Please note that other than what the killer was doing before he committed the murder, this story has nothing to do with video games.

The 24-year-old Florida man said he was annoyed that his young son's incessant crying was preventing him from playing video games, according to investigators. He smothered the toddler until he became lethargic, and the child died after being left unattended

A Florida man has been charged with third-degree murder and child neglect after allegedly smothering his infant son to death while playing Xbox video games, authorities said Friday.

Cody Wygant, 24, said he was irritated that his 16-month-old son Daymeon Wygant’s incessant crying was preventing him from playing Xbox, investigators said. Wygant smothered the boy’s nose and mouth for several minutes until the child became lethargic then left him in a playpen unattended to for five hours, according to authorities. Daymeon wasn’t breathing when emergency responders arrived at the house Thursday morning and was declared dead at a hospital, the Associated Press reports.

“It is inconceivable that a father could kill his infant son—it just baffles the mind,” Sheriff Jeff Dawsy said.

Wygant’s girlfriend, the child’s mother, was not home at the time of the incident. The couple has a three-month-old daughter in the care of state social services.


I would say that this has made me lose all faith in humanity but the truth is that I haven't had any faith in humanity for a very long time. What's happening is that people keep stepping over the limit over and over and over again.

This is simply disgusting. Many will be quick to blame video games for this but the truth of the matter is that this monster could have been doing anything else at the time and the same tragedy would occur. Hell, he could have been playing checkers and he would have done this.

One year old and his life was just snuffed out; he didn't even get a chance to LIVE. That's just f*** abominable. How a convicted rapist could even be allowed to have a child is beyond my comprehension but that's beside the point.. I normally think that police brutality is a bad thing but in this case, I think the cops should have taken justice into their own hands and beaten him to death and tazed him until he's reduced to ashes. Since they didn't though, this guy needs to be sentenced to death without question; he has absolutely nothing to offer society. Do they think he'll get out when he's 70 years old and become a productive member of society? No, he wont. I don't want our tax dollars being wasted keeping this human refuse alive.

When a baby is murdered, everyone has a right to be angry, on the internet or otherwise.
