While being interviewed, the girl told investigators that her three female relatives placed a dog collar around her neck and shocked her multiple times as a form of punishment.
Karen Villec of Stratford Township, New Jersey, told NBC10 she was inside her home back on March 1 when her 13-year-old neighbor arrived at her doorstep screaming and crying with an electric dog collar around her neck.
Villec said the dog collar was still buzzing in her hand. She called police and the girl was taken to the hospital for an evaluation. Police observed the girl had markings around her neck that were consistent with wearing the collar.
