A seventh grader in Gia Lai Province, located in Vietnam's Central Highlands region, used his smartphone to steal the passwords of two LED light boards at two schools and change their content to include filthy and offensive words, a local education official said on Thursday.
Many schools in Vietnam are equipped with LED light boards at their gates to provide students with necessary information.
Nguyen Dinh Thuc, head of the education and training bureau in Pleiku City, which is the capital of Gia Lai, said that police had launched a probe into a case in which two LED light boards at two schools in the city had their content changed.
The content was replaced with filthy and offensive words.
The two affected schools are Nguyen Luong Bang Elementary School and Ly Tu Trong Middle School.
Police investigation showed that the mischief-making boy was identified as a student at Ly Tu Trong Middle School.
The student confessed that another student in grade eight joined the mischief.
After the official result is announced, the education division will ask their schools and families to punish them, Thuc proclaimed.
He said that all schools in the province will have to tighten control over their LED light boards to prevent potential public disorder.
