Images cut from some video clips shared on social networks.

Regarding a video appearing on social media recording a suspected scene of "a boy being forced to use suspected drugs", on the afternoon of March 26, Ho Chi Minh City Police brought two people, Nguyen Thao Nguyen (born 2000, residing in Tan Binh District), and Le Van Bam (born 1979) to work to clarify the entire incident. This is a case that has caused a stir in public opinion in recent days.

Previously, at 7:00 p.m. on March 24, a Facebook account named "Hoa Hoa Da" posted an article with the content "I hope everyone will share to help the police intervene to save the child... (50/9 Hau Lan hamlet, Ba Diem commune, Hoc Mon district)" with 2 photos of a young man and a woman, 5 clips with the content of a 3-year-old boy being given a substance suspected to be... by a man.crystal meth.

Through verification, Hoc Mon District Police, Ho Chi Minh City went to the above address and determined that the house had been inhabited by 5 people since 2018 and was used for business.

All 5 people confirmed that there was no child abuse or drug abuse at the house as reported online. The people in the clip also do not live there.

Continuing the investigation, the police worked with Mr. Tran Minh T. (born in 1993, residing in Tan Binh district), the father of the child in the clip.

Mr. T. said that in 2018 he married Nguyen and had 2 children, N. (born 2018) and Th. (born 2020).

At this time, both of them used the address 50/9 Hau Lan Hamlet to do electronics business.

In 2021, due to conflicts between the couple, Nguyen took the two children and lived with a man named Bam as husband and wife.

In March 2023, Mr. T. called Nguyen and lent him his Facebook address, "Nguyen Thao", to sell goods.

When Mr. T. logged in, he discovered clips of Nguyen and his lover Bam giving his son Th. a substance suspected to be drugs, so he downloaded them.

On the evening of March 24, Mr. T. posted a video clip on his personal page.

Because this account has few interactions, T. asked an acquaintance to share it. Because he did not know the address and saw on Nguyen's Facebook that the address was 50/9 Hau Lan Hamlet, he posted the address because he thought his wife and her husband lived there.

On March 25, the police worked with Mr. T. and Nguyen's parents.

At the same time, many scouts were sent to the West to search for Nguyen and Bam.

On March 26, the police found two people and invited them in for questioning. The case is currently being further investigated.
