Texas mother who glued child's hands to wall faces possible life term

By NBC News staff and NBCDFW.com

The Dallas mother who confessed to gluing her toddler to the wall then beating her as potty training punishment was in court Tuesday for a second day of testimony in her sentencing hearing.

Prosecutors were seeking 45 years in prison for 23-year-old Elizabeth Escalona but she could spend the rest of her life in prison on the felony injury to a child conviction, the Dallas Morning News reported.

The grandmother of the girl, Ofelia Escalona, was expected to testify Tuesday against her daughter.

Doctors say the torture that the 2-year-old endured at the hands of her mom put her in a coma for several days. The doctor who saved the toddler's life testified on Monday why her mom should spend the rest of her life behind bars.

"The entire picture was very shocking. I see a lot of children. This was one of the worst, shocking cases that I've seen," said Dr. Amy Barton, a former pediatrician at Children’s Medical Center.

The idea of using punishment to housebreak a child shows that she should not be raising a child. Rewards work far better. A bag of Dum-Dums and getting rid of diapers (stupid diapers these days make peeing in your pants too easy, putting a kid in underwear means that when they pee, it's uncomfortable) is cheap and effective and you should only have to buy one bag (if it takes more than that, YOU'RE doing it wrong).
