A 24-year-old Homosassa man was charged Thursday with suffocating his 1-year-old son because he wanted to have time to play video games, the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office said.

Cody Wygant was charged with third-degree murder and willful child neglect, the sheriff’s office said.

Wygant was being held in the Citrus County Jail.

A judge on Friday set bail for Wygant at $100,000 with his next court date scheduled for May 23.

Citrus County Fire Rescue responded to Wygant’s home after receiving an emergency call at 8:21 a.m. Thursday that the child, Daymeon Wygant, wasn’t breathing.

Daymeon was transported to Seven Rivers Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, the sheriff’s office said.

During an interview with investigators, Wygant confessed that he suffocated his son to be able to play video games, the sheriff’s office said.

This male animal is most definitely not a man.

The Video games are not the problem.

THIS is the problem:

“Wygant was born and raised in California, where he has an extensive criminal record that includes trespassing and rape, the sheriff’s office said.”

Yet he is breeding and watching young children. Only bright side to this, they took another very young (3 month) child away. Hope they never get her back, but you never know.

Dear God. What a sick excuse for a human being to do this to a child. May he RIP.

I haven’t been around gamers very much but from what I have seen in my own family this stuff is more addictive then coke. I wonder if it was designed that way?

They seem to affect people differently. I've tried a few times, but get bored after 5 minutes.

What concerns me is the "first person shooter" thing.

By 1946 the U.S. Army had completely accepted Marshall's World War II findings of a 15 to 20% firing rate among American riflemen, and the Human Resources Research Office of the US Army subsequently pioneered a revolution in combat training that replaced the old method of firing at bull's-eye targets with deeply ingrained operant conditioning using realistic, man-shaped pop-up targets that fall when hit.
