Granddaughter had to be hospitalized for a health check

According to the livestream on social networks, this parent went to the school to work but was not initially allowed to enter, only when she threatened to broadcast live did the school open. However, she repeatedly received refusals from the school when she wanted to talk to her granddaughter who beat her child.

“We are not going to allow you to talk to another child. That is not acceptable” (We will not allow her to talk to her niece. That is not acceptable) – the school representative said.

In addition, when all 4 parents of the children who were beaten came, they were not welcomed, had to wait in the hallway while the parents of the niece accused of beating friends were allowed to sit in the office. In addition, during the livestream, Mrs. THT is very angry, but the school constantly asks her not to scream, otherwise there will be no conversation.

In addition, the school refused to deal with the incident and repeatedly mentioned calling the police.

“See, you see, I can’t even talk to that kid” – Mrs. THT said in the livestream.

Next, the school replied to her that it would give the other parent’s phone number so that the two parties could resolve it themselves with the reason that “the incident happened outside the school”. After a while, the school security took the other two students out of the building, these two showed a defiant attitude.

Ms. THT said on her personal page that the school announced the incident happened outside the school campus while the clip of the beating happened in the school yard. In addition, she also said that her child did not receive medical care. She requested to extract the camera but was not provided by the school.

Mrs. THT had to suspend her child from school because she was concerned that her child was not safe after being beaten by a student.

Some comments from social media users:

“Send my child to the school, my child is beaten, but the school is too irresponsible”.

“The school’s handling is so poor, the child gets hit and doesn’t get mad, the other man just stops yelling at me…”

“I don’t know the reason why they fight…but in an international environment, students still lose like this…the school should reconsider…”

“No matter how wrong or right, the school just checks the cam to solve it satisfactorily, but as if it is hiding and defending the bad, who can accept it. Then the school must also have the responsibility involved..”

According to Zing, Mr. Nathan Swenson informed that when he met students, some of them had scratches and bruises. So he sent the children to the school health room to check. The nurse determined that the student was scratched, there was no serious problem, so he sent them home.

According to the principal, the school follows the handling process, inviting relevant students to talk to find out before working with their families to resolve the matter. However, when they first started talking, parents came over, there was a dispute, they had to stop.

Due to the unresolved issue on May 26, May 27, the school continued to find out for a solution.

“Today, the school spoke to 14 students. We get the facts. The next step is to talk to the parent to resolve the issue. Normally, the school handles the incident smoothly to help the children resolve the conflict, but things become more difficult when the investigation process is hindered like that,” added a representative of ISHCMC-AA.

When asked about parents complaining about having to suspend their children from school because of concerns about safety, Mr. Swenson refused to provide information on whether students attended school or not on May 27. However, he has repeatedly insisted that the school is still safe and that “other students are still going to school”.

At the same time, he refused to share about how to deal with the students involved, saying that the school has regulations on disciplinary action but there has never been a precedent for students to fight like this incident.

Mr. Nathan Swenson admitted this was an unexpected incident, which happened when students were between the ages of 12 and 18, a time when they were still immature and prone to making mistakes. The school’s position is that no matter who is right or wrong, adults should respect the privacy of children.

“No matter what happens, we need to give them the opportunity to develop and learn from the incident,” he emphasized.

The principal of ISHCMC-AA said the school will also find out why the students involved did not report conflicts to teachers and staff before letting the matter become serious.

Mr. Swenson also said the school had sent an email to parents with children attending here to notify the incident. Regarding the fact that they have not contacted the family of the student who was beaten, he explained that because the incident happened on the afternoon of May 26, since then, they have been busy with many things, including the farewell meeting for the 12th graders, so have not worked with parents.

On May 27, the school plans to contact families to inquire about the student’s health status, notify them of the completion of the verification process and make an appointment with them.

Mr. Nathan Swenson reaffirmed that the school will handle it fairly, consistently, respond to parents and always be ready to listen to the opinions of students’ families.
