Accordingly, on April 16, the Departmentof Education and Training of Ba Tri district discovered a clip circulating on social networks, showing a staff member of a group facility or preschool class not being calm, acting impatiently and not in control when feeding children.

After receiving the information, the Ben Tre Department of Education and Training directed the Ba Tri District Department of Education and Training to coordinate with the People's Committee of Tiem Tom town (Ba Tri district) to inspect and handle the incident.

On April 17, the People's Committee of Tiem Tom town issued a Decision to establish an inspection team to inspect the conditions for implementing the Professional Regulations at Thu Suong kindergarten group and class (An Binh quarter, Tiem Tom town).

Upon inspection, the owner of the facility admitted that the image in the clip was of a cooking staff at Thu Suong kindergarten group. The above incident occurred around the beginning of April 2025. On April 16, 2025, the clip was posted on social network.
