The beaten female student is NMN, 18 years old, a 12A1 student at Binh Long Town High School.

According to initial verification, N. and four other female students studied in the same class and played together. Afterwards, N. and another female friend separated from the group and had a conflict with the remaining group of female friends.

At about 7:15 pm on April 8, after finishing English class, two groups got into an argument and fought, causing N. to be injured.

The next day, Ms. Luong Thi Thanh Hien (N.'s mother) went to An Loc Ward Police Station (Binh Long Town) to report the incident.

In it, Ms. Hien asked the female students who beat her child to apologize, promise not to repeat the offense, and compensate for the medical treatment of their injuries.

Afterwards, An Loc Ward Police coordinated with the principal of Binh Long Town High School to invite the two female students involved in the beating of N. to the interrogation. The school and the families of the two female students visited N.'s family.

Speaking to Tuoi Tre Online , Ms. Luong Thi Thanh Hien said that her daughter has been discharged from the hospital and is now at home for treatment. However, N. is still depressed, anxious, and has trouble walking. In particular, the upcoming 12th grade graduation exam makes her extremely worried.

According to Mrs. Hien, when she learned that her daughter was beaten by a friend, she took her daughter to Binh Long Town Medical Center for treatment. At first, she thought her daughter had only minor injuries, so she and her daughter left.

However, when N. returned home, she continued to vomit, so her mother asked to transfer her daughter to People's Hospital 115 (HCMC) for treatment. There, N. was diagnosed with superficial head injuries and intracranial injuries.

On April 12, N. was discharged from the hospital, but seeing that her mental state was not stable, her family continued to take her to the Ho Chi Minh City Mental Hospital for treatment. The doctor diagnosed N. as being in a severe depression stage without psychotic symptoms and prescribed medication.

Ms. Hien said that for now, she is focusing on taking care of her daughter’s health. Once her daughter’s health is stable, she will work with the police.

"I hope the authorities will soon verify and handle the case properly, not only for my daughter but also to prevent school violence from happening again," said Ms. Hien.
