A 2-year-old girl died after being beaten with a video game controller
Apple | 5:16 PM on 04.08.2008 30 comments


"A 2-year-old girl died after being beaten with a video game controller by her mother's boyfriend and new charges are expected, police said Tuesday.

Darisabel Baez was pronounced dead late Monday at Hershey Medical Center, police Lt. Ron Camacho said.

The girl's mother, Neida E. Baez, 19, called for an ambulance Sunday saying her boyfriend, Harve L. Johnson, had brought the unconscious child to her, limp and wet from an attempt to revive her in a bathtub, a police affidavit said.

Johnson acknowledged beating the girl with a video game controller but did not say why, police said. Baez said Johnson had abused the girl in the past and said she heard the girl scream after Johnson beat her Sunday, according to the affidavit.

Johnson, 26, was charged with aggravated assault, reckless endangerment and other counts.

Baez was charged with endangering the welfare of a child. Detective Dana Ward said Baez was charged because she did not intervene or try to get help for Darisabel."

I bet it was an original xbox one.



Or this one

The guy should have blamed the Wii and said the wiimote slipped out of his hands.

"Johnson, 26, was charged with aggravated assault, reckless endangerment and other counts."

Would "and other counts" happen to be MURDER.
Timmeh's Destructoid Blog
So hang on, the guy tried to revive someone by giving them a bath?

I'd say he drowned the kid then thought "I know, if I make it look like another videogame related killing I'll get off easier".
EternalDeathSlayer's Destructoid Blog
That fucker deserves to die, as does his weakling mother for bothering to stay with a guy who she knew abused her baby. Hopefully they'll both die in a fire and then continue to burn in hell forever. Fuckers.
AngelsDontBurn's Destructoid Blog
Yay, something else that's stupid to blame on video games.
EternalDeathSlayer's Destructoid Blog
holy fuck my statement looks wrong. I meant the boyfriend needs to die. and the kid's mother. she needs to burn. fuckers.
Redzie's Destructoid Blog
Just the fact that the news story emphasizing that it was a game controller is proof of sensationalism by the media once again. This guy should be sent to prison where he'll be teabagged for real.
FlatTopJesus's Destructoid Blog
I believe that this is indisputable proof that video games should be banned in all forms. At least that was the conclusion I jumped to.
king3vbo's Destructoid Blog
Revive her in a bathtub? WTF
DrNutt's Destructoid Blog
But does the controller still work?
Cowzilla3's Destructoid Blog
Isn't this an old story? Maybe not.
Apple's Destructoid Blog
this was today
Arugala9's Destructoid Blog
I agree with EternalDeathSlayer.
B-Radicate's Destructoid Blog
I hear the same thing happens to EA testers.
Mxyzptlk's Destructoid Blog
If the boyfriend had abused the girl in the past, why the hell was the mother still with him? Sick.
TrailerParkJesus's Destructoid Blog
Another one? This is sickening.

Oh, and I think providing a link would be appropriate.
dv8withn8's Destructoid Blog
I'm guessing it was a PS2 controller. Given that the perpetrator has diminutive intelligence, he probably works at the local Burger King for minimum wage and can't afford anything else.
Spartacus's Destructoid Blog
Ugh, sick...Also, I agree with TrailerParkJesus.

JohnnyWadd's Destructoid Blog
Wow, controllers are FAR to expensive to be used for that nowadays, i would have used an ashtray.
Sharpless's Destructoid Blog
I'm with Ron on this one. Not funny.
Sharpless's Destructoid Blog
But I do admit that the first thing I thought of was the first Xbox controller. That thing was indeed a weapon.
milescosmo's Destructoid Blog
what a cunt, im sure he grabbed the first object he saw, fucking lunatic
Cowzilla3's Destructoid Blog
Isn't this an old story? Maybe not.

That bastard had better go to jail for the rest of his life.

Completely unforgivable...
Teen Idol's Destructoid Blog
These two fuckers deserve a sick level 3 Psycho Crusher that will devour them into ashes.
