AOL / FACEBOOK Splinters

The common maternal ANGLOCHAT-ter spends each day on average 03:42 hours on Skype, 07:33 hours on AOL and 09:23 hours on Facebook & FarmVille, often simultaneous. Add the 09:21 hours for sleeping and boozing, and you come up to the balance of time spent each day for the offsprings or - imagine that! - with honest work: none at all, unless cutting the grass or spraying the fields with manure on the cyber farm allows to rock or shake the toddlers on their lap. Sometimes with deadly consequences, as seen with derelict AOL members: whether it's a New Jersey based Abortion Anne, a Long Island brandi-ed cow, a Vegas slut, a psychotic Alabama Carrie or a suburbian Chicago psychopath, a white supremacist tramp from Florida turned fugitive in NE-England, or a tattooed German heffer in Cornwall; they all have in common child abuse and neglect in order to entertain themselves online.

One particularly appalling case is that of former AOL member A. Tobias.

The 22 year old mother from Jacksonville, FL, plead guilty to second degree murder in the death of her 3 month old son Dylan Lee. She claimed that she was so angry and agitated because her child was crying while she was playing on Facebook's FarmVille on her computer.

According to Tobias, she shook her baby while angry, then smoked a cigarette to calm herself down before shaking him again. The baby hit his head on the computer while she was shaking him, causing severe trauma and other injuries.

Internet addiction is a very real crisis as we know from Anglo-ers, and games such as FarmVille are designed to be addictive in order to get players to spend real life money on them. Unfortunately, sad incidents come out of addictions quite frequently and it is people like Tobias, Brenda, Vickie, Carrie, Anne, Nicola, Kendra etc. who give Facebook games a bad reputation and negative stigma.

Alexandra Tobias will be sentenced after her confession next month, and at this point could be looking at 25 years to life in prison.

Hush now, gotta CONCENTRATE on harvesting those crops. Can't have a crying baby disrupt that.
