In this world, certain stories always happen beyond our imagination, they are chilling and shocking to the heart. That's one of those stories. She is a 26-year-old woman named Trang, and her social media is full of beautiful photos, her gestures, and her smile. In the eyes of many, she is the embodiment of the goddess. No one could have imagined that this glamorous goddess would become the main culprit in a heinous case of child abuse. The truth of the matter is this, in a high-end apartment, Trang and her fiancé's daughter, a well-behaved little girl, begin her tragic life. Since September of this year, this innocent life has been forced to seek knowledge in the online world, and the counseling she has suffered has come from a cruel stepmother. Trang, the woman, not only beat the child with a rattan stick, but also a wooden stick became a tool for her violence. When the rattan broke, she didn't hesitate to switch to a stiffer stick. One day, while tutoring with homework, Trang violently beat the little girl for half an hour because she repeatedly answered incorrectly.
In the afternoon of the same day, the little girl ate pho and drank three cartons of milk. Who knew that after this lunch, she would face a cruel torture. At 6 p.m., the exhausted child said he wanted to rest, and Trang later found that the child was vomiting and in extremely poor physical condition. She immediately notified her fiancé, who found out that the situation was critical, picked up her daughter and ran to the hospital. It's a pity that by the time everything was revealed in the sun, it was already too late. The medical examiner's report was gruesome, and the little girl's body was covered with old wounds, with bruises on her armpits, buttocks, head, etc. She even had to shave off part of her head to close the wound due to the severity of the injury. It was determined that she died of acute pulmonary edema. When the police searched the high-end apartment, which was drowning in pain, they found a damaged floor mop stick with the little girl's hair stuck to it, confirming the existence of the atrocity. What is even more shocking is that the police also found a "daily chore list", which details the little girl's daily work, from getting up at 7 in the morning, to going to class at 4 in the afternoon to do her homework, and then to throwing garbage alone with a heavy garbage bag at 10 o'clock in the evening.
As the case deepened, the testimonies of the neighbors also surfaced, and they confirmed the situation of the little girl throwing garbage late at night, which further pointed to the fact that Trang had been abusing her stepdaughter for a long time. And in this incident, the biological father of the little girl was not spared. The police investigation revealed that although he was not directly involved in the abuse, he turned a blind eye to his fiancée's brutality and even acquiesced. When his daughter asked him for help, telling him about his fear of his stepmother and aunt, he didn't give him the protection he deserved. He has also been arrested and is facing further police scrutiny. This case shakes the public conscience, and it reveals the ugliness and sin that hides beneath the glamorous exterior. The loss of a life has aroused widespread concern about domestic violence and child protection. The sanction of the law may give punishment, but everything pales in comparison to a life that has disappeared. We look forward to the justice of the trial and to the recurrence of such tragedies. And for those children who have been abused, the only thing we can do is to remind ourselves that it is the responsibility and obligation of every adult to protect them.
Behind ordinary life, there may be hidden pain that no one knows, and we cannot turn a blind eye to it or stand idly by. Because every child deserves a loving and safe childhood. In a glamorous world of social media, photos of the life of a family stand out. The heroine of the photo, Trang, has everything that people envy: a rich life, a seemingly loving fiancé, and a lovely little daughter. But behind this smiling image, there is a heartbreaking story. Trang seems to be an expert at orchestration on social media. Behind these delicate images, however, there is a mournful voice that a neighbor does not want to recall. Domestic violence, an issue that many people avoid in reality, is vividly staged in Trang's home. And the most helpless is the little girl who laughs the most innocently in the photo. The girl's hand has a bruise that shouldn't have appeared. These details, captured by the keen eyes of netizens, have provoked people's anger.
But anger didn't stop the tragedy from happening. While people were still trying to uncover the truth behind this, a scream that disturbed the neighbors cut off all hope. "No breathing" – that was the last thing the neighbor heard that day. The truth of the incident is so brutal. Trang is not the little girl's biological mother, but a "stepmother", a person who treats innocent lives with cruelty. Her abusive tools included rattan, wooden slippers, mops and feather brooms. This home, once full of laughter, has become a nightmare for little girls. Neighbors have tried to intervene through security guards, but to no avail. Until that day, the continuous noise and screaming came to an abrupt end, and everything became dead silent. Behind this tragedy is an alienated biological mother who has endless thoughts and worries about her daughter. She had a good time with her ex-husband and had the laughter of her two children. But when she found out about her husband's affair – and that third party was none other than Trang – she chose to divorce. After the divorce, she was forced to separate from her daughter, and her ex-husband forbade her to see her. The daughter's uncle revealed these details.
