The case of a male student with 3 broken ribs: suspected of texting another person's girlfriend to 'break up'?
An 8th grade male student at Bac Kan Secondary School (Bac Kan Province) was beaten up by a group of people right at school. The incident was filmed and shared on social media, causing a stir in public opinion.
On May 15, Bac Kan Provincial Police announced that they had clarified the case of an 8th grade male student being beaten by a group of students, resulting in broken ribs. Previously, the 4 students who beat their friend and recorded the video were identified as: TAÄ. (born 2010); BTND (born 2010), a student of class 9A5; GPV (born 2010); TBK (born 2011), a student of class 8A4. All 4 students are from Bac Kan Secondary School.
In which, GPV was responsible for using TAÄ's phone to record video of the remaining 3 students beating NHH (born 2011), a student of class 8A2 at the same school.
The reason was that TAÄ. posted information about selling kites, NHH contacted to ask to buy, but then did not buy. At the meeting with the school and the police, TAÄ. gave another reason that NHH texted TAÄ.'s girlfriend (a junior high school student in the city), so TAÄ. and his girlfriend had a conflict. Although NHH took a screenshot of the text message and sent it to TAÄ. to prove it, Ä. still did not believe it.
At 8:00 a.m. on May 5, during recess, TAD asked a classmate to text NHH to come to the school's practice area, where H. was beaten by TAD and BTND. When TBK intervened, the incident stopped.
Then, at around 10am the same day, TBK came to NHH, grabbed her by the neck and took her to the school restroom, where he met 3 students: Ä, D, V. waiting. At that time, K. forced H. to admit that she had raped Ä.'s lover, then D, Ä, V rushed in and used their feet and hands to beat and kick H. so hard that H. had no time to fight back. Only when they heard the shout "teacher is here" did the group stop. After the incident, H. was very scared and did not dare to share it with anyone. The CT scan results on May 11 showed that H. had a fracture of the anterior arch of the 5th, 6th, and 7th ribs on the left side and there was air in the left shoulder joint.
According to the police, this is not the first time school violence has occurred in Bac Kan. These incidents have been warned by the media, but they still continue. The incident was shared by the "culprit" himself with his friends via social networks, causing a negative impact on the psychology of students when going to school, negatively affecting the educational environment. Therefore, families and schools need to coordinate more closely in managing the education of their children, to prevent similar incidents from happening.
At the same time, acts of sharing images and videos of violence on cyberspace violate the Law on Cyber Security and may be subject to handling according to regulations.
Criminologist Dr. Dao Trung Hieu said that the victims of gang beatings can be anyone, and similar situations have been recorded many times in the school environment. According to Dr. Hieu, those who violate the law will be held responsible according to regulations, and in terms of proactively preventing violence, students need to be equipped with knowledge and skills to protect themselves.
From a professional perspective, Dr. Hieu commented that the common state of victims of gang beatings is usually immediate panic when violence occurs. Then, because of this panic, the victim seems to be "tied up" and has no choice but to stand still and endure the "storm of vicious blows" from the attacker. Knowing in advance what to do in such dire circumstances is something that everyone needs to prepare for.
Dr. Dao Trung Hieu advises, do not listen and do what the bully asks, such as meeting in a secluded place... In a situation where you are weaker, it is best for you to try to avoid meeting the bully, at school or on the street, but do not let them see that. If the bully knows you are scared, they will be more aggressive. If the bully is on the same path as you, take another path. In a situation where you are forced to face the bully and there is no outside help, show that you are not easy to bully, ready to confront and the subject will pay a suitable price if he bullies you.
