestics were issued and all affected females were sent to other facilities per O5-█ orders. SCP-XXXX was given updated containment procedures.
Request from Site Director Ken to update SCP-XXXX to Keter Status
Denied by O5-█
“If you guys are that scared of a bunch of anomalous infants I’d be scared to see how you handle other sites where the SCP don’t babble and chew on their feet all day.”
