Mother who beat her 2 year old daughter into coma and glued her hands to the wall is jailed for 99 years

Elizabeth Escalona, the woman who glued her own two-year-old daughter's hands to a wall and beat the toddler so badly that she fell into a coma has been sentenced 99 years in prison in Dallas today. The 23-year-old mother showed no emotion when the verdict was announced. Escalona's other children told authorities that their mother attacked Jocelyn Cedillo in September 2011 due to potty training problems. Police say she kicked her daughter in the stomach, beat her with a milk jug, then stuck her hands to an apartment wall with an adhesive commonly known as Super Glue.

Jocelyn suffered bleeding in her brain, a fractured rib, multiple bruises and bite marks, and was in a coma for a couple of days, a doctor testified at the sentencing hearing.  Some skin had been torn off her hands, where doctors also found glue residue and white paint chips from the apartment wall.
