The phenomenon of Reborn babies, hyperrealist dolls who mimic real children have generated controversy on social networks and even in the House of Representatives. In an interview with CNN, psychiatrist Daniel Barros explained the possible risks and contextualized the situation.
According to the expert, attachment to these dolls is not a recent phenomenon, existing for over a decade. Barros points out that people usually cling to various objects, such as pens and books, and that the case of Reborn babies is no different.
Fantasy vs. Reality
The psychiatrist emphasizes that, in most cases, people who give names and even documents to the dolls are just playing and have not lost contact with reality. “They have not lost contact with reality, they are playing,” says Barros.
However, the expert warns that the situation becomes worrying when the person believes the doll is real. “The problem is when the person puts a reality that does not exist, that he [o bebê reborn] It’s really your little boy and that he needs care. ”However, it reinforces that they do not believe these people are majority.
Exaggerated reaction from society
Barros argues that the exaggerated repercussion of the subject says more about society than about the owners of the dolls. He criticizes the proposal of laws to regulate the use of babies Reborn, considering them unnecessary.
“Who is proposing this law now too, I think they want to surf this wave,” says the psychiatrist, noting that the subject will probably lose relevance quickly.
Finally, Daniel Barros concludes that, in most cases, the phenomenon of Reborn babies is just a joke between specific groups on social networks, and that society should not take the subject so seriously.
