The Tam Binh Ward People's Committee provided this information in a rapid report sent to the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee and the Department of Education and Training on 18/7, regarding social media complaints about a boy at Ngoi Nha Xanh Independent Preschool, Ngo Chi Quoc street.

According to the report, immediately after receiving the complaints, the ward People's Committee directed relevant units to urgently inspect the facility. The inspection revealed that the preschool operates with the correct license and its basic facilities are adequate; no signs of abuse were found on the boy.

Tam Binh Ward Police invited the facility owner and relevant individuals for questioning. Initial verification confirmed some incidents as reported, but no signs of abuse were detected.

The report stated that the boy had been attending the facility since 2023 and transferred to the senior preschool class on 6/7. Teachers noted that he often did not nap, talked frequently, and disturbed other children. On 7/7, a teacher asked him to take his blanket and pillow outside the room so other children could sleep. He then lay in front of the classroom door, near the restroom area. The facility owner stated that the teacher had been reprimanded after the incident.

On 14/7, while washing hands after lunch, a teacher hit the boy's hand when he was playing with water. Two days later, the academic manager informed the boy's mother about the incident. During a meeting with the family, the involved teachers admitted to these actions, after which the parent posted the information on social media.

The ward People's Committee stated that it visited the family and observed that the boy's health and spirits were stable, with no injuries found on his body.

The local authorities continue to direct the police to promptly verify the facts for a final conclusion, while also increasing inspections and supervision of preschool facilities in the area.
