Notably, to clarify the false information that caused confusion for parents of the school as well as the surrounding area, Hoang Mai District Police worked with the District Education Department and the school. Accordingly, the Department's leaders confirmed that there had not been any reports or feedback from the schools about this phenomenon. In addition, Ms. Tran Bich Lien, Principal of Tan Dinh Primary School, confirmed: The school did not send out any information or announcements related to the phenomenon of child kidnapping as some images spread online.

Previously, on March 24, false information spread on social networks with the content: "Currently, there has been a phenomenon of child kidnapping in the area. The subjects are targeting students, especially students walking to school. Parents are requested to immediately strengthen measures to educate their children on prevention skills, heighten vigilance and coordinate closely with homeroom teachers to manage their children. If any students live in the same building, parents should let their children walk home in groups, and return home immediately after leaving the school gate. Sincerely."

Regarding the above issue, Hoang Mai District Police requested residents and parents not to spread unfounded rumors. The authorities will verify, clarify and strictly handle subjects who intentionally post and spread information affecting security and order according to the provisions of the law./.
