A Texas toddler has been released from hospital a week after her mother allegedly glued her hands to a wall.

The two-year-old was in a coma for two days after the September 7 incident.

Dallas police said her 22-year-old mother was angry about the youngster's potty training problems. The child was also kicked repeatedly in the stomach.

Elizabeth Escalona remains jailed on a charge of felony injury to a child.

At a court hearing yesterday, a Dallas County judge ordered that the toddler and her three siblings would stay in foster care.

Some of Escalona's friends told WFAA-TV that she snapped under the pressure.

KDFW-TV reported that in 2007 Escalona was ordered to take parenting classes and undergo counselling, but Child Protective Services did not remove her children.
