Nghe An: Summoned girl who spread school violence video on social media

On July 1, Nam Dan District Police (Nghe An) said that the unit had just discovered and handled a case of using social networks to spread videos with content about school violence but not true to the nature of the incident, causing confusion among the public.

Previously, through monitoring the situation on cyberspace, Nam Dan District Police discovered that since June 15, 2020, a number of Facebook social network accounts posted video clips and information related to the incident of a group of students from Hung Thai Nghia Secondary School, Nam Dan District, fighting.

Content and comments with offensive words on the Facebook page "Duyen phan bo si".

The Facebook account "Duyen phan bo shi" posted the above video clip with content that defames and discredits the school's teachers. In the comments section of the post, the account owner and many others used many offensive words to the honor and dignity of relatives and students involved in the fight in the video clip. The information posted was incomplete, but the number of shares of the post was high and fast, at one point the post received more than 500 shares, nearly 600 comments and tens of thousands of views and views of the video clip; causing confusion among the public and many conflicting opinions.

Considering that the posting and sharing of these contents has a negative impact on the awareness of many social network users, the content incites violence that is harmful to children, violates children, and children's rights that need to be prevented according to the provisions of Article 29 of the 2018 Law on Cyber ​​Security on child protection in cyberspace, Nam Dan District Police conducted a verification. The results determined that NT T (born in 1991), residing in Nam Hung Commune, Nam Dan District, is the user of the Facebook account "Duyen phan bo bi" so T was invited to the Commune Police headquarters for questioning.

During the investigation, T admitted to posting the above content on Facebook to condemn the school violence that had occurred and wanted the school to take measures to handle it and for the parents of the students to better educate their children.

T himself and many other social media users do not realize that sharing such information does not completely help prevent crimes from happening. On the contrary, spreading information and images of violence along with insulting and defamatory words about the students involved on the internet is an uncivilized behavior that incites violence and child abuse.

After working with the police, T realized his violation due to lack of legal knowledge and removed the related post.

Currently, the authorities are completing procedures to handle the subject in accordance with the law.

Regarding the cases of students involved in the above mentioned fight, Nam Dan District Police are currently verifying and clarifying to handle them in order to deter and prevent similar school violence cases from continuing to occur.
