一般来讲，我们从玩社交游戏的用户那里听到的都是愉悦休闲快乐的，但是事实上我们还往往能看到部分沉迷于社交游戏的玩家做出的一些不符合常理的举动。

之前，据据英国每日邮报的消息，英国当地一33岁女性数月内每日沉迷于名为Small World的社交游戏，忽视了对家庭的照顾致使她的三个小孩经常处于挨饿的状态，她圈养的狗也因为缺少食物饿死。为此该女性不得不接受来自警方的指控。

现在据games网站的报道，美国佛罗里达22岁的妈妈Alexandra V. Tobias被指控犯有二级谋杀的罪责（案发时间今年1月20号），罪名是谋杀自己三个月大的儿子Dylan Lee Edmondson。据Alexandra V. Tobias自称她在玩farmville的时候她的儿子大一旁大哭大闹不停导致的。

根据Tobias的说法，改名母亲生气地揪着小孩子来回摇晃，然后在抽了根烟后，继续又晃了一次。Edmondson可能是因为这样脑袋装上了电脑，而发生了意外。

因特网上瘾是一件很糟糕的事情，而社交游戏为了吸引用户持续投入游戏，设置了大量沉迷因素。

目前zynga还没有对该惨剧发表任何的看法。

据在线数据分析机构Lightspeed Research的调查数据称，58%的社交网络用户声称自己同时也是社交游戏玩家，其中更有17%的社交游戏玩家称自己是游戏的“成瘾者”。

但是Lightspeed Research的研究没有更具体的数字揭示这些声称自己“上瘾”的玩家当时是懊悔的亦或者是乐在其中。（本文由游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译）

Most of our articles here about FarmVille are happy newsbits about the latest features and fun in the game. Unfortunately, a story today gives a glimpse into the truly tragic side of game addiction. Alexandra V. Tobias, a 22 year old mother from Jacksonville, FL, plead guilty to second degree murder today in the death of her 3 month old son Dylan Lee Edmondson. She claimed that she was angry because her child was crying while she was playing FarmVille on her computer.

According to Tobias, she shook her baby while angry, then smoked a cigarette to calm herself down before shaking him again. The baby may or may not have hit his head on the computer while she was shaking him. The incident happened earlier this year on January 20th.

Internet addiction is a very real crisis, and games such as FarmVille are designed to be addictive in order to get players to spend real life money on them. Zynga have not commented yet about this tragedy and it is unlikely that they will. Unfortunately, sad incidents come out of addictions quite frequently and it is people like Tobias who give Facebook games a bad reputation and negative stigma.

Alexandra Tobias will be sentenced in December, and at this point could be looking at 25 years to life in prison.（source：games）
