The 21-year-old mother of a baby seen duct-taped in a photo posted on the Internet has been charged with in connection with the bizarre photo.
Caira Ferguson, of the 1200 block of Elson Road in the Toby Farms section of the township, has been charged with recklessly endangering and corruption of a minor, Nether Providence police said.

Ferguson told investigators in a statement that the incident was not a joke, as some theorized, but that she did not know why she bound the child's hands and legs, as well as placing a gag over her mouth.

The photograph of a young child clad only in a diaper and bound to a chair by long strips of duct tape wrapped tautly around her wrists and ankles, with a smaller piece taped across her mouth, is clearly disturbing, Police Chief Ken Coalson said Tuesday.

A woman in the photo appears to be posing behind the bound child, her hands clutching the child’s arms and her head resting on the child’s shoulder.
According to Coalson, she is the 21-year-old mother of the child, a 2-year-old girl. They reside in the Toby Farms section of the township.
Police believe the duct-taping incident occurred during the summer. As such, any visible injury the child might have suffered when the tape was removed would have healed.
“We have had contact with the child,” Coalson said.
Coalson said investigators became aware of the photograph when the mother arrived at the station to report an identity theft.
“It’s disturbing to look at,” he said.
He indicated that the woman told the officers she was not responsible for posting the photograph on a blog known as MediaTakeOut.com.
“She told us that it is her in the photograph, but that she did not post it,” Coalson said. “She said someone else stole her identity and posted it.”

She saw her photo on that website and thought it was a good idea to report that someone else posted it? :stupido3: Nothing wrong with duct tapping the kid like a hostage but DAMN! don't anyone dare post it pretending to be her. Bet she wishes she didn't go report it now...
I wonder what they mean when she says it "wasn't a joke"??
