A
father taped up his little daughter, stuck her on a wall, snapped a
picture and posted it on Facebook, according to court proceedings.
The young father accused of tying up and putting tape over the mouth of his 22-month-old daughter and then post the photo on his Facebook page, was acquitted on Tuesday of one count of false imprisonment, but the judge said he needed more time to decide on more serious charges of aggravated domestic battery.
Lawyer Sam Adam Jr., who represents Andre Curry, 22, argued that his client was a good father he was being playful and that the child was never in danger. “It was a stupid thing to do, there’s no doubt about it,” Adam told Judge Lawrence Flood.
“But we are asking you to find him not guilty of some very serious charges.” judge held off a ruling on charges of aggravated domestic.
According to testimony Tuesday in a brief trial before Flood, Curry was playing with the child in his home last December when he grabbed a roll of blue painters tape, tied the girl’s hands and feet together and put two strips of tape over her mouth. Curry then took a picture of his daughter on his cell phone and posted it on his Facebook page.
At the top of the picture were the words: “This is what happens when my baby hits me back.” The message was followed by a winking emoticon. Within hours, the photo became an Internet sensation. Curry was charged a week later.
