Verifying the case of students being beaten by a group

The clip shows several students in uniforms attacking a fellow student, while another student uses his phone to record the footage. The images were later posted on many social media sites, causing outrage among the families of the beaten students; many parents whose children study at the school were also confused when they saw the clip.

Through verification, the incident occurred in Tan Lap commune, Ham Thuan Nam district on November 7. The person who was beaten by the group was a 7th grade female student at Thuan Nam Secondary School, Thuan Nam town, Ham Thuan Nam district ( Binh Thuan ). According to Ms. NTTH, the female student's mother, the student is currently being treated at Ham Thuan Nam Medical Center. Her health condition is stable, but she shows signs of panic and crying.

According to Ms. NTTH, after the incident happened, she reported it to the school, but the school said that the incident happened outside the school and not during the students' class hours, so the school was not aware of the incident.

Notably, according to the female student's mother, some parents, including the grandmother of a student (identified as having participated in beating the victim), came to the hospital room to challenge her and film the incident, causing the victim to panic even more.
