Woman calls for help in front of hospital after being pickpocketed: Suspected fake scene

Accordingly, on February 10, 2025, on social networking sites, a video of a woman holding her child crying and asking for help from the online community was circulated in front of the gate of the Medical Examination Department, Children's Hospital 2.

In the video, the woman said that at about 4:30 a.m. on February 10, 2025, she took her child from her hometown to the hospital for medical examination. When waiting for the car outside the hospital gate, two people came to ask for directions, gave the phone to look at for a while, but did not know anything, then were pickpocketed by two people, losing all the 9,500,000 VND that had been saved for medical examination for the child. This video has received the attention of social network users and nearby residents.

A representative of Children's Hospital 2 said that after receiving information on social networks, the hospital's Board of Directors directed relevant departments to quickly coordinate with the Ben Nghe Ward Police (District 1, Ho Chi Minh City) to extract security cameras for investigation and clarification. At the same time, the hospital has actively researched information about pediatric patients.

The police quickly extracted security cameras from the hospital and surrounding households. The results determined that at 4:37 a.m. on February 10, the woman carrying a baby went from gate 4 to Children's Hospital 2. At 6:18 a.m., the mother and daughter walked across the street to have breakfast and then re-entered the hospital in the area in front of the lobby waiting for the examination, and at 6:49 a.m., they turned on their livestream phones.

The two continued in the hospital lobby, at 12:37 p.m. they crossed the street for lunch and at 13:22 they continued to return to the hospital. At 14:08, the woman and the baby went to gate 5 to take a motorbike taxi to leave.

From the results of checking and retrieving security cameras, Children's Hospital 2 affirmed that the information the woman shared on social networks was completely false. Conclusions from the Police, there was no incident of pickpocketing in front of the gate of Children's Hospital 2 as narrated.

From the results of the above investigation, the hospital urges people not to continue sharing this video as well as transfer money to the account number provided by the woman. In the face of information calling for support, it is recommended that people need to be vigilant and carefully study the content.

Regarding the above incident, after the woman's livestream content went viral on social networks, many people sent out warning information to the community about deceiving people. A social network account said that a similar drama had occurred in Dak Lak and some other provinces and cities, causing many benefactors to "fall into the trap" of transferring money to the woman's account. The above case is continuing to be investigated and clarified by the police agency.

Through research, it is known that the woman in the clip is Ms. H.T.X. (38 years old, residing in Ea O commune, Ea Kar district, Dak Lak). Talking to the media, Ms. X. admitted that her 16-month-old son was sick and developmentally retarded, so on the evening of February 9, she took him to Children's Hospital 2 for medical examination. On the morning of February 10, when she was standing in front of the hospital gate, she was pickpocketed by two people who took all 9.5 million VND.

Ms. X. said that after losing her money, she could only cry and tell a friend about the incident. This friend advised her to record a clip and post it on social networks to get help. As a result, she received support from the online community, enough money to take her child to the hospital and return to Dak Lak.

According to Ms. X., she deleted the post after receiving more than 27 million VND, an amount much larger than the cost of medical examination for her child. She thanked everyone for their kindness and affirmed that she did not intend to deceive anyone.

Before the allegations, Ms. X. admitted that she had been in debt due to business losses 3 years ago but affirmed that she did not take advantage of her son for profit. Ms. X. said she was willing to cooperate with the authorities to clarify the matter.
