Mom kills baby, for interrupting FarmVille computer game

Jacksonville mom shakes baby for interrupting FarmVille, pleads guilty to murder

Posted: October 27, 2010 - 11:13am

By David Hunt

A Jacksonville mother charged with shaking her baby to death has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.

Alexandra V. Tobias, 22, was arrested after the January death of 3-month-old Dylan Lee Edmondson. She told investigators she became angry because the baby was crying while she was playing a computer game called FarmVille on the Facebook social-networking website….(Full Story)

An update to the story explains:

According to court records, her child abuse arrest violated a six-month probation she began serving just a few weeks before after pleading no contest to a domestic battery charge.

There is nothing that explains whom she had been battering, but it could not have been her baby-son, as he was just three months of age when she killed him.

Sins of the mother…

Sins of the mother

Published: Wednesday, October 11, 2006

We have heard the story before. The names change, the province changes, the particulars of the custody case change, the age of the dead child changes, but some things stay the same when a mother kills her own children: Any objective observer can see the tragedy coming a mile away, the children are not removed from her toxic embrace before it happens, and the mother is not only insufficiently punished (if at all) for the crime, but receives public sympathy on the assumption she was driven to it by forces beyond her control.

Last week, Frances Elaine Campione, 31, locked in a year-long custody battle with her estranged husband Leonardo, was charged with the murder of their two baby daughters, one-year-old Sophia, and three-year-old Serena. Whatever the truth turns out to be in this case, warning signs had abounded: The Children’s Aid Society of Simcoe County, Ont. had kept an open file on this family for some time; former neighbours portrayed the mother as unstable and possibly suicidal; some described bizarre and frightening public behaviour; she had been hospitalized for treatment on several occasions.

In the past five years, there have been several comparable tragedies….(Full story)

The harsh reality of serious and fatal child abuse is that just about exactly 70 percent of it is committed by biological mothers and only about 9 percent or less by the natural fathers of children in families. (See also Child Abuse and Mortality, by Senator Anne C. Cools (1995), and Predominantly women, not men, kill children, by Walter Schneider (2002))

Escalating child abuse — outcome of systematic social engineering

Here is a link to an article that chronicles the unimaginable cruelty that led to the death of “Baby P”.

The second article identified in the following illustrates that the unimaginable cruelty that led to the torturous death of “Baby P” in the U.K. is the unavoidable consequence of efforts aiming at the planned destruction of the family.

The article identifies that the planned destruction of the family is being implemented through the systematic removal of natural fathers from the lives of their children.

Baby P and the Child Abuse Industry

Written by Stephen Baskerville

The Baby P killing reveals the child abuse industry at its most cynical. The Soviet-style ineptitude revealed daily is the product not of poor training or underfunding but of the logic inherent in bureaucratic politics.

We have long known what causes child abuse and why children like Baby P die. The vast preponderance of child abuse and child deaths occurs in single-parent homes. Very little abuse takes place in married, twoparent families. London’s Family Education Trust long ago demonstrated that children are up to 33 times more likely to suffer serious abuse and 73 times more likely to suffer fatal abuse in the home of a mother with a live-in boyfriend or stepfather than in an intact family.

Figures from the US Justice Department show that single mothers accounted for 55 per cent of child murders. Shorn of politically correct euphemism, what this means is that the principal impediment to child abuse is a father. ‘Fathers have often played the protector role inside families,’ writes Adrienne Burgess of Fathers Direct. A study in the journal Adolescent and Family Health found that ‘The presence of the father … placed the child at lesser risk for child sexual abuse.’

Yet instead of allowing fathers to protect their children, fathers are forcibly and systematically removed from their homes and children by family courts with the active support of social work bureaucracies….(Full Story)

Violent Women Redux

The following are excerpts from and links to a few articles on the subject of violent women.

