A Texas mom admitted to gluing her daughter’s hands to the wall because she couldn't' use the potty.
Elizabeth Escalona, who daughter was in a coma for two days following the incident, pleaded guilty to injuring her 2-year-old daughter on Sept 7.
The Dallas Morning News said Escalona yelled to reporters: “Only God can judge me. That’s all I gotta say.”
The girl and her siblings were taken into custody.
Police records show that the toddler's siblings told investigators their mother kicked the girl in the stomach repeatedly and hit her with various objects before gluing her hands to the wall.
The young girl had broken bones, brain swelling, swollen intestines and extensive bruising after the incident, according to the Morning News. The newspaper said the same day of the incident she posted “Why does God put obstacles in my life?” on her Facebook page.
Dallas police say Escalona was mad about potty training problems.
Escalona faces up to life in prison. Sentencing is set for Sept. 10.
