JOESLYN CEDILLO - 2 yo - Dallas TX

DALLAS — A 22-year-old mother was facing child abuse charges
Friday after police say she glued her toddler daughter’s hands to a
wall, kicked her in the stomach and beat her over a potty training
issue.

Joselyn Cedillo, 2, was on life support with multiple internal
injuries at a Dallas hospital Thursday, The Dallas Morning News reported
(http://dallasne.ws/pKJtEb ). A hospital spokeswoman told The
Associated Press she had no information on the girl Friday.
The newspaper, citing police records, said glue and paint were stuck to Joselyn’s palms, and that skin had torn away in places.
Joselyn’s
mother, Elizabeth Escalona, was crying and hysterical when she called
her own mother Wednesday morning from her Dallas apartment, according to
police records. The records show that when the grandmother arrived at
the apartment, her granddaughter was unconscious on the floor. She took
her to the hospital.
One of the girl’s brothers said their mother
kicked the child in the stomach and beat her with a belt and shoe,
according to police records.
Another sibling said she couldn’t
sleep during the night because she heard her mother yelling and the girl
crying. She said Joselyn had been having difficulty with potty
training. She said Escalona dragged Joselyn by her feet from the kitchen
to another part of the apartment, put glue on her hands and stuck them
to the wall.
“This is beyond abuse,” said Dallas police Sgt. Brenda Nichols. “This is torture.”
A
pediatrician said the girl had “severe life-threatening head and
internal injuries” and was in a coma, according to police records.
Escalona
is being held on $500,000 bond on a felony injury to a child charge
that carries a sentence of up to life in prison. Her attorney didn’t
immediately return a phone call from the AP seeking comment.
Child
Protective Services has taken custody of the girl and her three
siblings, said agency spokeswoman Julie Moody. She said she could not
discuss the family’s history with CPS.

DALLAS - A 2-year-old girl is on the mend one week after she was allegedly tortured by her mother.
Veteran detectives called it one of the worst cases of child abuse they had seen . Many didn't think the girl would survive the attack. But she did. In fact, she could be released from the hospital soon.
The girl's mother, Elizabeth Escalona , is in jail charged with injury to a child.


The 22-year old has three other kids, ages 1 through 7.
According
to court documents, Escalona beat the girl, even glued her hands to the
wall, as the other children watched. The girl was having a hard time
potty training.
The affidavit also says Escalona was feeling
overwhelmed taking care of all four children all day. Her husband was
not home when the alleged attack happened last Tuesday.
The girl's grandmother took her to Children's Medical Center with injuries all over her body.
All
of the kids are in the custody of Child Protective Services and when
the girl is released from the hospital, she will also go to a foster
family.

Sick, sick, sick! I hope that disgusting mother stays in jail and is not allowed contact with those children ever again. Sounds like the grandmother is caring but I always worry when a close relative (like the mother) of a child abuser has custody of the kids, that she will eventually let the abuser eventually see the kids who would probably harm them again. I hope this witch is locked away for a long time.

I would request a minimum of 19 in the hoosegow.
That means the youngest would be 20 and she'd be in her mid-40's.
Parole? Shmarole! This is an intentional tortuous act. No excuses!

Abused child to be relased from hospital into state custody

Updated Wednesday, Sep 14 at 4:27 PM

DALLAS -- During a court hearing on Wednesday, a judge ruled to keep two-year-old Joselyn Cedillo and her siblings in the custody of Child Protective Services.
The Dallas girl, who police said was tortured by her mother, will be released from the hospital on Wednesday too. Police said they were amazed that the little girl survived considering what they said was done to her by her mother.
Dallas police arrested Joselyn’s mother, 22- year-old Elizabeth Escalona last week. Police said Escalona glued her daughter’s hands to the wall until they bleed and then beat the toddler until she stopped breathing. She faces felony charges.
Cedilla was on a respirator for several days, but has since recovered.
In court Wednesday, the judge not only made the announcement that the little girl is recovering, but her father could not take custody of her just yet. A home study must be done first to determine what is best for them. The father of her other siblings was given the same court order in order to gain custody of the children.

Oh and I wish sterilization of abusers was a requirement of the law. They should never be allowed to have children again if they torture, abuse and/or kill their children.

oh but babyj, the perps have rights=unlike the poor children they torture and maim.
