Chicago, IL –– Police have arrested a man after he posted a picture of his bound and gagged toddler on Facebook.
The image was posted by 21-year-old Andre Curry, and showed his 22-month-old daughter after he used blue painter’s tape to bound her hands and feet and cover her mouth. The caption read: “This is wut happens wen my baby hits me back. ; )”
He found out real quick that people were not winking back when the picture went viral and police started investigating, along with the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services.
Curry, a waiter at Applebee’s, is due in domestic court today to answer to charges of aggravated domestic battery. DCFS says they are checking the girl for any physical abuse but have no record of the family.
One of his Facebook friend’s said Curry would never hurt his daughter.
Weeeeeee!
“[He was] being playful with his child,” she said. “People play with their children differently.” o_O
God knows we’ve posted a plethora of dumbass stories involving dumbass parents doing dumbass things to their dumbass children and then posting the dumbass pics they took to dumbass Facebook. I’m sure this wont be the last.
Curry isn’t even the first person we’ve reported on doing this. Back in May a woman got into trouble doing pretty much the exact same thing. Last year we had the mother who got into trouble after posting a picture of her infant playing with a bong.
What kills me about these stories isn’t just what they do with the kids, but also the fact that in their worlds they figured posting a picture of their activities on a public forum is totally acceptable and their friends and family would feel the same way.
