(Newser) – Chicago police are investigating a father who posted a Facebook photo of a young girl, apparently his daughter, whose feet, hands, and face are bound with duct tape. "This is wut happens wen my baby hits me back," said the caption accompanying the photo posted by Andre Curry, 21. A friend of Curry's insisted Curry was "being playful with his child; people play with their child differently," reports the Smoking Gun. But another friend's comment was of a different nature: "You goin' to jail." The girl appears to be leaning against a baby dressed in a snowsuit. Curry has removed the photo and has refused to comment to the media. Police said the probe is "ongoing."
