Vì sao một học sinh du học tại Mỹ phải bỏ về nước?


22:56:00, 20/09/2007
 

Dù chính sách của Việt là không copy lại bài từ cái bài báo của Việt Nam để post vì đó là một hành động dư thừa, trang web của báo Thanh Niên dạo này cứ khùng khùng lúc vào được lúc không buộc mình phải copy lên. Mọi người đọc thử rồi cho ý kiến nha.

Vào một ngày trung tuần tháng 8.2007, tôi nhận được e-mail cấp báo của một người mẹ từ TP.HCM. Trong thư, cô nhờ tôi bằng bất cứ giá nào hãy liên hệ ngay với một trường trung học ở Bắc California để “giải cứu” cho cô con gái vừa mới đặt chân đến nước Mỹ du học chỉ vài ngày trước đó. Lý do là cô con gái đòi tự tử nếu như không đưa cô ra ngay khỏi hoàn cảnh hiện tại.

Đang chuẩn bị lên đường để gặp và thuyết phục cô gái tiếp tục ở lại học (quãng đường từ Nam Cali lên đến tận Bắc Cali - nơi ngôi trường tọa lạc xa chừng 1.100km) thì tôi nhận tiếp cú điện thoại khẩn báo là cô bé đã “cắt đứt mọi liên lạc” (chat, e-mail, điện thoại…) với cả người nhà lẫn bạn bè thân thích ở TP.HCM với lời nhắn là “sẽ không còn thấy nhau”. Việc đầu tiên là tôi gọi ngay số điện thoại 911 (khẩn cấp) báo cho cảnh sát biết có một trường hợp như thế để nhờ can thiệp, ngăn chặn cháu có những hành động rồ dại, thiếu suy nghĩ. Tôi cũng yêu cầu mẹ cháu liên hệ với trung tâm tư vấn du học gửi ngay e-mail qua trường trung học ở Mỹ giới thiệu tôi là người bảo hộ (guardian) của cháu để có đủ thẩm quyền làm việc với nhà trường.
