Phuong Quynh Anh is a teacher at Hong Nhung 2 Kindergarten and is responsible for picking up and dropping off children.
According to the investigation, at around 6:20 a.m. on May 29, Mr. Nguyen Van Lam drove a 29-seat car with Phuong Quynh Anh to pick up TGH and 9 other students to go to school. When arriving at the school, driver Lam opened the car door for the teacher and the students to go to class by themselves.
After that, Mr. Lam drove his car to the school gate and left. When entering the classroom, the class teacher took a photo of the students' attendance and sent it to the school's software for monitoring and management. He discovered that H. was absent, but did not notify the family. At about 5 p.m. the same day, H.'s uncle came to pick him up and discovered that he was not in class and had been forgotten on the school bus, leading to his death.
