From an ethical perspective, as our ancestors often say, “a fierce tiger does not eat its own cub,” but this father has committed condemnable acts of “stealing” the child from his arms, threatening, yelling, and even “letting the child go,” endangering the child’s life. These acts not only hurt the child’s psychology, but also directly violate the rights of children protected by the United Nations Convention and Vietnamese law.
Previously, as Nghe An Newspaper reported at around 9:45 a.m. on November 21, many people gathered in front of a house in Tan Hoa block, Vinh Tan ward, Vinh city because they discovered a young man with unusual signs carrying a baby boy walking on the roof. While walking, he was screaming. At the same time, he held the baby's hands and feet, swinging them back and forth in the air many times, holding scissors and threatening to attack the baby.
Upon receiving the information, Vinh City Police organized forces to approach the scene, looking for an opportunity to rescue the child while trying to persuade the man to stop his behavior, but the subject became more aggressive. He continuously carried the child across many rooftops and threatened to throw him to the ground.
At around 11am, when the subject was carrying the child to the roof of the second floor of the house, he slipped and dropped the child from the roof onto the corrugated iron roof in front of the yard (about 5m high). After that, the man jumped down from the corrugated iron roof, picked up the child and dropped him onto the yard (about 4m high). Luckily, the police on duty below successfully caught the child safely. Immediately after that, the man was restrained by the police and put into the car. The subject was later identified as Le Ngoc Ha (born in 1985, residing in block 11, Hong Son ward, Vinh city). The child born in 2017 is Ha's son. On November 22, Vinh city police announced that they had detained Le Ngoc Ha for murder.
