The four boys who ran away from an orphanage in Dong Nai Province were not abused or violently treated by the orphanage manager as they alleged, police have concluded.

 

The eldest boy wanted to take revenge on the manager, Le Thi Phuong Lan, because she had constantly scolded him for his stubbornness and disobedience, according to Mr. Truong Quoc Hieu, deputy director of Bien Hoa City Police.

 

He then persuaded the others to leave with him and lied to the media and police about abuses by Lan.
