Pa. Girl Hit With Game Controller Dies

Yahoo writes: "A 2-year-old girl died after being beaten with a video game controller by her mother's boyfriend, police said Tuesday. Darisabel Baez's mother overheard the beating Sunday but did nothing until she realized the girl was unconscious, police said.

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

Homicide was added to the list of charges against Harve L. Johnson on Tuesday; he was already in jail on counts including aggravated assault and reckless endangerment."

I cannot believe someone disagreed with you.

[LJWooly]

Apparently, someone finds this a happy story.

[Elvfam511]

she looks so cute man [email protected] that douchebag man kill him sh!t he doesnt deserve to live and whoever disagree with the first guy/gal (idk) is [email protected] up you just a piece a sh!t like that guy in the article man i wish can be brought back to life...... i feel so bad for the the mother omg man sh!t this sucks....

[sonarus]

Some ppl get a kick out of randomly disagreeing so i find it best to just ignore them that way they don't get the attention they are desperately craving

[Scarfy]

"I cannot believe someone disagreed with you."

That's because, as the main article has already proven, there are a lot of sick f*cks in this world.

[LJWooly]

I think it's shameful that someone would use a situation like the loss of a little girl's life in their quest for attention.

What an awesome life they must have.

I suggest articles like this are kept away from N4G in the future, if this is the N4G community responds to such a thing.

Anyway, bubble for you, sonarus.

@Scarfy:
I know that, we all do, but I thought, that with the recent attacks gamers have been recieving from politicians and the like, they would put a little effort into giving the impression that those who blame videogames for violence and the poisoning of children's minds may be wrong.

But they don't. Sometimes you have to wonder if those who use the gaming industry as a scapegoat have a point, sometimes. Look at how the N4G community responded to a little girl's death at the hands of a maniac.

Whatever, I'm out.

[Fishy Fingers]

Terribly sad.

But does this really belong on a site like N4G?

[proArchy]

This is game news as it affects the world's active stereotyping of gamers. You should know by now we're all violent miscreants with no regard for human life, but maybe those of us who aren't sociopathic child abusers should stand up and stop being apathetic. This man who beat this little girl to death may be a gamer, but he's a violent psycho first, and unfortunately mass media doesn't get paid enough to distinguish that fact. They just glaze over this awful abuse and label it as if gaming is the root cause.

[Fishy Fingers]

Im not talking about from N4G's point of view. More the family of the little girl who might not appreciate it being the talk about on computer game forums.

[GCO Gamer]

man that was sad my heart just miss a beat come on people we use controllers to play game not kill kids.

Why would someone do that ?

[Elvfam511]

disargee with this guy wtf man

[travelguy2k]

people kill people.

The Media best remember that as they tell this story.

[NIN64]

100% true travelguy2k. bubble.

[Marceles]

Very sad someone could do such a thing, and on another note, I'm really glad the media didn't go into details with what kind of controller it was...for obvious reasons here

[travelguy2k]

the Wii Nunchuck of course.

But seriously, this really isn't about the murder weapon and should be focused on the person. Cause really, based on how light weight all the game controllers are, virtually anything could kill someone if that was your intention..... Just ask Steven Segal...damn i revert to humor when i'm disgusted with humanity.

[Hooby]

obviously games are to blame

[NIN64]

obviously a joke (i hope), but retarded none the less. . .

[LJWooly]

Ah, ruined my day...

That is truly sad. Rest in peace, little girl...

[LJWooly]

Ugh... according to the guy who felt like disagreeing with me, this isn't a sad story, and the little girl, whose life was unfairly taken, shouldn't rest in peace.

You gamers are so awesome.

[Relientk77]

this is a really sad story

but i do have a question that ppl may find dumb but i was just wondering what kind of controller it was... wat system

[Fishy Fingers]

Exactly what difference does that make?

We're talking about a 2 year old girl's life being taken senselessly, this is NO place for fanboy sh!t.

[BubblesDAVERAGE]

Was it the original xbox controller ...that thing was huge

[Relientk77]

^ thats exactly wat popped into my mind when i read the story

[solidt12]

This is a very sad thing, but yes I was thinking the same thing. It had to be Xbox controller. Those things are very heavy. The Sixaxis couldn't of done this.

[SuperSaiyan4]

I think you are out of order to try to turn this into a joke, I am disgusted and upset at this happening and its extremely upsetting.

People who use video games to cause harm or death in this case have serious mental issues and should be locked up for life, why would anyone have that much anger to do such a thing to someone soo young?

[fenderputty]

deserves even more then just life. I hope he get the chair.

Very sad thing.

[LONEWOLF231]

Poor little angel, may she rest in peace!

If i were one of the cops i would of shot that FOOL on site!!!!!!!!

[jkhan]

May her soul rest in peace. What the hell is wrong with people. I mean everyone goes through a bad patch, its life, but seriously hitting an innocent child, for god sake. These people have really forgotten the basic notion of being a human being.

[Marceles]

Seriously...another case of a mother with an abusive boyfriend, but I put alot of the blame on her as well since this isn't the first time the little girl was hurt by him. The story said she had bruises from him from previous abuse, that should've ended right there...but she did nothing. And then they trying to revive her in a bathtub? It just doesn't get more stupid...

[juicebox]

I bet Mr Thompson is planning a case over this death, it disgusts me how news like this even exists. Sh1t happens in life and if you dont have the testicular fortitude to man up and handle your issues, and can only resolve your issues by beating a small child...I hope whoever did this gets repeatedly raped and beaten in prison.

[Marceles]

You're right, I didn't even think about that...Thompson can't wait to go to court with this.

[mirroredderorrim]

The womans boyfriend is beyond an asshole. It would be nice to watch him go through a gauntlet of large hulking men in speedos, with OLD XBOX1 controllers, and beat the hell out of him.

My heart goes out to the family.

[BigKev45]

Sad news, the guy should get life in jail, no doubt.
