Two New Jersey men have been arrested after a video emerged showing one of them urinating on a memorial for a 9-year-old boy who died of cancer — and now, the boy’s father said he hopes the pair get help and “turns their lives around.”

Mark Clopp, whose son Christian died from brain cancer in 2012, is taking the high road after a family friend delivered the revolting footage to him Sunday.

Clopp, a retired Hamilton Township police officer, said the “two geniuses” recorded themselves on Snapchat laughing as one of them urinated on his son’s memorial at Underhill Park in Mays Landing.

“He said, ‘We don’t know how to tell you this,’ and then he just showed us the video,” Clopp told The Post on Monday of the footage that later led to the arrests of Bryan Bellace, 23, of Egg Harbor City, and Daniel Flippen, also 23, of Hammonton.

Clopp contacted police and posted the video to his Facebook profile in an attempt to identify the scoundrels. The video was later removed from the social media platform for violating community standards, Clopp said, but police arrested both suspects later Sunday.

Flippen, who allegedly recorded the video while laughing, was charged with having an open alcoholic beverage in a park, while Bellace was charged with lewdness, disorderly conduct and criminal mischief, police said.

“There’s obviously something very wrong in their lives that they have no regard to feelings or for the property of others,” Clopp continued. “Ultimately, I would love to see them get help for that and to turn their lives around.”

As a former cop, Clopp said, he had particular disdain for vandals but took exceptional offense at how Flippen and Bellace behaved during the incident.

“They’re laughing and joking about it, saying as they did it that it was a memorial,” Clopp said. “I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt — it looks like they were under the influence of alcohol. Perhaps that’s the reason why they did it, I don’t know.”

Clopp said a group of relatives, friends of the family and strangers went to the park to wash off his son’s memorial Sunday, some seven years after he died in February 2012 following a battle with an inoperable brain tumor.

“A child who made the world a better place through his courage, faith, smile, laughter and love of others,” the plaque reads. “May your memory and inspiration live on forever.”

Clopp said he hopes the entire ordeal becomes a teaching moment for younger children.

“We live in a world today where emotion is kind of gone from everything,” Clopp told The Post. “We need to have empathy for others and to respect the property of others. It’s also really important to just think before you act.”

But Clopp insisted that he held no ill will toward the men, saying they have done enough to damage their own reputations.

“I’m not looking to ruin the lives of these two guys,” he said. “I’d rather them come out of it as better people. But the fact that they did this at a children’s playground, that’s very disturbing. That should be a safe place and things like this just shouldn’t happen.”
