Meirivone Moraes is 37 years old and has a more complicated family. She has a husband and children, but none of them are real people, but a bunch of handmade rag dolls.

This strange husband was met by her on a "blind date".
When she cried to her mother that she couldn't find a partner and didn't have a dance partner to go to the ball with her, her mother sewed a puppet named Marcelo for her, saying that this was her friend.
Unexpectedly, Moraise fell in love with Marcelo at first sight, and after that, not only did he no longer associate with real people, but even clamored to marry a puppet.
Her family couldn't resist her, and in the end, she married Marcelo and became his wife in the presence of 205 relatives and friends, and the two even "bore" a (puppet) son.

Not to mention, after getting married, Moras seems to really live with these rag dolls as husbands, and the lives of the two are even a bit bloody......
She said Marcelo had to work hard every day to earn money to support her and her children.
She wakes up Marcelo every morning, and he always "sleeps in bed", after which the couple would ride their scooters to work together, with Marcelo sitting in the back seat and putting his arms around his wife's waist.

When he arrived at the construction site, Marcelo did not say a word and worked silently.
Marcelo is said to be in charge of carrying sand and materials on the construction site and supervising the mixing of cement, and it is evident from Morath's photographs that Marcelo really did the hard work......

During the lunch break, the couple doesn't interact much with their co-workers, but instead sits quietly in a corner and chats softly about work and family.

Although the style of painting looks weird, Moraes has never been in the way of others, so no one has ever paid attention to her.
But later, there was still a gap in the couple's life, and Marcelo split his legs......
Moraes said it broke her heart that Marcelo dared to take another woman to a motel to open a room. She was going to expel Marcelo from the house, but for the sake of her children and her love for her husband, she finally chose to forgive.
Morath's love, there are really a lot of plays.

Moraes wanted a different way to tie her husband, and she soon became pregnant again.
She made a video to commemorate:
"We really wanted to have another one, Marcelo kept asking when we would be able to have another child and I said someday. Recently, I felt a little nauseous, so I went to take a test, and it turned out to be two bars! ”

For the sake of the newborn baby, Moraes, Marcelo and their son held a child's gender reveal party, which was attended by more than 40 family members and friends to witness the scene.
Moraes jumped for joy with a fireworks stick in her hand and a burst of pink smoke, exactly what she and Marcelo were expecting for their daughter.

By now, Moraes has "given birth" and she has given birth to twin daughters. The family has also become a happy three-child family......

Recently, they just celebrated their eldest son's second birthday, not to mention how happy they are.

But now, tragedy has befallen the family, a thief "kidnapped" the eldest son, he left a kidnapping letter cut from the newspaper and spliced together, asking Moraes for 1 million Brazil real (about 1.25 million yuan).
Moraes said neighbors told us that a man had been standing near her home since the morning, carrying a bag with red stripes, before her son disappeared.
Marcelo, on the other hand, believes that his son was kidnapped while he was out to buy bread, and when he came home, there was no one in the house and the door was still open.
"We're desperate......"

Moraise tried to go and call the police, but was "taunted" by the police for the disappearance of her toy son, which hit her harder.
"The kidnapping of Marcelinho (the name of the eldest son) has brought great grief to our family," she said. The kidnappers asked for 1 million, but we didn't have that much money, I couldn't even eat, and you still want to care about me so much......
My husband was also outraged, we didn't know what to do, we posted pictures all over the city......"

She said that we were doing what we could, but when we went to the police, we were ridiculed in front of the police, which was also rude.
"How can you joke about the disappearance of a two-year-old child?"
As for netizens, they don't seem to care much about Morath's thoughts:
"I think Marcelo has something to do with the case, he said he went out to buy bread, but he didn't have feet and was very suspicious......"

"I really can't laugh or cry......"

"What did I just watch? Why would anyone behave in such a disturbing manner? Although the missing poster did make me laugh out loud......"

"If the ransom is not paid, will she receive cotton thread (part of the victim)?"

I don't know if this kidnapping case is true or not.
But it feels like the only person who needs help in the whole story is actually Moras himself, if it weren't for the hype, such a life and state might need the intervention of professional therapy.
