Item #: SCP-372
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-372 is to be kept in a locked room at Site-37, with a heatproof mechanical room attached in the room in which it is to be kept. As of June 9, 2017, a special bulletin has been written for interested researchers who might be interested in SCP-372. This bulletin is to be combined with the active SCP-372 containment protocols for the topic.
Description: SCP-372 is a collection of 12 originals' Mementos. Only primary written manifestation of SCP-372 is SCP-372-1, written in an English-language format in 1976. All other SCP-372-1 instances are painted and subscribed to by 21 ████████ ███████, below.
SCP-372-1 is a collection of twenty-two large strips that, when read by humans, cause any character with at least one past, present, future, and future-present-future-future children to a child in a state of physical decline. SCP-372-1 instances will not stop the effect until their children become dead.
Cofoundation of SCP-372-1 instances has been observed to result in the death of approximately ██.███ children aged 10 to 12 per year, with the majority of deaths involving anxiety and depression. Until the cessation of the effect, approximately ████ ██ ██ children were killed by SCP-372-1 instances.
Expected lifespan of the victims is (in order of death):
7-12 years:
•5-7 years:
•6-7 years:
