Police were called by a neighbour who said she often overheard T.G. yelling and threatening the girl, but he was more intense and aggressive than usual at the time. The woman told police T.G. was heard yelling: “Whose house is this? Who’s the boss? It’s my house! I’m the boss! Are you scared? You should be!” The officers who responded found the girl crying and circular bite marks on both cheeks and bruising under her eyes, across her nose and on her head were noted. The child’s mother then showed an officer other areas of her daughter’s body, including her feet and buttocks, that were marked with bruises, all of which were similar to the circle-shaped bite marks observed on her cheeks. “These bruises were on virtually every area of body.”
A Dallas mother superglued her toddler's hands to the wall, bit her and hit her so hard she suffered bleeding in her brain and slipped into a temporary coma. Dallas County court heard the horrifying testimony Tuesday at the sentencing hearing of Elizabeth Escalona, 23, who pleaded guilty in July to torturing her two-year-old daughter, Jocelyn. "The entire picture was very shocking," testified former child abuse pediatrician Dr. Amy Barton, according to CNN. "I see a lot of children, and this was one of the most shocking cases that I have seen." Doctors found superglue and paint chips from her apartment wall on the girl's hands. The mom had glued the tot's hands to the wall and beat her while she couldn't move. She was rushed to hospital soon after. "I saw Jocelyn laying in the bed. She was facing the wall and ...," Barton said before bursting into tears.

Vile behavior towards the offenders does not negate what happens to these kids.

I agree. I'm not defending anyone who abuses children, but I agree with you that the hypocrisy is blatant and to me, intolerable.
Yes, I do have children. Stories about abused children have a very negative effect on my mentality. Still, I do not advocate death or torture against any person, regardless of their crimes.
It's also sad how nowadays anyone who disagrees with someone's vehement rage is a "troll."

Abusers are usually victims of abuse themselves. These people are are essentially containers of enormous repressed rage.
In their adult years they take it out on their own children and that is how the cycle continues.
Yes, punish the abuser, but understand WHY he abused in the first place. He was once that child himself.
