Three Goshen Road residents have been arrested and charged with beating five girls between the ages of 9 and 16 using back scratchers, paddles, belts and fly swatters. According to the Cape May County Herald, the Division of Child Protection and Permanency heard concerns for two of the girls, ages 9 and 16, after the oldest girl said she had suffered physical abuse at the hands of her grandmother, Irene J. Becica, 71. Police say Becica and Christina L. VonColln, 45, allegedly burned the 9-year-old’s right wrist with a lighter. It goes on to charge that Becica, VonColln, and Thomas J. Becica, 57, would beat all five girls at various times with the implements mentioned, leaving cuts and bruises on their bodies.
