On the same day, speaking with Thanh Nien Newspaper, Ms. TTHA (27 years old, in Binh My commune - old Cu Chi district) said that she sent her son M. (4 years old) to ABM Kindergarten (Dong Thanh commune) since May 5 and it has been more than 2 months now.

During his days studying here, Ms. A's son showed unusual symptoms every time he came home, such as being scared when doing something.

"Before, when my baby took a bath, I closed the door normally, but now when I take a bath and close the door, my baby screams and runs outside. My baby shows signs like banging his head against the water tank and hiding in a corner when he does something," said Ms. A.

Seeing her child showing unusual signs, Ms. A recently transferred her child to another school. After a week of studying at the new school, she was shocked and devastated to learn that her child had been abused at the old school from the clips and images sent by a retired teacher who recounted the incident.

According to Ms. A., for the past 3 months, her child has had to endure acts of violence such as the teacher threatening her with scissors and needles, causing her to panic.

The clips provided by Ms. A. show that her 4-year-old son was pinned down on the brick floor by a teacher named H. In another clip, Ms. A.'s son was hugged tightly by teacher H., who threatened to cut his leg with scissors, causing him to cry out in panic. Ms. A. reported the incident to the police.

Regarding this incident, the leader of Dong Thanh Commune People's Committee said that after receiving the information, the Commune People's Committee established a working group to go to ABM kindergarten to inspect.

Upon inspection, the facility did not meet the operating conditions. The working group requested the facility’s owner, Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan Anh (45 years old), to remove the sign and write a commitment to stop childcare activities without a new license.

"Regarding the issue of whether or not violence occurred at this facility, Dong Thanh Commune Police are still coordinating with relevant units to continue verifying and clarifying," said the leader of Dong Thanh Commune People's Committee.
