Yeah, you read it right. A 22-year-old mother essentially murdered her 3-month-old baby because its crying interrupted her Facebook FarmVille game. In what seems to be a disturbing trend, behavior as a result of addiction to entertainment on electronic devices is leading to serious encounters with the law. Just recently a woman fled with her boyfriend's PS3 because of his addiction, at which point he proceeded to run her off the road to get it back.
A 22-year-old woman charged with shaking her baby to death pleaded guilty Wednesday to a charge of second-degree murder and faces 25 to 50 years in prison. Alexandra Tobias was arrested on charges of aggravated child abuse and murder after her 3-month-old son, Dylan Lee Edmondson, died in January. Prosecutors said Tobias admitted to becoming angry because the baby would not stop crying while she was playing Farmville on Facebook.
