Mother Kills Baby For Crying While She Played Farmville

It's not often that I get upset by the news we cover on AllFacebook but today is an exception.

A young woman from Florida has just pleaded guilty to second-degree murder of her baby son because he interrupted her FarmVille game with his crying.

Alexandra V. Tobias, a 22-year-old from Jacksonville, Florida, declared her plea on Wednesday before Circuit Judge Adrian G. Soud, according to a report in The Florida Times-Union.

Tobias was arrested in January. She reportedly told investigators that she shook the baby, smoked a cigarette "to compose herself", then shook him again. She said the baby might have hit his head during one of the two shakings. He was just three months old.

Tobias is the one that killed her baby boy, not the developers at Zynga. FarmVille is a cooperative, non-violent game and one that withstands interruptions easily

Looks like a case of voluntary manslaughter. It's a shame what the game addiction can do to a human being.

Reminds me of my MSN Chat days. Then nobody would let me babysit any longer
