Regarding the incident, the Department of Education and Training of Ha Tinh city said that the Department has directed staff to work with the ward to support the family in arranging the child's funeral.

"At 7am, the teachers were opening the door to welcome the child. There were only 3 children in the classroom. At the time of the incident, a teacher opened the door to welcome another child, so she was careless and forgot to close the door, so HBL ran out into the street and the heartbreaking incident happened," said the leader of the Department of Education and Training of Ha Tinh City.

According to the reporter's investigation, the private kindergarten group Tuoi Tho was licensed to operate by the People's Committee of Thach Linh ward (now merged into Tran Phu ward) in October 2023.

"This nursery group is licensed by the Ward People's Committee. The department is responsible for advising on the conditions of facilities and teachers for the ward to grant operating licenses. Last year, we reviewed many private nursery groups and closed a series of facilities that did not meet the conditions, but this nursery group still meets the conditions and is allowed to operate," added the leader of the Department of Education and Training of Ha Tinh City.

Previously, at around 7am on March 10, baby HBL was taken by her parents to a private nursery group called Tuoi Tho Kindergarten in Tran Phu Ward. While the teacher was not paying attention, the baby ran out into the street.
