A Malibu school district is ordered to pay $45 million to a family of autistic twins who were routinely abused by a school aid. Last week, a judge ruled in favor of Charles and Nadine Wong and their now 12-year-old sons on October 20 after the couple alleged the boys were physically abused as second graders at Juan Cabrillo Elementary School by instructional aid Galit Gottlieb. The lawsuit against Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District was filed in 2019 and said the abuse was initially reported by a bus driver that saw Gottlieb restrain and put hand sanitizer on the then eight-year-old boy's cuts during the 2017-18 school year.
