Crying injection doll launched in Japan

A doll which 'cries' when you give it an injection is about to be sold in Japan.

The new baby doll is called 'Yume-chan', and 'cries' given an injection by its owner.

When the needle is put in Yume-chan's arm, water 'tears' stream down the doll's face.

Yumi-chan was showcased at a toy exhibition in Tokyo on January 31, 2011.

It's manufacturers Tomy will put the doll on the market in June.

What do you think about this doll? Do you think that it will make little children scared of injections? Or do you think that it will help children to face their fears?

    Who thought of that idea? I think its bad influence on children.It will never help childen overcome there fears.On the other point some children may find it fun. =P

    I think it will incourage children to do the same to themselves. It is a BAD IDEA!!!

    That is a really pointless idea because children might think that they can do it to themselves a very bad idea :(

    I think that it will make kids scared of injections because the doll cryes when it has one!

    That is a bad example to small children.

    This is generally a BAD idea. It would just make them scared more, and would encourage them to do it to themselves. I think this is a BAD idea!

    I thin that this is giving out mixed messages here!

    I think that this is going to make children, especially young children, a lot more scared of injections...

    I think that it's a bad example to small children , they might even try to do it to themselves and eanyway it'll just make them more frightened , though it is quite a cool idea !
