My Tho City: Verifying clip of boy being abused on the street

Photo cut from clip posted by TM account owner on personal Facebook page.

Previously, a Facebook account named TM posted a clip extracted from a camera, more than 3 minutes long, recording a scene where a boy about 8 years old was repeatedly questioned by a woman in her 20s about why she did not sell all the cakes and fruits that she delivered. While speaking, the woman also slapped her repeatedly in the face. At first, the boy mumbled an explanation, but when the woman beat him repeatedly, he could only stand there and cry, not daring to fight back.

Talking to reporters, Ms. T., owner of the TM account, said that the incident happened at 11 p.m. on April 2. At that time, she was in the house and heard loud shouting outside the gate, so she turned on the camera and discovered the incident. Seeing the child being beaten for a while, she opened the door to try to stop him, but the woman also cursed at her with vulgar words, then she and the boy left on a motorbike.

According to Ms. T., this boy often sells goods (cakes, fruits) at drinking places. The person who beat the boy was his older sister. The reason could be because he could not sell all his goods, so his older sister scolded and beat him on the street.

It is known that after being posted, the clip attracted more than 112,000 views and nearly 500 comments, most of whom expressed outrage at the woman's actions.
