¢ The recipient must have an urgent need to acquire a large 
sum of money. 


SCP-2190 introduces itself during these calls as the mother of 

(designated POI-2190-2), daughter of POI-2190-1. SCP-2190 
will go on to claim that POI-2190-2 is trapped in an abusive 
relationship with her husband, Albert (POI-2190-3), and will beg 
for the recipient of the call to help in ending the relationship between 
the two. A $5,000 (P224,850) reward is offered for successful 
termination of the marriage, with 10% delivered upfront. If the 
recipient agrees, SCP-2190 will provide them with POI-2190-2’s 
present location, as well as the locations of POI-2190-3 and their 
son, Philip (POI-2190-4). If the individual receiving the call 
agrees to these terms, they will receive $500 (P22,485) via wire 
transfer two to three days later. 


SCP-2190 was discovered in 2008 during a police investigation into 
the kidnapping of POI-2190-4. The abductors had sent POI-2190-2 
a ransom note demanding that she immediately annul her marriage, 
change her name, and return home to her mother. POI-2190-2 
chose to ignore the demands and enlisted the help of local law 
enforcement, who successfully located the boy and apprehended his 
captors. Field agents embedded in the Philippine judiciary brought 
SCP-2190 to the Foundation’s attention when POI-2190-2’s mother, 
whom the kidnappers named as an accomplice and whom 
POI-2190-2 testified to be frequently communicating with, was found 
to have been deceased for several years. 


SCP-251: The Deceptive Snow Globe 


SCP-251 on 13 October 2001 


Item #: SCP-251 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-251 is to be kept ina 
locked container at all times. No one is to enter the container alone. 
If anyone is found to have been left alone in the container for any 
amount of time, they are to be treated as violently hostile and 
terminated with extreme prejudice. 


The container is to be guarded by armed personnel at all times and 
guards should never allow anyone, regardless of clearance level, to 
move the artifact or be alone with it. 


Sounds of screaming, gunfire, and fires will be heard from within the 
container. This is normal. 


Description: Origin unknown. SCP-251 consistently appears to be 
a small snow globe. Attached is a series of photographs taken of the 
same artifact over time. This indicates that the snow globe is at least 
partially animate. However, when viewed directly by multiple people, 
there is no apparent movement except by a perpetual "blizzard". 
SCP-251 has not been moved since its arrival at Site-19, but the 
"snowflakes" have never ceased falling. 


The scenes depicted in SCP-251 are all extremely violent or morbid, 
occasionally depicting something fantastical, while mostly depicting 
more realistic brutality. 


All those who have been alone with SCP-251 for any amount of time 


have later displayed extreme violence, xenophobia, and emotional 
distress. 


SCP-251 on 25 November 1993 


After SCP-2190 was confirmed to be anomalous in nature, 
POI-2190-2’s family was placed in Foundation custody. They had 
originally been planned to remain as permanent on-site residents; 
however, their presence in Site-92 caused SCP-2190 to begin 
placing calls on confidential Foundation communication networks. 
As this constituted an unacceptable security breach, the family was 
administered amnestics and allowed to reintegrate into society. 
Extensive observation of POI-2190-2’s family life over the 
subsequent years has shown no evidence of abusive tendencies on 
the part of POI-2190-3. 


Document Log: The following is an excerpt from an interview with 
POI-2190-2 conducted during her brief time at Site-92. 


+ [Display document] 


My mother and father were both from here, in 
the Philippines, but she left [him] for an 
American so that she could get a visa and go 
to the US. | was left with my father. She never 
tried to contact me until | was 19. She called 
me on the phone, and | was so surprised 
because | thought she did not know me or care 
for me. She told me she had found a husband 
for me in America and she was sending [him] 
to me so we could be married. 


| told her “No, | have already have a boyfriend 
here.” And she asked me if he was American, 
and | told her no. Then she says | have to 
marry an American so | can come to the 
states. She says it is much better over there. | 
told her | love my boyfriend, so she calls me 
names and names, she says |’m so stupid, 
tells me | have to marry an American. She tells 
me that after all this time she still loves me and 
wants me to be at her house in America with 
her. Can you imagine, after nineteen years she 
doesn’t talk to me? 


