Grandma Jailed Over Beating Teen In Lesbian Clinch

(Reading, Pennsylvania) A 61-year old Reading woman is in jail awaiting trial for allegedly beating her granddaughter with a cane and a belt after finding the teen in bed with another girl.

Joyce Y. Beddell is charged with aggravated and simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and endangering the welfare of a child.

She is being held in jail in lieu of $10,000 bail.

Police said that Beddell discovered her granddaughter in bed having sex with a neighborhood teen girl.

The neighboring teen ran when Beddell entered the room, according to police, and escaped the elder woman's wrath.

The granddaughter was not so lucky. Beddell allegedly took a cane and then a belt to the 16 year old. She then forcibly took the girl from the house.

Neighbors saw Beddell taking the limping granddaughter to the other girl's home where she informed that girl's parent of the affair.

Police say Beddell then took the 16-year home where she proceeded to beat her again.

The 16-year old suffered serious bruises to her buttocks and legs.

Police were called to the house to investigate a report of child abuse. It is not clear who filed the abuse report.

The teen is being treated in hospital for unspecified injuries the Reading Eagle reported.

Beddell told police that she had done nothing wrong, the paper reported, and said she should be allowed to discipline her granddaughter as she sees fit.

Gay Couples Warned About Being Too Flamboyant

This really hit my ticker -- evoking emotions of "I'm pissed."

It reminded me of don't speak too ethnic -- or rather Black -- and for Pete sakes watch how you dress - meaning don't come to work with your natural hair or even braids. Remember what you say and watch how you say it. Your diction your dialect -- because we have to assimilate to the alleged standards of the mainstream. Oh Poppycock!

Yet, here we go again....

"The gay and lesbian couples who packed a Hollywood auditorium last week had come seeking information about California's new marriage policies.

But they also got some unsolicited advice. Images from gay weddings, said Lorri L.Jean, chief executive of the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center, could be used by opponents in a campaign designed to convince California voters that gays and lesbians should not have the right to marry.

"It's a weird subject," added Hamilton, 39, who plans to wed his partner of five years, Ray Paolantonio. "We want everybody to be free, but the image does matter. . . . They are going to try to make us look like freaks."

"The more that homosexual activists wave their hijacked marriage licenses in people's faces, the more people will say, 'This isn't right. . . . What can I do about this?' " said Randy Thomasson, the founder of the Campaign for Children and Families."
