Jacksonville Mother Kills Baby over FarmVille Interruption

By james_fudge

Media Post reports a horrible story about a mother who allegedly killed her baby for interrupting her playtime in the Facebook game, FarmVille.

Alexandra V. Tobias entered a guilty plea in court this week for the January murder of her infant son Dylan Lee Edmondson. The 22-year-old Jacksonville, Florida mother lost her temper when her child began crying while she was playing FarmVille on Facebook, according to the report. Enraged, she shook the baby once, smoked a cigarette, and then shook the baby again. At some point during this violence, the mother may have inadvertently hit the baby's head on something, according to her plea.

Tobias will probably be sentenced to life in prison without parole.

On a personal note, we extend our sincerest condolences to the family of Dylan Lee Edmondson. Read More