But even still, she is my mother, and | was 


happy to know she still loves me, so | told her, 
“| will not leave Albert, because | love him very 
much, but | will try to get a visa and go to you.” 
She told me it’s okay as long as | come be 
there with her. Then she calls me every week, 
asking me question about Albert. She asks if 
he is a Catholic, and | lie to her, “yes,” 
because | am afraid she will hate him if she 
knows he is a Christian." 


Two days later | get a call, and my mother is 
screaming at me all these things. She tells me 
| need to leave Albert because he a Christian. | 
tell her, “No, | love Albert. | love that Albert is a 
Christian, and | am a Christian now, too.” She 
was very upset, she said she would pray for 
my soul to not go to hell. She said she would 
pray that Albert would leave me so | would 
stop being a Christian and be saved. | asked 
how she found out Albert was Christian, and 
she told me she called her family here in the 
Philippines and asked them to check and 
found out. 


She did not call me so much after that. When 
she talked she would always tell me how much 
she loved me and wanted me to live with her in 
her big house in the US, and every time she 
called she would ask me if | left Albert yet or if 
[he] left me. Several times Albert would come 
home from work and get attacked by people 
telling him he was going to hell. They hit him 
until he was on the ground, and the women 
even scratch him with their nails. | think it was 
maybe my mother’s family or friends, but when 
| ask her she said she did not know anything 
about that. 


Eventually my mother tells me that she will pay 
for my trip the US, and she will let me stay with 


her. She said she is very rich and does not 
have to work, and | would not have to work if | 
went to live with her. This was in 1995, Albert 
and | were already married and Philip was just 
born. We did not have so much money, so | 
got a work visa and decided to go to the States 
to get a job and send money home to family. | 
asked my mother if | could stay with her, and 
she told me it was okay. 


When | got to the States, there was a— what do 
you Call that— the big, long car? Ah, right. 
There was a limousine waiting for me at the 
airport. My mother’s house was very big. Her 
husband was the owner of a company and he 
had a lot of money. My mother threw a big 
party when | arrived. She gave me so many 
gifts and told me she loved me. She said the 
house was too big for just her and her 
husband, and she wanted her real children to 
be with her. She also told me she wanted 
Philip to live there, too. 


My mother did not want me to get a job, but | 
did anyway, because | needed to send money 
to Albert. After a few weeks, my mother came 
to my room with a very expensive dress, and 
said she would take me to a party at her 
friend’s house. The dress was very nice, and | 
had been working very hard, so | agreed. 


But then when we got inside the car, she drove 
us to some kind of nightclub. | asked her, “Why 
are we here? You said we were going to your 
friend’s house.” And she laughed and told me 
it was a Surprise. She wanted to give mea 
good time. We were already there, so | went 
inside. My mother kept telling me to drink, 
giving me more and more drinks. | did not 
drink them, but | pretended to. 


When it was late, my mother brought me toa 
man named Randall. She said he was rich and 
that he wanted to sleep with me, and he could 
even marry me and get me a permanent visa. | 
asked my mother, “Is this why you took me 
here to the states? So you could get me drunk 
and sleep with an American? Don’t you know 
I’m already married to Albert?” And she tells 
me to forget about Albert, that | need to marry 
an American. Imagine, even though | have 
already a husband and a son! 


| made my mother take us home. She was 
very mad, but she did it anyway. After that, she 
was always bringing men to the house. She 
told me again and again that | needed to get 
married to an American while | am still 
beautiful and 26. 


One night | told her, “Mom, please stop. | love 
Albert very much, not because of money, but 
because | love him so much, and we are so 
happy together.” | told her | will never leave 
him. Even though it was cruel, | said, “I will not 
abandon my child and my husband like you 
did! You left us for money and toys and 
parties, and you never cared about me for 19 
years until you realized you wanted me! You 
don’t love me, you only want me like a dress or 
a doll. You only love yourself!” 


She got so angry then, it was like a demon 
was inside her. She was screaming and 
screaming and throwing things everywhere. 
Finally her husband had to come and take her 
away to their room. [He] told her | was an 
adult, and | should marry who | want. And so 
my mother promised to stop bringing men to 
the house, but | think it was only to make her 
husband happy. | told him | wanted to go 


home, so he bought me a ticket and | left the 
next day. 


When | was back in the Philippines, | did not 
hear from my mother again until, | think, 2002. 
She said her husband had died and she was 
very lonely. She wanted me to come back to 
the US and to bring Philip, but Albert would 
have to stay behind. | told her “no,” but she 
kept calling and calling. | stopped answering 
her. 


