The Sun Times reports that 21-year-old Andre Curry was taken into custody yesterday and charged with aggravated domestic battery after he posted a photo on Facebook of his daughter bound with duct tape.

Chicago police have been investigating the incident since being notified of the photo on Dec. 14, spokesman Michael Sullivan said.

DFACS has also confirmed they are investigating the child cruelty aspects of the case. DFACS has had no prior contact with the family.

Curry, of the 6100 block of South Racine Avenue in Chicago, posted the photo on Facebook in July, along with the caption “this is wut happens wen my baby hits me back”. The baby girl, who appears to be about 2, has duct tape on her mouth, and bound tightly around her wrists and ankles.

Je’Vanna Cobbins, a friend of Curry’s, told The Smoking Gun that Curry was just “playing around,” with the little girl.

The photo has since been removed from Facebook, according to The Sun Times. Facebook has a policy prohibiting content that is “hateful, threatening, or pornographic; incites violence or contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence”.

Curry is being held in jail until his bond hearing on Wednesday.

In the very near future a brave president will be elected who will sign a bill into law preventing hoodrats from birthing babies — unless they can prove that they (and their baby daddies) are financially and emotionally fit to raise children.
