Last week, Elizabeth Escalona was arrested for gluing her 5-year-old daughter’s
hands to the wall as punishment for being stress in her life. She pleaded
guilty Thursday acknowledging that she glued her to the wall while beating
her, and said that her kids bring a lot of added stress in her life. Reports
say that her charges for
child injury could land this 23-year-old mother in jail for the next 45 years of her
life if the prosecutors have their way.
When being questioned in court, the prosecution asked if her children misbehaved
often and the mother said yes, and claimed that she often needed “breaks”
from them. With this came a confession to frequent usage of marijuana
and alcohol within her home, at least twice a day she would take a hit.
When the Escalona children were asked about what happened, they said that
their mommy was trying to potty train their sister and she was having
problems, so she glued her hands to the wall.
Super Glue wasn’t only form of torture that Jocelyn Cedillo experienced
that day, the police also state that she kicked her daughter in the stomach,
hit her with a milk jug and then stuck her hands to the wall. This girl
didn't make it out of the abuse fine and dandy either, according to
doctors she suffered severe head trauma and has brain bleeding along with
a fractured rib, and many other bruises as well as bite marks from her
mother. They say that Jocelyn was in a coma for a few days as well. Elizabeth
Escalona is a mother of five, and during this time all of the kids are
in the care of her mother, Ofelia Escalona. If you have been accused of
