Alexandra Tobias


JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A north Florida mother has pleaded guilty to shaking her baby to death after the boy's crying interrupted her game on Facebook.

Alexandra V. Tobias pleaded guilty to second-degree murder on Wednesday and remains jailed.

The Florida Times-Union reports that she told investigators she was angered because the boy was crying while she was playing the game FarmVille.

The paper also reports that she told investigators she shook the boy, smoked a cigarette to compose herself and then shook him again.

She will be sentenced in December. State guidelines call for 25 to 50 years, but a prosecutor said it could be shorter than that.

A telephone message and an e-mail sent by The Associated Press to her attorney weren't immediately returned.

4-year-old accidentally shoots mom with shotgun

A 4-year-old Washington state boy playing with a semiautomatic shotgun accidentally shot and wounded his mother on Monday.

Investigators believe the preschooler loaded a cartridge into a 12-gauge semiautomatic shotgun and fired while his mother’s back was turned, the Kitsap Sun reported. She was hit with birdshot in her left side.

The incident occurred in a bedroom while the woman was on the phone, according to the newspaper. The woman told investigators she didn't hear the boy load the cartridge or that he had gained access to the gun.

The boy’s father, who is also the woman’s boyfriend, had given the boy the cartridge earlier in the day so he could handle it. The boy had expressed curiosity about firearms, according to an investigator's report.

The boy's father was not at home at the time of the shooting.

I just hate people.

ATLANTA — Authorities say a driver enraged because a 17-year-old boy egged his Mercedes on Halloween fatally shot the prankster in the neck and throat as he tried to run away.

Atlanta police spokeswoman Kim Jones says the driver confronted the teen and fired 10 shots at him around 8 p.m. Sunday. The Fulton County Medical Examiner's office says the teen, Tivarus King, died as he was being taken to Grady Memorial Hospital.

Jones says officers dispatched to the scene in northwest Atlanta spotted a gold Mercedes driving by and detained the driver. She says the suspect is being questioned by homicide investigators but has not yet been charged.

SAN PABLO, Calif. -- A mother who abandoned her young son in the front yard of a San Pablo home turned herself in to police early Thursday, authorities said.

San Pablo Police Sgt. Dave Lewellyn told KTVU that the mother called police after seeing media reports about her actions.

“She said she was not a fit mother,” Lewellyn said. “She saw media reports about the child being abandoned and she contacted us. We’re looking at child endangerment charges.”

Lewellyn said the mother was being interviewed at the police station.

Witnesses told police that an African-American woman in her 20s wearing a brown jacket and a yellow backpack left a boy between the ages of 18 months and two-and-a-half years in the yard of a San Pablo around 8 a.m. Wednesday before running into a waiting cab.

“He was a fine little kid. A little black fellow,” said San Pablo resident Junius Wilson. “Saw him across the street over there.

After spotting the little boy, Wilson took him into his home and notified police.

“I picked him up and gave him a little kiss ,” said Wilson.

After arriving and assessing the situation, the authorities went to neighbors asking if anyone recognized the child.

“We're going to find out who did this,” said San Pablo Police Lt. Ken Bay.

Bays said the boy didn't speak clearly and can't answer questions about his name. The toddler was wearing a Dallas Cowboys shirt and was missing a shoe when he was found.

“Obviously if the child only had one shoe on, they were in a hurry to get away,” said Bay.

Bay said it appeared the mother was likely familiar with the neighborhood and picked the semi-secluded yard deliberately

“That was an opportunity to walk the boy down a breezeway around a corner out of sight of the cabdriver then flee in the cab and drive off ,” said Bay

Residents in immediate area who were approached by police said they didn't recognize the toddler from the neighborhood.

"He asked me if I had any grand kids and I said 'Yes I do,'" said neighbor Linda Oliver. "He went and got the little boy and I've never seen the little boy before."

Most said if the child lived in the neighborhood, they would know his face and likely his family by name.

did anyone see the kid that is 19 and broke into a house and killed the mom but the daughter survived? he blamed it on sons of anarchy.

All these people are fucking assholes! Gomez, like your AV dude!

Judges said he was agnostic and should have his custody of his children reduced because the mom was Christan.

I am starting a 'fight club' for anyone who wants to join. So far we're going to meet in my backyard, unless someone has a basement we can use. We can use gloves if someone brings them but I don't have any. I'm not looking to put anyone in the hospital, I just need to fight someone so if your interested help me out.

Haha. I'd show up and try to armlock this fool.

Teen misses senior season by birthday 12 hours too early

By Cameron Smith

Adam Sisson is a high school senior. The teenager has spent his entire life dreaming of his senior seasons in high school sports, where he expected to be a star for the Eastern Montgomery (Va.) High football, basketball and baseball teams. Then, just days before his final high school year began, Sisson was given a shock: He was told that he was too old to play in Virginia high school sports by exactly 12 hours.

As a result, the senior -- who turned 19 on July 31, the cut-off date to be within an age deemed eligible -- has spent his fall semester on the football sidelines and in courtrooms, trying to challenge the Virginia High School League statutes in hopes of re-gaining athletic eligibility for at least some of his final high school year.

[Related: High school team on probation because of uniforms]

According to WSET, WDBJ and the Roanoke Times, the senior had hoped to regain eligibility in time to play in at least one of Eastern Montgomery's football games, but a temporary restraining order filed by Sisson's father, Allen, to get the senior back on the field in time for the undefeated Mustangs' state semifinal game over the weekend was delayed Friday until Dec. 10, a date which officially ruled him out of the remainder of Eastern Montgomery's football season.

At the heart of Sisson's dispute against the state athletic association is the belief that the senior is being persecuted against for a learning disability. Sisson was forced to repeat the third grade because of that disability, which he and his father claim is justification for him to receive a unique hardship waiver that would allow him to continue playing despite his age.

Throughout the fall season, Sisson has sat on the sidelines in his No. 20 jersey, a part of the team essentially sidetracked into what would amount to a healthy scratch in hockey. The 19-year-old has practiced with the team, and was confident he could fit right in if he'd been granted the opportunity to play.

Since he wasn't given that chance, Sisson said he will keep cheering the Mustangs on from the sidelines, a fate which he and his father greeted with mixed emotions.

"Even if I don't play I'll still be on that team as a champion," Adam Sisson told WSET-TV. "No matter what. I'm still part of it, the team tells me... which I pretty much am. But I want to be a big part of it."

"I'm a little disappointed. But now we don't have to worry about the team being jeopardized, so that's OK," Allen Sisson told the ABC affiliate.

Now the duo will await the scheduled injunction hearing later this month, with the hope that Sisson will be given a chance to play on the Eastern Montgomery basketball team, at least until the state can challenge his application for a hardship waiver again.

"I think anybody would do the same thing for their son," Allen Sisson told WSET. "I'm fighting for my son... me and my wife both."






So if he is tooold to play high school sports per the school board, then why isn't he too old to attend the high school?

This keeps coaches from boarding 20 year old drop outs and having crush the freshmen kicker's collar bone.

That's common sense, this story is not.
