Scotland 'Mum' in Fake Baby Scandal Speaks Out as 'Gran' Discovers Grandchild Is a Doll
Kira Cousins allegedly deceived friends and family with a prosthetic bump and a reborn doll, claiming a fake birth and then reporting the baby’s death.
- Kira Cousins, from Airdrie, is accused of donning a prosthetic bump and presenting a reborn doll as newborn Bonnie‑Leigh Joyce, claiming she arrived on October 10 weighing 5lbs 4oz earlier this month.
- Online posts showed scans and a 1,000 pram as Kira posted ultrasound photos and held a gender‑reveal party before claiming hospital checks and a heart defect.
- Screenshots and messages then surfaced that pointed to the deception, with Kira telling the alleged baby's dad that 'Bonnie-Leigh died' shortly afterwards.
- Thousands of online responders reacted with horror, and Kira Cousins declined comment to the Daily Record before posting on TikTok that her mother found the doll and she had been isolating.
- The dolls' realism partly explains how the deception took hold, with reborn dolls retailing from �30 to �2000, leaving the Lanarkshire community feeling betrayed.
