Elizabeth Escalona faced from probation to life in prison. Prosecutors sought 45 years behind bars. A state district judge decided her sentence Friday.
Police say Escalona attacked 2-year-old Jocelyn Cedillo because of potty training problems.
The 23-year-old pleaded guilty in July to felony injury to a child. Police records show Escalona's other children told authorities she kicked Jocelyn in the stomach and hit her with a jug in September 2011.
They said Escalona glued Jocelyn's hands to the wall with a type of strong adhesive known as Super Glue. Jocelyn suffered bleeding in her brain, multiple bruises and was in a coma for a couple of days.