He told the media that his sister almost had a nervous breakdown after learning of her daughter's death. In this tragedy, caused by the decisions and actions of adults, it is those that hurt the most innocent lives the most. The niece's biological mother could only secretly see her daughter at school, and during that meeting, the mother and daughter hugged each other tightly and cried. My niece's words were poignant: "Dad has never let me see Mom, so I can only take the risk to come to see you." Don't cry, Mom, don't be sad. "Now, it's irreparable. Trang's father had not allowed his daughter to meet her birth mother. Now that her daughter has gone to Heaven, her birth mother will no longer be able to touch her daughter's face. The cruelty of this story is that the love between the birth mother and the daughter is ruthlessly deprived, and a person who cannot give true maternal love is able to easily give harm. What social media photos of life can't tell us is that beneath the surface of happiness, some families may hide deep sadness and pain. The incident not only angered local netizens, but also sparked widespread concern and discussion about domestic violence.
In this story, there are too many heartbreaking moments, too many cries that should be heard are ignored. Now, when the tragedy is finally revealed to the public, one can only hope that such a story will not be repeated again. In this story of unsolved mysteries and grief, the tragedy of my sister is not just the collapse of a family, but also the epitome of a community's quest for order and justice. What we cannot ignore are the details and questions that are surging in the shadows, like swords hanging in the air, ready to pierce the veil of truth. My sister's marriage was supposed to be the beginning of laughter and happiness, but it ended in divorce. Those days and nights that we once spent together have become a thing of the past in an instant. After the divorce, my sister was not completely isolated, and she still kept in touch with her neighbors who lived in the same neighborhood. Perhaps for her, the greetings and care between those neighbors are a rare comfort for her in a stormy life. However, no one would have imagined that this once welcoming neighborhood would become a place of suspicion and fear overnight.
One night, neighbors heard unusual noises — running, beatings, and angry name-calling. It was a palpitating sound, and it signaled a storm was coming. What is even more disturbing is that in the midst of this chaos, the CCTV footage in the apartment was deleted. Whose hand is this? Why did it happen? Was it to hide some ulterior secret? These questions are like unsolved cases, and they are on everyone's minds. And after this turmoil, my sister's daughter, an innocent girl, unfortunately died. The news came like a bolt from the blue and shocked the entire community. My uncle's feelings are extremely complicated, not only has he lost a loved one, but he is also facing an unbelievable reality. He questioned the lack of information about the lack of information from the police who had yet to explain the cause of the girl's death to them, leaving pain and confusion intertwined into an unbreakable web. What made the uncle even more sad and angry was that the biological father, who was supposed to protect the girl, became an accomplice to this tragedy in his opinion. The uncle, in a fit of rage, described the 30 minutes the suspect beating his sister as a murder.
The metaphor was undoubtedly extreme, but driven by heartbreak and anger, his feelings were so real. This event was like a boulder that weighed on everyone's hearts. The uncle's accusations and doubts, the neighbors' accounts of what happened that night, and the disappearance of CCTV footage all hint at a deep and complex truth. The neighbors in the community began to contact spontaneously, they were not willing to be mere spectators, they hoped to find a just answer for the woman who had smiled and communicated with them, for the young life. They pass information inside and outside the community, exchanging everything they know, hoping to piece together the full picture of the truth. This tragedy is not just about one family, it is about the conscience and justice of the entire community. People began to reflect if those noises had not been ignored, if those CCTV footage had not been removed, if the police had been able to explain the cause of death more quickly, if ...... All these ifs have turned into heavy question marks hanging in everyone's heart. The story is not over yet, because the truth is still not revealed.
Everyone is trying to break through this fog in their own way. Perhaps, only when all the mysteries are solved and all the voices are heard, can the community regain the harmony and serenity it once had. And for my sister and her daughter, a fair trial may be the only consolation they can get.
