Woman Pleads Guilty to Killing Baby for Interrupting 'FarmVille'
After her 3-month-old son Dylan Lee Edmonson died in January, 22-year-old Alexandra Tobias was arrested. During her interrogation, Tobias told authorities that she had shaken young Dylan because he was crying while she was playing 'FarmVille' on Facebook. According to her statement to investigators, she shook the infant once, and then smoked a cigarette before returning to shake Dylan again. She said it was possible that he had hit his head as she shook him.The Jacksonville, Florida mother had her day in court Wednesday, and pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, which could lead to life imprisonment. Prosecutor Richard Mantei, however, said that state guidelines call for a 25- to 50-year sentence.

SICK, SICK, SICK!!! LIFE for sure.

I can't believe this....people wonder why I don't get involved in Farmville. It addicting and I just can't believe that this mother actually shook her son because he was crying. WTF is wrong with her. You would think at 21 she would have enough common sense to know that this is damaging to her child. Just another prime example of babies having babies. They don't want to give up their lives and their playtime because they have a child. They should have thought before they created that precious gift from God. I hope she gets life in prison with no chance for parole. But keep her away from the prison nursery!!!

How did I guess this happened in Florida long before I got to where it said the woman's town of residence?
leleOct 30th 2010 3:04AM
Whatever!!!! This probably wasn't the first time the poor baby was abused or neglected. She should definately go to prison. A law should be passed for both men and women who abuse ANY child should be fixed where they can never have kids or be around any EVER!!!!!

25-50 years? For KILLING YOUR OWN CHILD (on account of Farmville, no less).
She deserves to be shot.

ANY crime involving children in EVERY country they NEED the DEATH penalty bought back,at her age I had TWO babies & she needs to GROW Up
Butterfly WhispererOct 31st 2010 2:20PM
Really? She killed her baby because he messed with her game? what kind of moronic, evil thing is that to do? She is lucky she was only charged with second degree murder and pleaded out because if I'm not mistaken Florida is a death penalty state and this would warrant it. While I don't agree with it (Death penalty) sometimes I have to reconsider it when stupid people like this do something so horrible.

Farmville overrated.
They sure it was a cigarette and not crack?
