It wasn't a baby doll per say!
This poor twisted individual says he was in therapy for spontaneous actions he could not control.
I will buy that, he seems to be out of control of himself enough times to seek the help of a therapist.
On the other hand he seems capable of premeditating his actions, buying or somehow getting a hold of a doll just the right size for him.
He knows he cannot sit naked on his front yard and screw a non animated object. He had to have looked around for a private place to play out his fantasies. He could have locked himself in his bathroom and done so, he chose to leave and find a semi-public area.
Was he hoping a child would come along and see his antics, was he on the border line of going from a doll to a real child???
This man is on the cusp of going from fantasy to real life, oh so close to going over the edge.
The meaning of having your hackles rise is so clear here, he says he has children, Pray to the Lord they do not live with them.
Very disturbing behavior in any one, yet he was a teacher in a school of children that may have at least one taken the place of the doll in the future.
