Woman forces 4-year-old child to sell lottery tickets, threatens "If you can't sell all of them, you'll know what I'm doing"

On March 13, a video clip appeared on social media recording a scene of a little boy holding a stack of lottery tickets, appearing scared, walking backwards to avoid being approached by a woman who loudly threatened him.

The owner of the clip, Ms. NT, said the incident happened a few days ago, in an alley on Duong Ba Trac Street (District 8, HCMC).

Người phụ nữ bắt bé 4 tuổi bán vé số, nạt nộ không hết, biết tay tao - 1 — The boy appeared scared when the woman threatened and forced him to sell lottery tickets (Photo cut from clip: Provided by the character).

Ms. T. said the incident happened around 12 noon. She and her staff heard loud yelling outside so they went out to see.

At this time, Ms. T. saw a little boy (about 4 years old) standing under the sun, holding a stack of lottery tickets in his hand, frantically moving forward and then backing away, looking scared.

The woman in the clip rushed towards the boy, waved her hand and continuously threatened, causing the boy to quickly retreat: "If your lottery ticket is still intact from now until this afternoon, you will know who I am! If you stand there and refuse to come in (to invite customers to buy lottery tickets), you will get slapped later. I will tear up your lottery ticket to beat you and then I will leave."

Seeing that the boy was still scared and did not dare to enter the milk tea shop to offer lottery tickets, the woman continuously threatened: "Now give me the lottery tickets, don't curse me to not sell any. I will hit you in the stomach right now, do you believe it?".

Hearing that, the boy covered his stomach with his hands, gave back the lottery tickets and left with the woman.

Witnessing the incident, Ms. T. recorded it on her phone and posted it on social media. She said that the boy and the woman often sell in alley 109 Duong Ba Trac (Ward 1, District 8). This is not the first time the boy selling lottery tickets has been threatened and forced into shops in this alley to invite customers to buy tickets.

The clip attracted hundreds of thousands of views and hundreds of interactions. Many social media accounts expressed outrage at the woman in the clip. Many also asked many questions about the relationship between the woman and the boy.
