DALLAS -- Elizabeth Escalona, the 23-year-old mother of five who admitted to gluing her daughter’s hands to the wall and beating her as potty training punishment, was sentenced Friday to 99 years.

She cried and didn't speak for several seconds after prosecutor Eren Price displayed a photo of then-2-year-old Jocelyn during Escalona's sentencing hearing. Dozens of red and brown marks from the September 2011 beating covered Jocelyn's back.

She did a hell of a lot more than that:

Police say Escalona 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. Escalona's other children told authorities their mother attacked Jocelyn due to potty training problems.

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

I was just about to post the same thing.

So vile. I will never understand how a person can do something so awful to a defenseless person.

At first I was like: "99 years???? goodness that is a lot"

Then I kept reading and didn't think it was enough

[newarenanow]

Good. I actually read this story a few days ago. Absolutely sick. I can't believe ANYONE would ever do anything to a harmless, defensless child. it makes me sick. People who do this stuff to children need to be serverly punished.

I'm Mr. Sensitive-to-Heavy-Sentences, and I am very pleased they sentenced her so heavily.

very similar reaction from kenny the kangaroo.

The sentence would be adequate if she spent the first 17 years in genpop of a men's prison.

I love that getting pregnant at 14 was a mistake, and nine years later she has five children.

Disgusting human being should be thrown into a shark tank with her legs and arms tied.

I have no dog in the race anymore. I've divorced myself from my own species.

Wow. Truly prolific but more horrific.

Men's prisons aren't the only places that don't take lightly the abusing of children.

I have no sympathy for her. She deserves what she got. That poor baby went through hell because of that hag.
