kill her baby.
A US woman has admitted shaking her baby to death because she got angry while she was playing FarmVille.
Alexandra Tobias, 22, pleaded guilty to the second degree murder of three-month-old Dylan Lee Edmondson.
She told investigators she became annoyed because the baby was crying while she was playing the Facebook game.
Outside the courtroom, prosecutor Richard Mantei said Tobias' plea will help avoid the family reliving the tragedy during a jury trial.
Jacksonville.com reports Tobias told investigators that she shook the baby, smoked a cigarette to compose herself and then shook him again.
A second-degree murder charge is punishable by up to life in prison in the US.

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!
I used to play that virtually 24/7 whilst pregnant but quickly cut the habit once my waters broke because I knew how addictive it was... I know people who set their alarms to get up during the night to check crops!