Then there started to be rumors that Albert 
was hitting me. Even at church, people said 
they heard the rumors. | knew it was my 
mother again. | told Albert, “Maybe she thinks 
you will leave me if she makes rumors.” He 
told me it was okay, and he would never leave 
me. Ever since we met, we have always loved 
each other so much, and we are always happy 
together, even when we had no money, and 
even now that we are here in this place. 


My mother never stopped calling me, and 
never stopped making rumors. My husband 
would get attacked, and several times he was 
arrested, and | had to explain to the police 
what was happening. One time a man 
punched me in the face, and apologized and 
told me that someone had given him a lot of 
money to punch me. Then another man hit me, 
and after that | was always being attacked, 
and people thought it was Albert. We moved 
many times, but everywhere we went it 
happened. 


Several times Albert said that he would leave if 
| wanted him to. He did not want me to be hurt 
anymore, and he did not want Philip to grow 
up being told his father was a wife beater. | 
told him that as long as he wanted to be with 


me, | would never ask him to leave. He was 
the only thing in my life that made me happy 
after my mother caused me to suffer so much. 


Albert and Philip and | have suffered so much 
because of my mother. Every night | prayed to 
God, “Please, Lord, let her die so she can no 
longer make my family suffer.” And | also 
prayed for forgiveness, because she was still 
my mother, and | knew | should love her. And 
you know, | do still love her, even until now. | 
cannot love what she does to my family, but 
she is still my mother, and | hate the things 
she does but | still love. 


The last time | talked to her on the phone, | 
said, “I still love you even though | also love 
Albert. My love for you is not less because | 
also love him.” And she cried and cried and 
told me that she’s lonely in her big house. She 
said her house was always getting bigger and 
it would not stop. She told me that sometimes 
she gets lost in her big house, and it’s full of 
toys and dresses for her children and her 
grandchildren, but she is all alone and she 
can't get out. 


| don’t know if she will ever stop making our 
family suffer, but | do not feel angry at her 
anymore. | know that as much as she is 
hurting us, she is hurting even more, and that 
is because of the things she did when she was 
alive. | pray for her soul every day. Even if she 
could no longer make her phone calls, and we 
were happy here, | would still pray for her to be 
at peace, because she is my mother. 


Addendum: The following is a statement from SCP-2190's 
supervising researcher, Dr. Jethro Bostenero, regarding SCP-2190’s 
containment procedures: 


Over the past few years, a number of colleagues have 
approached me with concerns about SCP-2190’s 
containment. Essentially, the question people seem to 
have is, “Why are we spending so much money and 
manpower on the current containment procedures when 
the anomaly could potentially be rendered inert by 
separating POI-2190-2 and POI-2190-3?” 


Rest assured that alternate containment procedures 
were proposed and considered. The containment 
procedures that are currently in place were specifically 
selected and approved by the O5 council for the 
following reasons: 


Firstly, intentionally separating POI-2190-2 and 
POI-2190-3 would constitute the attempted neutralization 
of an anomalous phenomenon. Neutralization attempts 
are only to be carried out if the anomaly in question 
poses a significant risk to normalcy and humanity at 
large. SCP-2190 does not meet this requirement. “We 
are not the Coalition, we contain, not destroy” is an age- 
old mantra that I’m sure you’re tired of hearing, but it’s 
still very applicable to this situation. 


Secondly, the present set of containment procedures 
aren't nearly as extravagant as detractors have 
suggested. It’s standard practice to have undercover 
field agents in large population centers, and Baguio is no 
exception, so we're not losing any extra manpower. The 
modified SIM cards are paid for by the sales of the 
phones themselves, and therefore cost us nothing. 


There is also a third reason, which is, quite simply, 
sentiment. It’s no secret that suicide rates are high 
among Foundation personnel, a fact that is generally 
attributed to the difficult decisions we have to make and 
the actions we have to perform for the greater good. 
SCP-2190 is something of a victory, a rare case in which 
containing an SCP means allowing a family who has 
endured a living hell to finally live happily ever after. The 
value of the morale boosts provided by these feel-good 


stories cannot be overstated. 


If you have any other questions or concerns regarding 
SCP-2190, feel free to call me any time during regular 
business hours. 


— Dr. Jethro Bostenero