Quote 1:

…Miss Laframboise neatly turns the MacKinnon ravings (such as “Compare victim’s reports of rape with women’s reports of sex. They are a lot alike”) upside down by comparing them with “flesh and blood” reports in the Landers column. The latter run the behavioral gamut. Some men behave badly; some are criminal abusers; others behave honourably. Still others write to praise their mothers, wives and daughters, and are praised by them. Since Miss Dworkin has stated that any woman who enjoys sexual relations with a man is a “collaborator,” and Miss Faludi believes that any man who wants to be a “good provider for his family” really intends only to oppress his wife, it’s doubtful they will accept such testimony.

The book takes aim at the studies NACSOW and other government agencies use to “prove” that Canadian men are engaged in a “war against women.” To back the claim that 29% of women have been assaulted by spouses, Statistics Canada included those who have been “grabbed” during an argument (a deplorable action but hardly a vicious one). The Panel on Violence went StatsCan several steps better by discovering that 98% of women have been assaulted. “Since obscene phone calls qualified as ‘violence’,” Miss Laframboise comments, “it’s surprising that the total wasn’t 100 percent.”

The results have been skewed, she charges, by such techniques as surveying unrepresentative populations (residents of battered women’s shelters), and extrapolating to the general population. Moreover, for the data to mean anything, women’s experiences had to be set beside men’s. Therefore StatsCan conducted a two-part study, but then refused to publish the figures on male victims of female violence. A shocking 17.8% of men “admitted to behaving in a ‘violent’ manner toward their spouses.” But so did 23.3% of women, and 6.2% acknowledged actually “beating up their partner” - compared to 2.5% for men….

Debunking Domestic Violence Statistics

The following is a copy of a letter written by Eeva Sodhi in response to a Globe and Mail article, 2002 02 23:

The Globe and Mail: Child-welfare time lost on paperwork, report says
By SIMON COOPER INVESTIGATIONS UNIT
[A summary of the article is appended —WHS]

The article bemoans the lack of social services workers in Ontario, for which reason violence against women, so it is alleged, cannot receive the full attention it deserves from the government of Ontario.

Sir,

The problem is not that there are insufficient numbers of social workers. Rather, it is the allocation of those resources. What is needed is to re-educate social workers and reassign their priorities.

It is of grave concern that the entire, and I mean entire, emphasis now is on the so-called family/domestic, etc. violence, which in the social worker lingo means “violence against women”. Children are linked as appendices to women and only receive attention when they can be used as propaganda tools.

Though the scientific community now has to admit that females are at least as violent as males, even if they may express it in a slightly different manner, often perpetrating their acts of aggression by proxy, all counselling is based on William Glasser’s Reality Therapy.

    Men’s therapy groups - to stop the violence that exists in relationships between men and women. Therapists use a discussion format to explore men’s violence in relationships and to propose non-violent alternatives for solving problems. Responsibility for one’s actions and consequence of choice are emphasized.

Women’s therapy groups - to increase women’s understanding of violence between partners and to provide them with strategies for protecting themselves against that violence. Therapists encourage open and frank discussion about past violence and explore methods of avoiding violence in the future.

The Ontario government spends $145 million [a year] in direct contributions to combat violence against women, yet there is no evidence to support the hypothesis that we are in the grips of an all out epidemic of wife beatings and homicides. Rather, all the available data point to the other direction: women are the aggressors, not the aggrieved, especially when it comes to child abuse, often fatal.

Quote 5:

Last but not least,

Violent women

It is a good thing that not all women are violent, but many women are.

It is a good thing that not all men fight back when women attack them, but some men do. They sometimes live to fight back. If men do fight back, they will live to regret that they did.

In our society it is alright for a woman to attack a man. It is never alright for a man to defend himself against an attacking woman.

If it does not sit right with you that there is never an excuse for men to fight back against a woman, you better have a look at the video accessible a bit farther down….(Full Story)

New Cassel mom pleads insanity in 3 kids’ deaths
Leatrice Brewer will be sent to secure psychiatric facility

BY ANN GIVENS

[Mineola, NY, USA]: Leatrice Brewer nodded almost imperceptibly when the judge asked her whether she killed her 18-month-old son.

