Hanoi A 6th grade female student at Kien Hung Secondary School, Ha Dong District, was hit in the face by an 8th grader from the same school, causing her to bleed.
On the evening of January 26, Ms. Van, the mother of the student who was beaten, said the incident happened that afternoon. According to Ms. Van, her son had a conflict with a classmate, so after school, the student called his older sister, who is in 8th grade at the same school, to come to the classroom and beat him.
When picking up their child from school, Ms. Van's husband saw blood on their child's face, so they immediately took the child to Kien Hung ward police station to report it. She said that the scratches and bleeding on her child's face were caused by a friend using a box cutter.
The mother said this was not the first time her child had been beaten by a friend, but the previous times she had tried to reconcile because she thought the child was being too naughty. This time, the child was in pain and crying a lot, so she let her child stay home from school this morning.
Ms. Van's post on social media last night received thousands of interactions. Many people were outraged by the student's behavior.
In a video of the incident, which is over 40 seconds long, Ms. Van’s child is beaten and slapped by an 8th grade female student, mainly on the head and face. A moment later, another female student wearing a black shirt, along with her, continued to beat the victim. Many students stood around watching, shouting and swearing.

Responding to VnExpress on the morning of January 27, Ms. Nguyen Thi Bach Loan, principal of Kien Hung Secondary School, confirmed that the incident happened after yesterday afternoon's class at the school. However, she affirmed that the 8th grade student did not use a box cutter when hitting Ms. Van's child.
"During the fight, the 8th grade female student scratched the 6th grade student's face. The students involved and the victim reported this to the police," said Ms. Loan, suggesting that the parents may have made a mistake due to their anger at seeing their child being beaten.
This morning, authorities continue to investigate, the school will also visit the student's home.
