Teacher’s aide stole autistic girl's lunch money for weeks, court hears

A US jury awarded $5,700 (€4,470) to the family of an autistic girl whose lunch money was stolen for nearly two months by a teacher’s aide.

The Ventura County panel in southern California found that Oxnard Union High School District was negligent for failing to remove the aide from Megan Spitzer’s special education class in 2007.
