According to Mr. Dang, through initial verification from the clip content, the female student who beat her friend was XT (class 8/6, Nguyen Trai Secondary School), the female student who was beaten was HT (class 9/2, Luong The Vinh Secondary School, Ward 8, Vinh Long City). As for the remaining students, the school is coordinating with the police to verify their identities and the cause of the incident.

"XT is a problem student at Nguyen Trai Secondary School, often violating school rules. Last year, he had to practice good conduct during the summer to qualify to move up to the next grade," Mr. Dang added.

Previously, on the evening of October 31, a 33-second clip was circulated on social media, recording a scene of a female student and several people "ganging up" on another female student in front of the Vinh Long Provincial Convention Center (Ward 9, Vinh Long City). According to the clip, the group of female students beat their friend with helmets and kicked her; at the same time, they also beat another person when he tried to stop them.

A group of female students beat up the person who tried to stop the incident.

After the clip went viral on social media, there were many angry comments, asking the authorities to investigate the matter. Stronger measures are needed to prevent violence among today's youth.
