Web Game Gone Wrong: Farmville Gains Avid Follower Allegedly at Cost of a Human Life

I was horrified to read as I had breakfast this morning about a death caused by other enthusiastic Farmville-playing.   A young, pretty, blonde 22-year old mother in Florida reportedly plead guilty to shaking her 3-month baby to death.

The reason she supposedly did it was the baby was crying, and that supposedly was distracting her from playing Farmville.

The article I read said the boy stopped breathing.  When he arrived at the hospital, he was found to have head injuries and a broken leg.

Earlier this year, someone wrote an article asking if a computer program had killed someone. In the back of my mind, I am wondering if this tragic story answers that question.

The game did not kill the baby.  But what did it do to the mother who seemingly did?

For that matter - what did it do for her, precisely?
