Police said a
61-year-old Reading, Pa., woman beat her 16-year-old
granddaughter severely after finding her in bed with another
girl.
Joyce Beddell is
charged with aggravated and simple assault, recklessly
endangering another person, and endangering the welfare of a
child.
Police said
Beddell's granddaughter suffered serious bruises to her legs
and buttocks during last Thursday's assault with a cane and
a belt. The other girl fled from the house before the
beating began.
Beddell told
police she had done nothing wrong. She told police she
should be allowed to discipline her granddaughter as she
wishes.
Beddell was
jailed in lieu of $10,000 bail. It was unclear if she had a
lawyer. (AP)
