On October 8, Buon Ma Thuot City Police (Dak Lak) said that Tan Lap Ward Police had just worked with the family of a nephew who specializes in street vending in the area to verify the injuries on his body.
Earlier that morning, on a Facebook social networking forum, information was posted: "This boy must be very familiar to the friends who often go drinking in Buon Ma Thuot. Yesterday, he was physically attacked by someone because of unsold goods, and you can probably guess who. Sometimes I feel sorry for the boy and want to buy to support him, but thinking about the adults...".
Attached is a picture of a child carrying a basket of quail eggs, boiled beans, and mangoes to sell while bleeding from his forehead.
Afterwards, Tan Lap Ward Police officers went to the family to clarify the information.
At the meeting, Ms. T, temporarily residing at a motel in Tan Lap ward, confirmed that the grandson reported was C (born 2013), her grandson.
Mrs. T's family of 6 people has rented a room since 2020 to sell goods in the city. After each sale, C often gives money to Mrs. T or her uncle to keep for her.
Ms. T said that the reason C was bleeding from the head was because he fell down the stairs while selling goods at a beer house on Hoang Dieu Street on the evening of October 7, not because he was beaten.
