Regarding the incident in which a female 11th grade student at Nong Cong 2 High School (in Nong Cong district, Thanh Hoa province) was beaten and suffered a broken cervical vertebra, the school has initially verified the cause of the incident.
According to the school representative, on October 4, a female student in class 10A6 was walking home from school when she saw a female student in class 10A5 walking behind her talking and laughing with another friend. The female student in class 10A6 thought that her friend was talking badly about her, which led to an argument.
On the afternoon of October 5, after school, the two female students continued to argue and fight. Afterwards, the school security broke up the fight and all the students left.
The security guard did not report the incident to the school, and when the students arrived at Tan Phuc commune, a fight broke out.
As a result, an 11th grade female student (when intervening to stop her friend from fighting) suffered a broken cervical vertebrae and was seriously injured. Two other female students also suffered minor injuries (and have been discharged from the hospital).
After the incident, the school's Board of Directors coordinated with Tan Phuc Commune Police to summon students involved in the incident to take statements.
The Board of Directors also summoned the homeroom teachers and parents (authorized by the families) of the students involved in classes 10A5, 10A6, 12A2, 12A3 to inform them about the incident and propose measures to coordinate with the police to resolve the matter. At the same time, it requested that the families whose children beat their friends visit the injured female student who is being treated at Viet Duc Hospital to apologize, share, encourage and support the family in timely care and treatment.
In addition, the police of Tan Phuc, Trung Chinh and Te Thang communes (Nong Cong district) are requested to continue investigating and resolving the incident.
In addition, the school will discipline the students as soon as possible.
