In recent days, netizens have been passing around a clip of a young girl (about 14 or 15 years old) holding a long stick forcing a female student to kneel down and apologize to her in the middle of the street while also eating sand.

N is being forced to eat sand - Photo cut from clip

According to our verification, the female student forced to kneel in the clip is L, a 7th grade student at Trung An Secondary School, Cu Chi District, Ho Chi Minh City. The girl holding the stick is NBN, a former student at Trung An Secondary School (1-2 grades above L), who is currently out of school.

In the clip, N holds a rather long stick, threatens L, and offers L three forms of "punishment" to choose from: one is to "eat" three sticks; two is to kneel down to apologize and eat sand; three is to fight with N with bare hands (while N is holding the stick).

Under pressure from N and N's friends, L knelt down to apologize. But N insisted on forcing L: "What? I don't like talking too much" and at the same time used his feet to gather sand for L. to eat with his hands.

When L put sand in his mouth, he felt uncomfortable and spit some out. N ordered: “Why are you spitting it out when you’re eating? Pick it up! Quickly!”. Then, N raised his voice: “Swallow! Are you going to swallow it?”.

It is worth mentioning that N. asked his friends to film the clip.

Although the incident happened right on the street, with many students standing around watching, the students did not intervene but instead showed interest.

At the end of the clip, a friend of N. came out to stop him: "Stop it, let it go" when he saw N forcing L. to swallow sand.

According to the report sent by Mr. Nguyen Van Tuong, principal of Trung An Secondary School to the Department of Education and Training of Cu Chi, L. and N. are both residing in Trung An Commune, Cu Chi District. The reason for the incident was that the two students had a conflict with each other before and made an appointment to meet to resolve it.

Meanwhile, a relative of L. said: The incident happened on the afternoon of April 12. When L was returning from school, N and N's group of friends stopped him, forcing L and two other schoolmates to go to an area more than 1 km away from the school to resolve the matter.

The reason was that before that, N. was driving his motorbike on the street, revving the exhaust. When he passed L. and L.'s friends (who were riding their bicycles home from school), N. turned around and asked: "Who cursed me?"

L.'s group replied that no one cursed N. but only laughed and joked with each other. N. did not believe it and thought that L. had cursed him.

A few days later, N. waited until school was over and beat L. once on the way home, but felt unsatisfied so he thought of a way to torture L. again.

It was not until L.'s family's neighbors saw the clip online that L.'s parents learned the full story.
