A young father is now the subject
of a police probe after a shocking photo of his daughter with her hands and
feet bound was posted on Facebook.
Andre Curry, 21, of Chicago, has
generated intense internet backlash after he posted the photo in July.
Last week, it appeared on
websites like TheDirty.com and The Smoking Gun.
Bad dad? Andre Curry, of Chicago,
has generated intense internet backlash after he posted this photo of his
daughter in July
In the image, the tape holds the
girl's arms and legs together at the wrists and ankles, with another large
piece of tape across her mouth.
The photo is slapped with the
caption 'this is wut happens wen my baby hits me back'.
Je’Vanna Cobbins, a friend of
Curry's, told The Smoking Gun that he was just “playing around,' and would
'never do anything to harm anyone.'
She said: '[He was] being playful
with his child. People play with their child differently'.
The Chicago Police Department
told MailOnline that they were tipped off to the photo and their special
investigations unit is looking into it.
A police spokesman said: 'It's an
ongoing investigation.'
Curry has not commented on the
issue.
He has since taken the photo off
Facebook, but as the image has spread on the internet, angry users have
targeted his page.
One commenter called Curry a
‘nasty child abuser'.
Another said: 'I hope you fall
down the stairs and land on a bunch of bullets. Hate hate hate hate!'
