Woman Blames FarmVille for Killing Her Baby

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Why did no-one else respond to this?

You have a 22 year old mother who obviously doesn't care about the welfare of her child and then she blames something after pleading guilty?

Fuck her. Lock her up and chuck away the key.

Then find the people responsible for letting her look after the child and sue them with criminal negligence.

The fact she can't even remember how she killed him makes me physically sick.

shaking a baby because you're angry is completely beyond the pale no matter what the circumstances and I certainly hope that Tobias' time in prison is a long and horrific experience that comes to a brutal end in the back corner of the laundry room. Evil can always find a way to justify itself. Given Zynga's history and the dodgy reputation it's already saddled with, however, this kind of publicity is just about the last thing it needs.

I have never heard of a pissed editor before :|

Shaking a baby is inexcusable. I remember the guy who made the ipod touch app that was just a normal baby app, untill you shook your ipod too much and the baby "died"

I certainly hope that Tobias' time in prison is a long and horrific experience that comes to a brutal end in the back corner of the laundry room

Okay, I get what she did was terrible. But that's a little sadistic isn't it?

There is one rule in prison: Don't molest or kill children. If the people in prison find out she killed a baby, this is exactly what will happen to her. It's the one thing they don't tolerate. You might have killed your dad, you might have killed and raped your brother, but you don't fuck with kids

I dunno, this could a good tactic for us serious gamers if people start blaming farmvilles for murder could detract from violent games!

 

[Danzaivar]

I'm sorry, but did you just say you hope she gets shanked in the prison laundry room? That's cold.

Then again she does sound like a massive ***** who shouldn't have ever had kids.

The addictiveness of those Facebook Zynga games is concerning, I'm surprised there hasn't been an outcry against them. Addictive games like Farmville or Mafia Wars or whatever are more a harm to people than violent imagery or the ability to kill prostitutes in GTA4.

Of course no excuse could ever justify the killing of an infant like that and 'Because it interrupted my Farmville game' seems particularly weak.

..Yeah, no. Take the fucking responsibility lady, you are adult. Video games don't make you do anything. You do.

This. It isn't the game's fault she killed her baby, it's her and a lack of self-control. And what sort of sick fuck takes it out on a baby when they're angry?!

Andy is nothing if not sadistic.

*Looks at face*

Crystal Meth is nothing compaired to FarmVille. Jesus Christ Monkey Eater, 22 years old? Is she responsible enough for a baby? Clearly FarmVille is NOT the problem. She just wants something to blame, ironically it's that what she likes more than her own child!

 

[Spectre4802]

I don't know what to say. I am at a total loss for words.

What's worse is that anti-gaming people will cite and use this for their own insidious purposes.

If Farmville was to blame, then there'd be a lot more shaken babies. No, she did this because she's an angry person. If not Farmville, then she'd just end up shaking her baby during some daytime TV show. She's just a terrible mother. The headline should read "Terrible mother shakes her baby to death, then tries to blame a Facebook game."

I'm just glad she didn't blame a game I actually play.

 

[Luftwaffles]

Are you strong enough.......Never EVER shake a harddrive...imean a baby..

 

[Eicha]

Maybe when she gets out she'll see that all her farm stuff is dead, and ragequit the human race. That would be interesting indeed.

And the whole "oooh videogames made me do something bad ooooooh" thing is really getting old. Organized religion has made people do much more horrific things in history.

Jebus H Price...Imagine if she was playing street fighter.

On a more serious note:- The mind boggles at the sheer...ridiculousness of that excuse, I mean I can get shirty if something like the phone interrupts me during a gaming session or something, but your own child...I've got no words.

>see the picture
>try to understand
>look at her face again
>derp

seriously

 

[WanderingFool]

Burn *****. Heres to hoping you get raped by Big Bu... Hmm, whats the female equvilant to Big Buba?

 

[Sanguich]

While I agree that killing you're own baby is a horrible crime deserving of punishment, I think that saying she should come to "a brutal end in the back corner of the laundry room." is uncalled for and awkwardly vindictive.

 

[therandombear]

I hate zynga aswell, but this is just wrong, "Noes I kille mah baby...hm maybe I can blame videogames, but I haven't played any...aha, Farmville. Jackpot!"

Lets just hope that there are no Morgan Freeman characters in there that can get her posters and a rockhammer...>.>

 

[Covarr]

Do you guys not know how to read? At no point did she say it was Farmville's fault, just that she was playing it when the baby made her angry. She plead guilty, for crying out loud. Try to learn what the word "blame" means.

P.S. Thanks
