A 2-year-old girl died after being beaten with a video game controller
 by Apple 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."

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

Would "and other counts" happen to be MURDER.

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".

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.

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.

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.

If the boyfriend had abused the girl in the past, why the hell was the mother still with him? Sick.

Another one? This is sickening.

Oh, and I think providing a link would be appropriate.

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.

But I do admit that the first thing I thought of was the first Xbox controller. That thing was indeed a weapon.
