Mom who glued her toddler's hands to wall faces life term
Dallas: A Texas woman who admitted to beating her 2-year-old daughter and gluing her hands to a wall is to be sentenced.

Elizabeth Escalona pleaded guilty on July 12 to injury to a child. The young mother is scheduled to be sentenced on Monday and faces up to life in prison.

Her daughter was in a coma for two days after the September 7, 2011, incident. The girl and her siblings have since been taken into state custody. Police records show 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. She was in a hospital for a week.

Dallas police say Escalona was mad about potty training problems.
