Texas Mom Who Glued Daughter’s Hands To Wall Gets 99 Years In Prison

The Texas mom who beat her 2-year-old daughter and glued her hands to a wall was sentenced to 99 years in prison.

Judge Larry Mitchell gave the life sentence to a tearful Elizabeth Escalona, 23, because “you savagely beat your child to the edge of death.”

The sentence came down after five days of painful testimony in the case, as prosecutors showed pictures of the beaten toddler to Escalona and asked her if she was a “monster.”

“A monster did this,” prosecutor Eren Price told Escalona.

Escalona, who had pleaded guilty in July, nodded and replied, “Yes.”

The attack on the child came after Escalona became frustrated with potty training. Testimony from the girl’s siblings revealed that Escalona kicked the girl in the stomach and hit her with a milk jug before gluing her hands to the wall. The girl was hospitalized in a coma from the beating and some skin had been torn off her hands, doctors testified.
