Diana Vicky Estrada, a 26-year-old mother, was charged with child abuse and torture. She dunked her 2-year-old daughter, now 5, in a bathtub filled with extremely hot water as punishment for a potty-training accident. Burns were shown on her legs from the bottom of the girl's feet up to below the knees. The injuries were so severe that her toes were literally glued together. At court, Estrada pleaded not guilty and shows no concern for her daughter's injuries. She claims that her daughter simply loves taking baths and that she got into the bathtub on her own. Her daughter had been returned to her custody by the time she was sentenced to probation and jail time.
