Man kills 17-month-old over video game

Debmey

A North Philadelphia man has been charged with killing his young daughter after she was violently punched over a video game. "My baby is gone at the hands of her father," the 21-year-old mother Mia Turman. "I have to put her in the ground, I shouldn't have to do this."

When Turman went to take a nap, she left her 17-month-old baby Alayiah under the care of the 25-year-old father, Tyrone Spellman, who also goes by the name of Anwar Salahuddin.

Turman said that after she woke, "I asked why my baby not breathing. He says, 'She's breathing.' Her eyes were closed."

Turman then called police but it was too late to save Alayiah. "His confession was she pulled the cords in the game, the system is -- the box itself -- fell, and he was upset and then responsible for paying for the game, so he hit her in her face twice," Turman said.

Police arrested Spellman over the weekend and charged him with murder, endangering the welfare of a child and possessing an instrument of crime.

'Amr ibn Shu'ayb's grandfather said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Anyone who does not show mercy to our young people nor honour our old people is not one of us." [Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi]

In the variant of Abu Dawud, "...respect the rights of our old."

pfft pure stupidity. that baby was just 17 months old. what does she know?

My brother's son is about 1 and half years old and he too come and disturb me playing video games. I just give him the joystick for PS1 (or PS2) and let him mimic me playing video games.

I don't see what sort of mental case could kill a child because of a video game. Hopes he burns in hell for that. :pray:

Yeah that is true..Show in the Hadith and the Holy Quran where it stated that you should do what the man has done. Nowhere in the Holy Quran...

Yes I can fully understand that is a legit mitigating factor cos anyone who convert to islam must be insane.

why should this be discussed here? you did not make it clear. the article by itself doesn't indicate that it has anything to do with what this board is all about.
so I'll just move it to World Events board.

DARSITA

someone is really desparate trying to equate the religion with emotions of its followers.
