Kathryn Smith, 23, was jailed for life on Monday following her conviction for murder after the savage attack on 21-month-old Ayeeshia Jane Smith at the family home in Staffordshire on May 1 2014.
Mrs Justice Geraldine Andrews, sentencing a weeping Smith at Birmingham Crown Court, said: “You are a devious, manipulative, selfish, young woman who would stop at nothing to get your own way.
“To that end you were prepared to tell lie after lie.”
“Ayeeshia was a particularly vulnerable victim, thin and slight of frame, deserving of protection and under the protection of social services for the whole of her short life.”
