A Chicago man is under investigation by police and child protective services for binding his baby girl with duct tape and posting a picture of her on a social networking website. Andre Curry, 21, posted the photo on his Facebook page last July. But the photo recently showed up on other websites, sparking a police investigation.

In the caption, Curry indicated that he duct taped the child’s mouth, hands and feet because she hit him. “this is wut happens wen my baby hits me back”, he wrote in the fragmented text language that is typical of young people today.

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

She said: “[He was] being playful with his child. People play with their child differently.”

What is wrong with our people? If President Obama would take action to stop hoodrats from breeding, this sort of thing wouldn’t happen. I mean, how hard can a baby hit a grown man? Clearly Curry lacks parenting skills and patience.
