Mother Who Killed Baby for Interrupting FarmVille Pleads Guilty to Murder

by Robert Quigley | 9:18 am, October 28th, 2010

Just an awful story coming out of Jacksonville, Florida: A woman named Alexandra V. Tobias has pled guilty to second-degree murder after killing her baby for interrupting her game of FarmVille with its cries.

The Florida Times-Union reports that Tobias, age 22, became angered when her 3-month old child, Dylan Lee Edmondson, cried when she was trying to play the Facebook-based social game.

“Tobias told investigators that she shook the baby, smoked a cigarette to compose herself and then shook him again. She said the baby may have hit his head during the shaking.”

Tobias’ crime could leave her with a sentence of life in prison; Florida’s state guidelines call for 25 to 50 years, however. Her sentencing hearing is scheduled for December.

    They should make a ‘hacked’ version of ‘Farmville’ and let the baby killer play it. Instead of crops, babies will sprout crying in unison, ‘Mommy why did you kill me?’.

     how do you or anyone know that she doesnt have remorse? My sweet little baby died when he was 8 days old. I did not shake him i did not hurt him and he died from sids and i feel guilt for not saving him. This poor mother who made this awfull mistake. i wonder tho if she was on drugs. i cant imagine shaking a baby to death, it happens more often than you think . really has nothing to do with farmville. im sure she gets mad and shake him other times too. please have compassion for her while she spends her life in prison. yes she should get the full sentence, or even shook to death herself. just because she deserves to rot, doesnt mean she dont regret it, sad.
