"Wut" Happens Next When An Older Child "Hits Him Back?"

Andre Curry has been acquitted of unlawful restraint for binding his 22 month old daughter's hand, feet and mouth with tape, and then posting a picture of her bound thusly on Facebook. The caption below read "This is wut happens wen my baby hits me back." Perhaps, as Curry's attorney successfully argued (on the unlawful restraint charges- battery verdict is still pending), what the father did was simply stupid and not cruel or- more to the point- criminal. Regardless, I remain quite concerned for the little girl in the situation who has no voice. I hope the Cook County State's Attorney's Office, CPD, and the involved child protection agencies stay vigilant for her sake.
