Reading, PA - A 61-year-old city woman was arrested by Reading police for beating her granddaughter with a cane and belt after finding the girl in bed with another female teenager from the neighborhood, investigators said Saturday.

Joyce Y. Beddell of the 600 block of North Front Street was committed to Berks County Prison in lieu of $10,000 bail after arraignment before Senior District Judge Richard Gatti. Reading police charged Beddell with aggravated and simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and endangering the welfare of a child.

Beddell's 16-year-old granddaughter suffered serious bruises to her legs and buttocks during the assault, which occurred Thursday about 5 p.m. in the residence they shared, police said.

Beddell beat the teenager with her cane until it broke, police said.

The girl's name was not released by police, who said she was in severe pain and was treated in Reading Hospital for unspecified injuries.

Investigators gave this account:

The granddaughter had just finished having sex with another 16-year-old girl and was in an upstairs bedroom. Beddell walked in and found them together.

The neighborhood girl ran out of the house to her nearby home while Beddell was beating her granddaughter with the cane.

Neighbors said they saw Beddell leave the house a short time later. She was accompanied by her limping granddaughter. The two of them went to the other girl's house to tell her mother what they had been doing.

Beddell returned to her home with her granddaughter and continued to beat her with a belt. Police were called to the house to investigate a report of child abuse.

The girl had noticeable injuries to her legs, and police took her to the hospital.

Beddell told police that she had done nothing wrong and said she should have been allowed to discipline her granddaughter as she saw fit.

damn...with a cane & belt...

 

[GentlemanPlayer]

I can understand the first spanking/beating, though I don't approve the use of the cane. She overdid it by beating the granddaughter with the belt the second time. That was excessive.

 

[Mo-Better]

I can understand the grandmother being upset but to beat a child with a cane is going too far but to beat her until it broke. That's not discipline, that's an assault and grandma should pay for her abuse.

Grandma is most likely facing possible jail time and her statement, "she had done nothing wrong and said she should have been allowed to discipline her granddaughter as she saw fit" doesn't help her case. It shows no remorse for what she did. They may try and throw the book at her.

WOW...She definitely needs discipline for the fact that she was having sex as a teenager...but not like that at all. I personally think there's a point where hitting is no longer appropriate, and that's at about 11-12. At that point your kid understands a lot and it's more effective to take stuff away, like money, cell phone, going out with friend, etc.

I at 11-12, but I can't remember my parents hitting me at anytime in middle school or at the end of elementary school.

I do, however, remember getting grounded, not able to go to the movies...

Man,do you really believe what you just typed. It is not always true that when parents beat their kids they become violent. There are plenty of people who didn't and their kids are serial killers,etc....

In texas you can do what u want to discipline your kids. She may have went overboard with the whoopin but aint nothin wrong with beating ur kids. The problem comes when u dont beat them when they young and try to later on.​

I agree...but those kids learn it from somewhere and that's their own house. There are tons of outside influences, but there's no bigger influence than your immediate family, be it positive or negative. People gotta teach their kids something...

I think a lot of this comes from teenage and young mothers. If your mom is only 15 years old than you, and your grandma is 32yo, everyone is growing up together.

I have a 1st cousin (39) and 2nd cousin (22), whose pregnancies overlapped each other. The aunt is younger than the niece.

We gotta stop this shit...