“Yes,” she whispered.

“Take a deep breath and keep going,” Nassau County Judge Meryl Berkowitz said, before asking Brewer about the other two children she drowned last February in her bathtub: her daughter, 6, and son, 5. She answered “yes” to questions about them, too.

Brewer Monday pleaded not responsible by reason of mental disease or defect, and will now be sent to a secure upstate psychiatric facility indefinitely, prosecutors said. Brewer, prosecutors and Berkowitz all agreed to the plea after two independent psychiatric evaluations showed that at the time she killed the three children, she didn’t know that what she was doing was wrong….(Full Story)

F4L: Miranda Devine review of the movie “Gran Torino” gives full credit to the feat by Clint Eastwood, who made the movie “Gran Torino” in 32 days and turned it in a #1 box office hit that is even now, after running almost two months, still in number three position.

It is hard to deny success like that, but success in the box office does not mean a tidal change in social attitudes towards the elderly.

Miranda Devine recounts how Walter Kowalski (played by Clint Eastwood, age 78) saves “a young South-East Asian neighbour from local gang members. Like Eastwood’s Dirty Harry, Walt has some memorable one-liners, such as: “Get off my lawn!” - said with a rifle in his hands. Walt sits on his verandah drinking beer and muttering racial slurs at the immigrants who have taken over his Detroit suburb….”

I have not seen the movie yet, but I have seen a fair bit of life.  Unlike what is insinuated in the movie, namely that a 78-year-old Grandpa can succeed in saving his neighbourhood, in real life it is far more likely that he would be neutralized.

He would be neutralized as surely as the sun rises in the East, not by the neigbourhood gangs but by the local SWAT team of the police. A 78-year-old man with a rifle is no match for a SWAT team with body armor, armed and trained for urban warfare.

In real life the end of the story would have come fairly early on, right after Walt Kowalski delivered the Dirty-Harry-like one-liner, “Get off my lawn” - rifle in hand.

Miranda Devine closes her review of “Gran Torino” with:

Why, if old age is all insomnia, worn-out organs and crippling medical costs, does society bother with it? Alford cites an old African saying, “the death of an old person is like the burning of a library”. Old guys remind us there are other ways of being human.

That, too, is a wishful thought, but it is no more influential than to celebrate emerging life at the other end of the range.

Such celebrations are necessary to make the pruning of life at both ends of the age range less acceptable, but for now it is quite alright to kill children not yet born at the rate of about 50 million each year in the world.  The day does not seem far off when the killing in such numbers of those about to die of old age will bother no one any more than the killing of children about to continue life outside their mothers’ wombs does.

Humanity declared children to be a luxury, a luxury we can’t afford and must therefore kill.  Children grow out of being unproductive.  Still, it is doubtful that it is wise to kill children regardless of an age-limit for culling them.  The children we cull don’t fight back.  They are not only innocent but powerless as well.

There are far more compelling reasons for the killing of the elderly.  The elderly are not likely to regain their productivity once they have lost it due to any health reason, even if it is nothing more than the feebleness that comes with old age.  Still, they can, just as Clint Eastwood did in “Gran Torino”, pretend that they have enough power to resist whatever is being done to them. It may make them feel better.

Muslim Grannie: Jihadi By Day Rape Coordinator by Night
from MND: Your Daily Dose of Counter-Theory by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston

Folks, this is the kind of sickness we are facing with the world wide Jihadi assault on civilization. Here we have the heartwarming story of kindly grandma Um al-Mumenin. She’s just the local little old lady that all the kiddies love, that’s all. She bakes cookies, loves the kids and instructs all the local young ladies on the fine art of suicide bombing. Yep, she’s an all around community organizer, she is. But, before she takes up the important instruction of all those girls eager for martyrdom, she arranges to have them raped so that later when she recruits them they are mentally “prepared” to feel that suicide bombing is the only way to regain their lost “honor.”

Ain’t she just the cutest lil’ ol’ thing?…(Full Story)
