The mother who shook her baby to death for interrupting her while she was playing Farmville !!!!

Alexandra V. Tobias , a 22-year-old mother from Jacksonville, Florida, has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for shaking her 3-month-old son to death after his crying interrupted her FarmVille game.

She told investigators that she shook 3-month-old Dylan Lee Edmondson, smoked a cigarette “to compose herself,” and proceeded to shake him again. The baby may have hit his head during one of the two shakings, she said.

FarmVille, named one of the “worst inventions” in recent decades by Time magazine, has more than 60 million members, most of whom access the game through Facebook. Some players have found it so addicting that they've lost their jobs and racked up debts north of $1,000. Needless to say, it is Ms. Tobias — and not the game itself — that is responsible for the death of her 3-month-old son.
