A Beacon girl is back home and safe after an apparent incident that took place either Friday night or early Saturday. Beacon police would not discuss any details of the incident on Saturday afternoon other than to say that the girl, whose name the police did not divulge, was safe. There was significant speculation on local Facebook pages, but the nature of the incident has not been confirmed.
