A 21-year-old Chicago father is due in court to face abuse charges after he posted an image on Facebook depicting his 1-year-old daughter bound with duct tape on her mouth, wrists and ankles. Click below to read the story.
Chicago Police Department spokesman Officer Ron Gaines told FoxNews.com that Andre Curry faces one count of aggravated domestic battery. He was arrested on Tuesday after he allegedly used purple painter’s tape to bind his daughter.
An image of the alleged abuse was posted on Curry’s Facebook profile, but it has since been removed. A caption accompanying the image read: “This is wut [sic] happens wen [sic] my baby hits me back. ; )”
Raines said Curry was scheduled to appear in domestic court at 1:30 p.m. It was unclear whether he had retained an attorney, Raines said.
Jimmie Whitelow, a spokesman for the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, told FoxNews.com on Tuesday that his agency was also investigating the image. Whitelow said DCFS officials have had no prior contact with the family.
Curry’s purported Facebook profile contains several messages from Saturday referencing the image. “Nasty dirty child abuser,” one posting read. “To do this to your daughter, your flesh and blood, is unbelievable.” Another posting read: “This is what happens when children have children. I won’t leave a negative comment because hate breeds more hate. This boy needs prayer, education, parenting classes, and therapy.”
