Girl dies after being beaten with video game controller

YORK, Pennsylvania (AP) -- 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 died Monday. Her mother's boyfriend said he beat the 2-year-old but didn't explain why, police said.

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.
Camacho said that because of the girl's death, new charges would be filed.
Johnson and Baez remained in custody Tuesday. His bail was set at $200,000; hers was $25,000.
Through police, family members declined requests for interviews Tuesday. Court officials said they did not know whether Johnson and Baez had lawyers to speak for them.E-mail to a friend

Did they say what kind of controller it was?

This is absolutely terrible. What is wrong with the world today? What purpose could he have to beat her up? Was she in front of the TV?

I suppose the humor I see in it derives from the fact that -- though I should not -- I can totally "see" some piece of shit beating a little girl up with a frickin' video game controller.

Not a beer bottle. Not a lamp. Not even a rolled up porno mag. A video game controller.

Welcome to the 21st century.

LOL. She probably cost him a career score on Halo or something.

Where'd all the priorities go....?
