On November 21, Mr. Dang Van Hung - Principal of Nong Cong 2 High School (Nong Cong district, Thanh Hoa province) said that after the incident of a group of students participating in a gang beating, the school held a disciplinary council meeting to propose disciplinary measures for this group of students.
"The school has suspended 3 students who directly participated in the beating for 2 weeks, from November 19 to December 2," Mr. Hung informed.
According to Mr. Hung, the school had previously suspended the group of students for a few days to facilitate the police investigation. Up to now, based on Circular 32, the school has held a disciplinary council meeting and decided on a form of handling according to its authority. The case is still under investigation by the police and the results have not been reported to the school.
Speaking with Lao Dong, Mr. Le Van Thanh (father of the beaten female student) said that since the beating, nearly 50 days have passed, the girl's health is still weak, her neck must be immobilized and she still cannot walk normally.
"Because I have been waiting for the results from the district police for too long, recently (November 18), I sent a petition to the Thanh Hoa Provincial Police requesting direction, investigation and early conclusion after the incident" - Mr. Le Van Thanh said.
Previously, as reported by Lao Dong Newspaper, according to verification by Nong Cong 2 High School (in Nong Cong District, Thanh Hoa Province), on October 4, a female student of class 10A6, while returning from school, saw a female student of class 10A5 walking behind her talking and laughing with another friend. The female student of class 10A6 thought that her friend was talking badly about her, leading to an argument. On the afternoon of October 5, when school was out, the two female students continued to argue and quarrel. Afterwards, the school security broke up the fight and all the students went home. However, when they reached Tan Phuc commune, a fight broke out.
As a result, an 11th grade female student (when she intervened to stop a group of friends from fighting) was beaten up and seriously injured (broken cervical vertebrae), and had to be transferred to Viet Duc Hospital for treatment.
After a period of treatment at Viet Duc Hospital, the female student was transferred to Hop Luc General Hospital (in Thanh Hoa) for further monitoring and treatment. After a period of treatment, the female student was taken home by her family for further monitoring and physical therapy. Currently, the female student's health has not yet recovered enough to return to school.
