MindCrime Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A Jacksonville woman has pled guilty to killing her baby son over a game on the popular social networking site Facebook. 22 year-old Alexandra V. Tobias says her three-month old boy had been crying while she was trying to play ‘Farmville’. Tobias said she became enraged and told authorities that she shook the baby; then smoked a cigarette to calm herself down, before shaking him again. She also stated he "may have hit his head during the shaking". The boy’s death was classified as second-degree murder, a charge that carries the possibility of a life sentence in prison. Tobias entered her plea Wednesday. A second-degree murder charge is punishable by up to life in prison. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 I hope she at least had the high score for the day. "Never shake a baby! Never!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Someone needs to shake her until that pea size brain of hers explodes. I have no empathy for anyone who hurts an innocent child. I hope she gets what she deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluesky Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 I'm so glad she had the bright idea to calm herself down with a smoke. "My baby might be brain damaged. Well, time for a Kool. That menthol taste will make me a better mom." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 "He may have hit his head during the shaking." His own head? At 3 months, he was powerful enough to struggle with her while she was shaking him to ram his own head into a table? Let me have just 5 minutes with her. Make it 1. It won't take long.

pinkstones Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Some people should just be summarily executed with no trial. She's one of those people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel2Velvet Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Does it seem to anyone else that babies in America aren't valued as highly as they once were? If she had merely eliminated the baby intrauterine 3 months previously, she could have played Farmville unimpeded and considered wise in her choice. What a difference 3 months can make!

Ombre Vivante Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Does it seem to anyone else that babies in America aren't valued as highly as they once were? If she had merely eliminated the baby intrauterine 3 months previously, she could have played Farmville unimpeded and considered wise in her choice. What a difference 3 months can make! You're right. Also, both situations are the product of a lack of [real] sexual education in the school system: condom usage and birth control usage, results from having unprotected sex, etc. It wouldn't hurt to have an ethics class in high school either. Look at failin' palin's elder daughter and her boyfriend, for example - young, ignorant or flat-out stupid, unmarried, and with little regard for their respective futures and that of their child Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
