Elizabeth Escalona, a mother of four kids is currently waiting for her sentence for reportedly gluing her two year old daughter's hands to the wall and beating her. Elizabeth's mother, Oefelia Escalona, testified against Elizabeth saying she found Jocelyn (the two year old daughter) laying a bed with bruises all over her body including her forehand, and her hands injured from the adhesive. Why did the mother do such horrible things? She claims she was trying to potty train her daughter. It is unsure about how long the two year old was glued to the wall but shortly after she was brought to the hospital, she showed signs of severe brain injury and was in a brief coma. Jocelyn's pediatrician also testified again Elizabeth during the trial, she was shown pictures of the injuries and stated "The entire picture was very shocking." She also said, "I see a lot of children, and this was one of the most shocking cases that I have seen." Now that Elizabeth is facing serious consequences, all of her children are in custody of her mother, Oefelia.

I can't believe that this mother would do something so extreme. I mean why would a mother want to injure her child?
ReplyDeleteObviously this woman was crazy and upset about something. She jsut decided to take it out on her child, which was a bad decision. Maybe she will take her kids away from spring break, because its right aroung the corner :D
